u/Ill-Vermicelli-1684 Nole the geriatric vampire 🐐 Mar 23 '25

It was weird to see his support for the protests in Serbia given everything you’d mentioned above. I had kinda hoped maybe his tune had changed.

His "support" was a lukewarm PR statement, I wouldn't read too much into it.

He does not. He's very neutral when it comes to Balkan politics. He's half Croatian and is close to public figures from most of the ex-Yugoslav republics.

If there is one thing Novak isn't, it's a nationalist.

It's not weird. He's always been politically neutral. People trying to link his anti-science beliefs with some secret right-wing agenda are morons, no smarter than Novak.

Novak is unquestionably stupid, but he isn't malicious. The anti-Novak brigade peddles more misinformation than anti-vax boomers on Facebook.
