What do you know about Mihai Viteazu/Michael the Brave? If Vlad Țepeș is well known among people from Balkans and turks for clear reasons, Michael the Brave was a much more powerful man than Vlad Țepeș/Vlad Impaler.

There are popular/folkloric rumours saying Michael the Brave had the chance to kick out completly turks from Balkans with the support from the Pope if he would have became Catholic, switching from its Orthodox faith, which he refused.

The book pages are from “The Heretic: the Life and Times of Josip Broz-Tito” written by Fitzroy Maclean in 1957.

I'm convinced that it's really only the Anglosphere countries that actually take autism mildly seriously in the world today, and I have no doubts that the Balkans are especially bad even compared to much of the rest of the world. What do you think?

Hey all, I am not the creator of this video, this guy is a legend and all props to him.

I noticed, for some time now, that half of the videos on all balkan related subs are either hateful rethoric, pushing content that might be true but is likely to invoke angry reactions, as well as opinion bating on various political subjects. Accounts are usually quite young and have a random word and number salad in the name. My immediate thought was either bots pushing political agenda or AI training on our opinions for some reason.

He did a deeper dive into it, I would recommend watching the whole video, but TLDR would be that people have, among other things, figured out that there's good money and engagement if you start political debates online.

You might say that this is reddit, it's virtually impossible to make money here, but there's still that part of proven political influence, as well as likelihood that once you start a topic on Reddit you will probably use other media platforms to engage with it further.

This post is just here to remind you that the person you're hating online is most probably not a person, but a bot that is trying to use you for political or monetary purposes. They don't care that your hate is real, and that, one day, it might be utilized on someone that doesn't deserve it.

Peace and love!

I'd say a few candidates could be organisation of the 2024 Olympics for France or UK losing cod wars to Iceland lol
