This is why I cannot subscribe to the idea that what we seeing now is the same thing we saw in the late 80s/early 90s.
A lot of work went into convincing Serbs they should take up arms against their neighbours in the 90s. The propaganda was more subtle. Now, it's impertinent.

One of the biggest obstacles to the idea of Greater Serbia for political leadership in the 90s was in fact the ethnic unity within Bosnia. They openly spoke about how to sow discord, how to get Serbs on their side, how to turn the Muslims into the enemy. It was a lot of work.
We are not there anymore. We are instead in a situation where for 30 years they've been pushing a massive ethno-nationalist propaganda campaign on a socio-political level. There is far more hatred now than probably any time before in Bosnian history, if you ask me.
Anyway, can you tell my brain is working over time because my tweets are all over the place?
Gonna try and do some more long-form writing today and publish some stuff on my substack that will give a bit more depth to this. (If I have time).
