I already opened similar thread, but thought this exact topic of ex-yugoslav mindset should be presented in thread of it's own.
I think this will be interesting thread for people to read, and I think almost everyone from Ex-Yugoslavia will agree with this post, maybe this will be the first thread where ppl from Ex-Yugoslavia will not fight amongst each others but actually agree about this.
Everyone knows I am not a fan of Ex-Yugoslavia, but I am transparent guy, I try to be, so I want to say some things here about Ex-Yugoslavia people to everyone;
1st. In my honest opinion EX-Yugoslavia had most richest variety of European phenotypes in one country, from Norics and Baltids to Dinarics.
Means; Norics, W.Baltids, Atlanto, Dinarics, Gorids, Pontids, North Pontids, Alpines, Dinarized Gracile Meds, etc etc etc...
And ppl were not even paying attention to this things back then, it was common that country (Yugoslavia) had such rich variety of European people in one country.
2nd. Because of this and other things, mindset of Ex-Yugslavs was; Yugoslav ppl considered themselves superior over most of ppl in Europe, for example;
A) Yugoslavs were mocking to all other Slavs (except to Russians, but even to them sometimes), Yugoslav ppl considered other Slavs as a joke, in sport terms especially.
Not only that Yugoslavs considered other Slavs as joke in sport terms, but as joke in general, like; "they're all pussies, we're better than them because... we are THE BEST..." haha lol.
Yugoslavs also thought of themselves as the most beautiful people in Europe and that no one could match them, men thought of themselves as most handsom, and women as most beautiful.
Just sayin how it was back then ., they were mocking other Europeans how short they are and how Yugoslavs are tall and handsom.
B) Yugoslavs considered countries like Bulgaria or Romania as somethin like "Africa", honestly, I am not trying to insult anyone here, GOD FORBID, I am just talking about that mindset back then.
C) Yugoslavs were also arrogant considered many Western European countries, they considered Italians and French AS GAYS and cowards.
When someone would mention French or Italian to some Yugoslav considering sports or any kind of competition, random Yugoslav would ask; "Are you fucking joking"? lol
IMO the only countries Yugoslavs respected in Europe to some degree was; UK and Germany, but UK the most.
Scandinavians were viewed as; "they're all blonde, they're so boring, and we have blondes AND EVERYONE ELSE from Europe".
And about sports, Yugoslavs honestly thought of everyone in Europe considering sports like everyone were inferior scums in comparison to Yugoslavs in any sport, you name it (except maybe Hockey, that's it).
3rd. Everyday jokes in Ex-Yugoslavia about rest of European countries in military point of view was; "We would crush Italy in less than 24 hours, all cowards and gays".
Then; "Turkey is no match for us, they're all gypsies with guns".
Oh yeah, when I mentioned this, Yugoslavs even though communist country, they were in some aspect very racist.
About Albanians Yugoslavs (except Croats and Slovenes) thought everything worst you can imagine, they were considered even lower than Romania or Bulgaria in Yugoslav eyes.
Spaniards were also considered as joke, in sports, in all sort of stuff.
4th. Yugoslavia was considered to have the BEST ROCK scene in Europe besides UK, and this was actually said by several great musicians from UK.
P.S. Point of this thread is NOT TO INSULT ANYONE, AS I'VE SAID, I'M NOT EVEN A FAN OF EX-YUGOSLAVIA (everyone knows this), I just wanted to open some thread about this aspect about Yugoslavia which no one is mentioning, which is; Yugoslav people (as people of that country) were truly arrogant one, they thought of themselves as superior to almost everyone in Europe; considering sports, military, strength, appearence (looks), courage etc...
So..., when I see sometimes other Slavs here loving Yugoslavia I didnt wanted to say anything but I was laughing inside myself because I know what kind of opinion Yugoslavs had about rest of Slavs, and in fact about majority of Europeans, and opinion was; everyone was beneath Yugoslavs; considering sports, courage, appearence, intelligence etc...
At the end Ex-Yugoslav Anthem (with ENG Subs) with ppl from Ex-Yugoslavia:
P.S. You can notice that attitude of "we're the best" trough this anthem as well, hard to explain lol.
Honestly, this is no joke, EX-YUGOSLAV mindset didn't even care about germanics, romance, hellenic etc... or even slavic world, EX-YUGOSLAV mindset was that Yugoslavs ARE THE BEST over anyone else, except maybe equals are only Germans and British, but even them in sports were considered as joke.
Many of EX-Yugoslav songs are totally and fully ment to raise such degree of patriotism in a person that such patriotism could turn quickly into racism toward other people of Europe, nevermind it was communist country, and nevermind nations in Yugoslavia hated each others INSIDE OF YUGOSLAVIA, but when it came about ppl outside of Yugoslavia, they were considered as low lives on every level; racially, trough genetics, sports, mindset etc...
Average Yugoslav was thought that he can crush anyone in his/her path with Yugoslavia and that no one can match Yugoslav superiority, and that was just matter of time when Yugoslavia will take over Europe as military power number 1 when develops nuclear weapon (which was honestly under going if wasnt for war).
One of Yugoslav songs, lyrics full of rage+pride+extreme superiority over everyone else:
Ofcourse all this now is dead, but this was the mindset because of which some Yugoslav nostalgic people says; "once we were best, now we are nothing".
