I hope to write a bit more about Yugosla...@Ingemar<br /><br />I hope to write a bit more about Yugoslavia, but not much more about Trifkovic. I wrote about Trifkovic not because of the Croat/Serb conflict, rather, his inclusion in the conservosphere is a prime example of some of the rot in conservative thought.<br /><br />I do want to write about Yugoslavia though, because I feel it was a wonderful example of left wing thought and its pathologies writ large.<br /><br />As for the Orthodox Serb connection, it is many ways similar to the Catholic Croat one. (Especially during WW2). For many people religion is more a marker of which side they are on(even for the religious) more than a philosophy by which they live by.<br /><br />@Simon<br /><br />Thanks.The Social Pathologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927698533626086780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-57087202571524923042012-07-12T05:19:05.697+10:002012-07-12T05:19:05.697+10:00I had wondered if everything was alright.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure all bloggers hit the writing wall every now and then.

Not that I am tired of it, but I believe your posts are well argued and points well taken. <br /><br />In my spiritual corner (Orthodox converts) there are some who are prone to take the pro-Serb side of things. What I wonder now is if the now-deceased Patriarch Pavle had anything to do with covering up for Serbian atrocities or if he really is the holy man Serbs say he is.Ingemarnoreply@blogger.com
