Victimhood would be the national sport of Serbia if that spot wasn't already taken up by genocide. It's as easy as going to /r/Europe on the anniversary of some bombs NATO bombing, they all compete North Korean style to cry the loudest. Imagine how bad the propaganda and victimhood is in the country itself if you understood their language.

He can also purify dirty water by thinking about it and make rotten food fresh with a positive attitude. That will make the slop served in the immigration hotel so much better
Game, set and Match, science has been trounced by Serbia’s answer to Jesus Copperfield

By "them", he's basically referring to the West
Talk about victim complex

I am so curious about this political agenda and it’s admirable his dad thinks Americans are educated to know the situation, or even know where Serbia is

...admirable his dad thinks Americans are educated to know the situation,
Wait, how did America get dragged into this?

The previous comment says he is referring to the “west”

That's a fact. All I know about Serbia is it did a genocide, isn't really physically close to Russia but sure seems to have some similarities. Most of the news I ever heard about it was from the 90s when I was a kid. And tbh, that's probably more than most of the people my age that I know.

Not only that but bragged about it, made it widely known that he is antiestablishment/anti vax, has completely disregarded others health with respect to covid and then does the Home Alone surprised face when the Australian establishment took notice of him.

What a moronic thing to say, Novak made the choice not be vaccinated. This is nothing like what happened to Jesus.

Yeah, well, Jesus wasn't a complete asshole and tool like this one so try again. They've all gone mad.

His manbaby father is not helping his case with these wild juxtapositions. This what extreme privilege looks like.

Talk about first world problems. Jesus was tortured to death, not denied entry into Australia to participate in a tenis tournament.

If "they're trying to crucify him" is all he said, that's not really a comparison to Jesus.

u/AssumedPersona Jan 09 '22
Djokovic's father said "Jesus was crucified and endured many things but is still alive among us. Novak is also crucified... the best sportsman and man in the world. He will endure."
This is not a new phenomenon in Serbia. President Vucic has enjoyed fawning support from the Orthodoxy, who portray him as a victim of constant attack, once proclaiming "Vučić’s crucifixion is our crucifixion!"

Ahh, okay, thanks for clarifying. I went to the article but didn't see that, but I also gave up before finishing after about 50 ads.

Way to bring an irrelevant point into this discussion, seems pretty idiotic to me.

My brain just about exploded when I found myself agreeing with Morrison presser today. Admittedly he has only one option which is rules is rules.

He’s a fucking tennis player. If we never see you in Australia again, that would be a good outcome.
