    I’m going to be real, I don’t really understand what happened after Tito died other than it was a very violent race war and then the US started bombing cities and blew up a Chinese embassy on purpose.

    But I understand that Parenti supported the Serbians pretty heavily and most liberals at least say that they’re the ones who were doing a genocide.

      Wrong. Maybe do read his book. He didn’t took the side of Serbs any more than proving that the western propaganda blaming Serbs for everything was false.

        This feels like splitting semantic hairs. Regardless of the truth of the matter, if the prevailing wisdom is that a group committed genocide and you’re are arguing that they didn’t then I don’t see how you aren’t supporting them?

        I’m not trying to demonize Parenti here, I think he’s great.

          Parenti does not claim Bosniak Serbs did not comitted genocide, ffs why so many people just parrot this outright liberal take instead of actually reading the book?
