My own take on Serbian propaganda

Before I start, I will explain and pledge few things to whoever will read this blog
I will keep this topic an open topic as my free time permits
I sincerely state that I hold no hate toward Serbian people even though most of them who personally met or encountered in Internet show an innate hate toward us Albanians
I never will generalize about them as they do toward us.
I will try to resolve if I could THE QUESTION
Why they hate us?
Until this moment that I write, I have not come up with a reasonable explanation why they hate us. I ask myself is our religion? is our culture? is our language? What else can be?
I will allow any comment even it can be derogatory toward anyone even though this can be ethically not acceptable to everyone to show that how deep this hate is. Unless we find out the real disease we cannot have a good prognosis.
Why I write in this blog
A few things happen in my life, which made me, involved with the Kosovo question.
First, right after the war of 1999, I worked in Kosovo for a few years and I am very familiar with its inhabitants, problems, costumes, and its physical territory.
Second, my wife is from Kosovo. (A section of what really happens to her family and friends while under Serbian rule even though she is tired of the subject).
Third, while working there I run in contact with the hate of Serbians toward Albanians. I also saw Albanian hate toward Serbs. This is not contestable
Fourth, I will continue my master degree for political science / history so this subject is close to my hart.
So here are

SIX PILLARS OF SERBIAN PROPAGANDA

I--VICTIMIZATION --- Serbs constructed themselves collectively as “VICTIMS” by
· Croats
· Albanians
· Bosnians
· Non- Serbs

II--DEHUMANIZATION OF DESIGNED “OTHERS” depicted other as

· Croats “Genocidal” or “Ustase”
· Albanians “Not fully human”
· Bosnians “Fanatical fundamentalists”
· Non- Serbs “Surplus”

This dehumanization made possible to killing or expulsion of “others”, as they are not worth living or it was not morally wrong to kill or exterminate them.

III—BELITTLEMENT Serbian’s enemies were beneath contemptible

IV—CONSPIRACY in which

Slovenians
Albanians
Croats
Vatican
Germany
Austria
USA
Bosnians
“Other States”
Are united to hurt Serbia and as a result
Belgrade Obstinate disregarding fundamentals for International law and as result
Serb heroic defiance to anti-Serb conspiracy

V—ENTITLEMENT Motto “All Serbs should live in same state”

Result
Part of Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo will be attached to Serbia

VI—SUPERHUMAN POWER AN DEVINE SANCTION

Serbs were told they were “super”. They were
· Best fighters on planet
· Stood up to the entire world
· Sanctioned by god himself
Because Lazar have chosen the heavenly kingdom and as result
Then Serbs were entitled to the earthy kingdom chosen by Lazar as their patrimony

Well I 'm finding an simple answer to my question why they hate us

I think they hate everybody here in Balkan not just us Albanians.

Kosovo -- what will happen

This is what the experts think will happen and in my opinion this version has a high probability of turning out to be what actually will happen

SERBIAN PROPAGANDA

SOCRATES: O Menexenus! Death in battle is certainly in many respects a noble thing. The dead man gets a fine and costly funeral, although he may have been poor, and an elaborate speech is made over him by a wise man who has long ago prepared what he has to say, although he who is praised may not have been good for much. The speakers praise him for what he has done and for what he has not done—that is the beauty of them—and they steal away our souls with their embellished words; in every conceivable form they praise the city; and they praise those who died in war, and all our ancestors who went before us; and they praise ourselves also who are still alive, until I feel quite elevated by their laudations, and I stand listening to their words, Menexenus, and become enchanted by them, and all in a moment I imagine myself to have become a greater and nobler and finer man than I was before. And if, as often happens, there are any foreigners who accompany me to the speech, I become suddenly conscious of having a sort of triumph over them, and they seem to experience a corresponding feeling of admiration at me, and at the greatness of the city, which appears to them, when they are under the influence of the speaker, more wonderful than ever. This consciousness of dignity lasts me more than three days, and not until the fourth or fifth day, do I come to my senses and know where I am; in the meantime, I have been living in the Islands of the Blest. Such is the art of our rhetoricians, and in such manner does the sound of their words keep ringing in my ears.
