Bass music[edit]

I’ve always been partial to dark, hectic, techno. Ace ⁱ⁹ 10:09, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm mostly into dubstep, but sometimes I listen to dnb, house, trap etc.ASerb (talk) 11:48, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Damn - it's such a shame you listen to awful electronica. I have an epic record collection of classic techno - records from late 80's (Underground Resistance, Jeff Mills, some Derrick May and Kraftwerk) up to mid 90's Adam Beyer, Ben Sims and the like. 3 crates of classic electronica vinyl - how it all started. Not sure what it is worth but I have some real rarities. But I go darker now. Try this...

Anti-Serbian propaganda debunked[edit]

I just watched this YouTube documentary that I found intriguing. Obviously you will view as pro-Serbian and dismiss it (and me because I'm a Serb). It has kind of a nuanced view on political clusterfuck from a perspective of a Serbian YouTuber. It is also critical of exaggerated negative portrayal of Serbs in mainstream media. The premise is that the capitalist powers engaged in divide and conquer tactics to destroy Yugoslavia. On the other side, it also features claims about DU causing cancer and excerpts from Weight of Chains 2 and Michael Parenti's speech.

Anti-Serbian propaganda debunked

I just wanted to share this video and discuss.ASerb (talk) 17:42, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

I have minimal position on that, knowing minimal about it, but some may find the featuring of Parenti dubious given his other stances. Though I've found some Parenti rhetoric elsewhere to be moving (e.g. about Cuba and the state providing healthcare to rural people there), even despite his factual errors; his Blackshirts and Reds book also emphasizes some of the horrors that followed the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and how the Nazis were propped up by big business. He's probably better as a speechmaker than a historian, and especially his apparent association with Grover Furr is incredibly questionable. Again, knowing very little about Serbia or the war, this is all I feel qualified to comment on. Chillpilled (talk) 17:50, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Dubstep[edit]

Don't ever share Dubstep with me again. I am a purist when it comes to electronica. From Kraftwerk, to Hardfloor, The Advent, to Jeff Mills, Ben Sims and Drumcell. Mary Velo and Shifted. Dubstep is awful - a bastardisation of techno and D&B. Ace ⁱ⁹ 22:59, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

I shared you only the techno tracks of that artist, you braindead purist.

Also, you don't even know the history of dubstep. And dubstep, techno and d&b are DISTINCT genres. A Serb (Talk) 05:31, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Wait - are you serious? If so… oh dear…Ace ⁱ⁹ 07:19, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Bowling?[edit]

Do Serbian people obsess themselves with bowling, by chance? IDK, I am just being cheeky. Blakegripling ph (talk) 03:10, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

No, not at all. 🇷🇸 Serbian Arbiter (What would you have your arbiter do?) 12:34, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

That's a real shame, I thought you guys are known for pestering their cousins into coming along with them to the nearest bowling alley. Blakegripling ph (talk) 05:41, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Topic removed from the Bar[edit]

Why is the topic about Serbian views on Albanians removed from the Bar? I wanted to ask if any of what they say is true. 🇷🇸 Serbian Arbiter (What would you have your arbiter do?) 23:57, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

you asked if the clearly derogatory and xenophobic views on albanians were true. that they are primitive tribal people, that albanian immigrants are wrong uns and that they should be ethnically cleansed. you are asking if its true that essentially they are a bunch of backward savages that they scum and that they all should be killed. one does not normally need to ask if such things are true when it just xenophobic abuse. it reads like like jaqing off, like you not really asking if its true, just making an excuse to say albanians are trash. albania is a very poor country, with a very troubled recent history. im sure there is likely cultural norms that might jar with non albanians. im sure there there are regional and historical rivalries with their neighbours that are fuelling distrust and conflict. is it true they should all be murdered? come on now. AMassiveGay (talk) 01:42, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

It's very hard to think that this sort of question was asked in good faith. You wanted to know if we think that Albanians are a bunch of Huns that deserve an ethnic cleansing. No, we don't. As I said on the edit summary where I reverted your edit, I won't edit war over it, but I strongly recommend that you do not put that topic there again. GeeJayK ^{Where all evil dwells} _{Where every lie is true} 12:23, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

No, I think you step in as a mod to keep that shit off the Bar if it gets put back. That has no place on RationalWiki.
