The Wages of Nationalism

Damir Marusic

Here’s what you get when you nurture national grievances as a means of reaching political consensus: a bunch of semi-fascist youth busting up your city when geopolitics doesn’t go your way.

The Serbian youth attacked the American and Slovenian embassies, harassed the car bearing the Brazilian ambassador as he was leaving Serbian government buildings, and heaved stones and firecrackers at police and anyone with a camera.

Charming.
