expressing emotional externalisations both in creating a memorial as well as in commemorating,<br />
i.e. viewing, commenting, interacting with it. This is quite inconceivable in offline memorials,<br />
apart from participating at highly orchestrated commemorations, or graffitiing a memorial during<br />
the night. Hence, it can be argued that the immediacy of remembering is also facilitating a more<br />
active/intimate engagement (if not necessarily ‗civilised‘ or absolutely decent) of the<br />
‗rememberer‘ with the past, present and future. I am aware this may be somewhat speculative,<br />
precisely in view of the fact that thought in DME is fragmented ―into ever smaller bits, bits that<br />
can be distributed and sampled, even ingested and enjoyed, but that in the glut of multiple<br />
circulating contributions tend to resist recombination into longer, more demanding theories.‖ 304 Or<br />

bingo!!! you just won a ticket to bleiburgXD<br />
Hehe...well done comrade...the little one can finally join his pals ustasha.hehe<br />
One more thing, tiny, a useful story for you...you know my granddad had a brother<br />
ustaša(there were 6 partisans and one ustaša)...and when he was killed at bleiburg his<br />
brothers thought, although they were sorry for them: well he deserved it better a dead<br />
brother than an ustaša....you see you‘re favourite...it seems I caught some of that thinking<br />
blame it on me but that‘s the way it is...as far as I‘m concerned it‘s a shame that the<br />
partisans didn‘t finish them all off.hehe<br />
Respect!!!<br />

and under videos!) due to repeated or severe violation of community guidelines, although SOTUzakon‘s comments<br />
are not far behind.<br />
