We love you Mira, your Jugoslavs. R.I.P

The smile and personality that lights up a room and all that met her.

I hope we aren't on the same trajectory as her motherland.

The U.S.? *Probably* not. From an outside observer (someone from her motherland), I get the impression the U.S. is very polarized right now, but it takes full scale propaganda of fear and hate in the media and everywhere to really make things go... dark. It also really helps if you can divide whole groups of people based on religion, nationality, race, etc. and I don't see a clear dividing line between U.S. citizens based on that. It's funny how little it takes for one to realize that the veneer of civilization is a really thin one, doesn't it? That this sort of thing can happen even to you and not some random, remote country. It's not as if the former Yugoslavia was a bunch of illiterate cavemen living behind the iron curtain (as some western people probably think). Yes, it was a socialist regime, but nothing like the Soviet bloc, it very much embraced the western culture and was pretty liberal. I mean, Mira's very first stage play in high school (which made her choose her ultimate calling), she performed in English.
