I can’t understand why a large part of the Croatian diaspora in Australia is still fond of the Ustaša regime. Imagine being a third or fourth generation Australian-Croatian, who grew up in a relatively tolerant country and yet you support a fascist ideology that killed hundreds of thousands of people because they had a different ethnicity or political opinion.
I get that their relatives fled to Australia due to the fear of being persecuted by the KPJ because they were part of this ideology. However, this was almost 80 years ago for fucks sake. Because of idiots like them a lot of people have a negative sentiment towards normal Croatians from the diaspora.

Isn't the same in Croatia as well? There are many references to Pavelic and, if I remember, players were punished for singing Ustashe's songs after matches.
It is a problem to some degree but nothing like with the diaspora in Australia where this ideology seems to be widespread. For instance, you wont find this level of Ustaša support in the Croatian diaspora in Austria or Germany which is also quite large.
4th Gen Aussie Croatians shaking in rage reading this lol.
You’ll never meet a dumber bunch of people unfortunately.
You can't "kick out ideology"... possibly the dumbest shit I've heard.
Incredible how every single Australian and Canadian Croatian sports club badge has the 1941 version of sahovnica. Doesn't seem ideologically different from a German sports club using Nazi colours.
That sounds like something you say right before saying something very very wrong.
