Yugoslavia is dead for 30 years. The only thing that kept the country together against it's own people was a dictator.
And coming from comunism they never were such a developed state to begin with.
Isn't @Dostoevsky from there. He can probably paint us a more accurate picture of how the former Yugoslavian type of socialism worked for them.
Yugoslavia was a disaster. A country made based on thin air where the main idea was to kill each national identity and wipe the previous history. It made no sense at the very start. A country that was made because we said no to crazy Stalin and that was the main reason why some joined and left once the dust settled down.

Yeah, people were living quite good. Plenty of people had money while many people got an apartment (for nothing really, like a present). Money wise it's like westerns, as people could easily buy cars, travel etc. The whole thing was a farce, just look at Tito, they still try to identify his real identity lol. But he was a known figure and back in the day a Yugoslavian passport was worth more than gold, as you were getting green-lighted whereever you wanted to go as a highly respected country. To me that looked like a big social experiment. What people don't realize is that Yugoslavia was sitting a debt barrel the whole time. Just a while ago I was listening to an economist who said that we're supposed to keep paying for debt for further 20 years (and it was 40 years since Tito died) where we pay more than 200 million euros per year. Funnily, it was Serbia who pays majority of the stuff while other countries don't pay shit. But the whole idea of Yugoslavia was brainwashing. The censorship was insane. We had people go to jail who write against it. On one hand people were free but that only went to a certain point, so it was not an absolute freedom. Plenty of plays, pictures, movies, books were forbidden. Sadly, there are still plenty of people who wish Tito was alive and we had Yugoslavia. To me, that's totally insane. Yugoslavia was a perfect place for mediocrity and brainwashed people, somebody to stay quiet and live life as they were told to. It was not a perfect place, especially for the elite and people with brains.

I'm not sure I've encountered someone who's said Yugoslavia was/is amazing, but America is a disaster. That sounds like quite the stretch to me, especially considering one is dead and buried.

I thought for sure it was a joke. I still think it is a joke.

Can it really be so simple to hack a twitter account? Nowadays everything has two-step verification.
Not an IT person but I think they guessed and trialanderror'd it rather than hacked twitter. And in 2016 2FA wasn't that much of a thing.

The hackers said they found Trump's password because of a LinkedIn data breach involving a database of 117 million username and passwords. The password 'yourefired' - the catch phrase for Trump's reality show The Apprentice - turned out to also work on his Twitter account. "They were shocked when it worked," Janssen said. "The Dutch knew they were potentially in trouble, because it could be interpreted as a cyber attack on a presidential candidate."
