Declarations, forced or convenient, despite - the reality is as it is. On the words agreement and idyll, and all around - anger, hatred and the most disgusting sadism. This moment in Montenegrin society seems increasingly distant from any form of normality.
Maybe the reason, or at least part of the reason, is that we're so used to false speech that we've Googled that kind of fraud. When you see a stormtrooper from the nineties advocating European values today so naturally, without the slightest discomfort, you have to laugh, cynically or futilely, if it's not the same, choose for yourself. Or, the false speech of those who once blessed tanks, and today bless "democratic processes" in Montenegro. The false speech of politicians and other obsessed people... There is so much false speech around us that people become accustomed to everything. And that is a dangerous situation.
Look how everyone agrees in condemning intolerance and hatred. Well, what is it all about then? Nikšić looks like a powder keg... And what is the nature of that consent, if the reality created by those who consent is like this. How is this situation possible in pre-election Nikšić, this dangerous pre-election simmering?
Primitivism, no matter what jersey they put on, they always match each other perfectly.
Before the elections, a somewhat hysterical intonation is noticeable, which prevails in both the opposition and the position.
As similar as things may seem at times, it is unlikely that you can decipher/understand 1919 with the rhetoric of 2021. And let alone win the elections.
DPS has never acted as exotic as it does now in these events in Nikšić... That's why that party used to win. Others were exotic, they never were. Emotions are sometimes activated on what we call the exotic political register, but elections are not won. That's why everything on the eve of these elections in Nikšić seems a little unusual, to put it mildly, somewhat shifted. A DPS that doesn't look like itself. And those others, who look too much like themselves, still...
The monstrous attack on a young LGBT person was also unanimously, or almost unanimously, condemned by everyone. You can think how sincerely, but that's another story, also completely Montenegrin.
Perhaps this attack deserves more than condemnation. A thick explanation - what made such a thing possible.
Really, where is Montenegro going? If those who see the engraving of the cross only as a vivid pedagogical measure are possible?
Carving a cross is a ritual marking. A symbolic reference to "correctness" with the signature of the self-proclaimed guardians of tradition.
Which, by the way, also take a watch and some money. Here, for the Podgorica inquisitors to charge "only their hands" while they work "on the streets"...
This is one of the side products of the clericalization of Montenegrin society. Because no matter how sincere and even disgusted some voices of priests seem today, that "doctrine" has been released from the church. The problem is not only in the negative attitude (mostly expected for a church), but also in the fact that the way the church treats these issues is unworthy already at the level of the basic discourse. I cannot move away from qualifications like "disease", "unnatural" and the like... Therefore, any form of understanding and dialogue is impossible there.
There is no other way out of this kind of lying. Except in banality and evil. The street inquisition is already starting, as we can see. Then you get a doctor who talks about Chetniks as anti-fascists on public service. And that's usually just the beginning. Sometimes it is the most difficult with the simplest diagnoses.
Maybe it's all because of that: we tell lies at every step. We were brought up to speak like that. We believe it is right to speak falsely. Telling a lie is often proof that we are "high moral".
That's why everything becomes possible. Because Montenegro is too small for so much lying.
