Tweeting

Tweeting - joy to the crazy, as the old Podgorica proverb says. Or so he said Sula Radov, who will know him.

If someone, after meeting a friend on the street and exchanging a dozen sentences, asked you to make a statement about what you discussed, it is very likely that your version and your friend's version would be somewhat different. Nothing strange. We all read spaces between words differently. In everyday conversation, you can't even be sure about commas, so it would be quite normal for your versions to differ somewhat.

However, in the precise language of politics, where encounters are not coincidences on the street, but deliberate strategic activities, this kind of misunderstanding can be a dangerous symptom. In the formal language of politics, even the gaps or the unsaid are semanticized to the extreme, so that kind of disagreement is unusual. And more than that. Maybe this confusion is also a precise sign? About the increasingly loud disagreement?

In recent days, an American diplomat Escobar he spoke with the most important actors of the domestic political scene. We learned that during the meeting with the president of the country, corruption was emphasized. As expected. No one will be surprised by such an accent. So the wording in the embassy's tweet that corruption was discussed did not surprise anyone too much. Although, she probably gave momentum to the bazaar's imagination.

But, a tweet arrives - denials (or clarification) from the President's office - as far as I understand, they are not satisfied with the intonation of the American announcement, and some possible meanings of what was said. So, it was a serious textological-political analysis. And a kind of own goal: an announcement that will only play out the twilight imagination...

Because, as they explained in the reaction, it was a long conversation, lasting an hour. And about Montenegro - ten minutes, may it be healthy. By the way, I am keenly interested in what they were talking about for fifty minutes that was not related to Montenegro? About youth? About NBA basketball, or about the pandemic, maybe about climate change? But let's forget that now, let it be left to your imagination, dear reader...

In the reaction, however, they do not deny that there was also talk of corruption, and that "from both sides". But, they emphasize, be careful, this is key: "without concern and not in a dramatic tone".

The perfect definition for the attitude of the DPS authorities towards corruption: without concern and not in any dramatic tone. They have been talking about corruption like that since they existed. That, for the sake of order... It should be like that, that's the European rhetoric... Really without concern, and really never in a dramatic tone. Maybe, heck, that's it, one can't help but think that too, maybe such a relationship was the ideal environment for the momentum of corruption?

We will recognize such manner at every step, it will be that this fraudulent logic is the key legacy of the DPS era.

Take the prime minister and his mythical antibodies. They just multiply, he says. It is a phenomenon, not only politically, but also medically, it seems. If we recognize a similar logic here, isn't this an example of thinking about the pandemic, "without concern and not in a dramatic tone". Perhaps it is the same with the pandemic as with corruption: such a relationship contributes to the momentum of the pandemic.

When I read the reaction from the President's office, I thought that, most seriously, Escobar would be called for - self-criticism. As in time - the second Tweet.

Or they are still amazed why Escobar did not agree to their game of faking key values. But that's another story, which they know very well and which scares them deeply.

After losing the elections, one might think that they are losing their minds. Or does it go in reverse order?

In short - Milo and Escobar cannot agree on what they were talking about. It must have been a meaningful conversation…

Eh, what's the context, what's the time: if someone had told you in the nineties that Milo had met with Escobar, no one would have had a dilemma as to what was being said there...
