I hear these days that someone's presence, unclear ideology and organization compromise the activities and demands of an informal group. You are sutra.I know from experience and I claim that this is not true and that those who say this are unconsciously and consciously sabotaging the activities of this group.
It consciously sabotages the threatened interest, which is the government. Clearly and expectedly. It unconsciously sabotages the authoritarian consciousness of the so-called supporters, which seeks authority in every situation and gives itself the right to judge and evaluate someone's actions in accordance with its own value system.
The goal (request) that has been set is ignored and the group itself becomes the focus of attention for identification and criticism. In the story, what is done becomes less important than the impression it leaves on others. This form of self-deception, especially among “seen men” in Montenegro, is expected, but the presence of this phenomenon in the public space is astonishing and worrying. The lack of self-reflection and self-criticism of such people is a threatening element in all actions that strive for justice and changes in society. You are sutra. it provokes this awareness through its actions.
Authoritarian consciousness manifests itself in the function of paternalism in which the great teach the small, the old teach the young, the powerful teach the powerless, in which those in positions of power (in the media, universities, politics, civil society) give themselves the right to be the arbiters of the situation. They consider lack of obedience a personal insult.
If it were not so, all those who today "advise" and "hunt" undesirable persons at protests would know that they themselves missed the opportunity, and they had it in the process of gaining independence and later, to change the direction of political action and the development of the consciousness of society in Montenegro. Most of those who are "smart" today stood behind Milo Đukanović, believing that he would achieve their goals and desires, while he only changed his point of view and continued on his own. One could not ask more of a man, but from the people who put him at the forefront of the fight for the state - it was. It could not be expected that they would conform very quickly and easily, forgetting about the fundamental values of the society to which they aspired and so quickly relativizing all the injustices committed before that towards society, and towards themselves.
Opportunism and conformity were the washed-up face of public figures in Montenegro, while corruption and crime formed the axis of the built system. The new government embraced the method, adding revenge. That is why it does not matter who personally comes to the protests it organizes. You are sutra.. Anyone who supports their demands should be welcome. At protests, NUMBER is important, the willingness of all those who want to stand in the gazebo is important. You are sutra.. The demands are as important as the "independence" that those who fought for it, along with the leader to whom they handed over power - lost. And we should not "cry over spilt milk", we should only reconsider our own position and the process that took place today.
Who is ready to do it, you know by watching the efforts You are sutra. (or anyone who protests) that he contributed to the fact that today the street is the only place of freedom (much more limited by regulations than before) from where young people are starting for justice in Montenegro. That is their legacy instead of the built institutions and democracy. That only place must not be lost through paternalism. Comparing this group with any other is violence, asking them to define themselves ideologically is an even greater degree of violence; asking them to listen to more experienced people is hypocritical. It is simple, the group has made demands so you should be on the street behind those demands or stay home. If the NUMBER this time prevailed towards You are sutra. the efforts of saboteurs (conscious and unconscious) would be null and void.
So, it's not WHO comes, but WHAT. You are sutra. seeks. I believe that for a start it is quite enough for the NUMBER to be so large that the first condition is fulfilled, that one party member is left without a position. That would be a sign that there are no untouchables and that taking to the streets has a result. That would be a sign that we are ready to subordinate our personal interest and “moral and intellectual greatness” to one small task of responsibility. It is an impossible task, and it is also not fair, to You are sutra. It is not enough for people in the system to do their job, arrogantly judge and obediently hide behind the backs of authority as they have done so far.
The time calls for a greater degree of personal autonomy. You are sutra.? by its name and existence it raises a question. It claims nothing. An answer is sought. The removal of one person from office is a sign that an answer is possible. That is enough to start with.
