THE COSMOS UNDER THE SACH

Njegoši on the water

The problem with our politicians (both in power and opposition) is that they are not even aware that they are producing kitsch, but are convinced that they are unparalleled in everything.

Whoever sails on a ship, even a small one, goes faster than the one in a canoe!

Whoever thought that after the name "Hand of Justice" the embarrassments would stop, was sorely mistaken. We will name the patrol boats "Petar I Njegoš" and "Petar II Njegoš". Year after year, they rush into bigger and bigger blunders and embarrassments with monuments, naming squares, streets, and now even patrol boats.

"Even the most modern equipment does not renounce its roots", what kind of rhyme is this in the subtitle of the bombastic news about the naming? What kind of epic fantasy is this, the connection between spiritual authority and patrol boats? Of course, every soldier, policeman and man will eventually call these patrol boats "Unit" and "Two" because the situation, speed and language dictate it.

It's fine to give strong names, after great historical figures, but shouldn't naming be handled by someone whose job it is, someone who will conduct public opinion research, and should the branding job be offered to experts (because naming is, among other things, part of state branding because the coat of arms is attached to that name)?

I can't wait to see if someone has thought of creating a stylized image of our Petrov Njegoš, the ace and the deuce, so that there will be a show program there too. Politicians intertwine personal promotion with the promotion of the state. That's the catch.

Njegoš cannot be a patrol ship, Njegoš can only be an aircraft carrier, but since we have neither a carrier nor the aircraft for that carrier, there is no great need to tarnish the name by sticking it on everything. Njegoš is a premium brand, and that symbolizes top quality, design, importance, prestige and resonance.

Njegoš is not a sticker to be stuck on by anyone. On the other hand, Boka is rightly complaining, because numerous sailors who changed the history of maritime affairs throughout Europe and the world are being ignored, and Montenegro still hasn't heard (enough) about them.

If anyone is interested, and everyone should be interested, there is an exceptional series called "Boka Pomorska" and if they are lucky, it would be a project backed by the state. Although, maybe it's better that it isn't, at least now, because what they do help with is usually unwatchable.

"Kits that knows it's kitsch is no longer kitsch," he argued. kundera. The problem with our politicians (both in power and in opposition) is that they are not even aware that they are producing kitsch, but are convinced that they are unparalleled in everything. Our political scene screams with complacency and ignorance, from Europe USA, through the Democrats, and all the way to ES and URA. Let's not lie, DPS and DF at least know where they are hollow, so they cover it up or work on it, which is why they are holding on well while the others are drowning more and more in the mud they themselves produce.

"Concentric circles of stupidity and ignorance/ ... /And how the essence of deceit was brought beyond recognition," he sang. ŠtulićWe are now looking, it is clear exactly what he meant, what he saw and predicted.

It's important that our politicians play with cities, adding names here and there, as they please.

Luckily, the main street in Podgorica has the most beautiful name in the world, so simple and resonant: “Freedom Street”. Because if they could, they would rename it too, and who knows what they would think of to add. “Democratic Street”. “Freedom USA 2”. “Left Hand of Justice”.

But regardless, the only correct move would be to name at least one ship “False Emperor Šćepan Mali”.
