Since yesterday, I’ve been reading disappointed comments on social media about how students, supposedly, as of Vidovdan, have dangerously veered to the right, how they have turned into clerofascists, Zavetnici, and the like.
Each of these critical phenomena (because critics are, well, something else), ominous birds and black ravens, found something convenient to peck at.
Some were bothered by the poster with the sentence “We have something to face Lazar with,” others by the melody of the song “Hriste Bože” from the movie “Battle of Kosovo.” It doesn’t matter that it was written by the great Ljubomir Simović – what bothered their ears was that the “Red Berets” sang it.
A third was annoyed by a student in a šajkača who spoke about how Serbian knights broke through to Murat’s tent, and how Obilić killed the sultan, and then overdid it by quoting Bishop Nikolaj.
The fifth had a personal problem with Momčilo Trajković and Professor Milo Lompar, the sixth with the appearance of the heroes from Košare.
Most of the mentioned critics come from the ranks of the so-called democratic, liberal corpus, but miraculously are unable to absorb even the first and basic postulate of democracy – that we are not all the same.
But the smaller problem in this case is the fundamental ignorance and non-practice of the concepts of tolerance and democracy; something else is more concerning – a lack, and in some, a total absence of intelligence.
Intelligence capable of understanding the ideas and tactics of our above-average student body, as if we didn’t give birth to them, and which is wisely, skillfully preparing us for elections (which will come faster than we think) by striving to put us all, right and left, green and red, under one flag and against this evil.
And along the way, all in good time, it combines the Kosovo cycle (on Vidovdan, when else!) and the cycling trip to Strasbourg, Milo Lompar and Cervantes, Ljuba Bandović and Goran Marić…
And it does it so masterfully, perfidiously yet positively, that sometimes I catch myself laughing out loud at their antics, alone, in an empty room.
And so: My dear critics, defeatists, morally weakened… Relax, don’t gloom and don’t interfere. If you really feel sick, then take your goats for a walk around the neighborhood, like in that brilliant photograph by Zoran Jevtic published by Reuters.
Everything is going as it should 😉
Pumpaaaaj!
