Rebellious students and people can throw a few oysters, but they cannot be really "violent". Because Serbia has long been in the mode of self-defense against the regime's violence, the one that destroys and wipes out lives
The "terrorists" were, just like that, beating the police and wanted bloodshed. They have been harassing the people for seven months! They use "agency tricks" and that will be a chapter in the book on defeating the colored revolution which has already experienced a "debacle"!
That's what the president said Aleksandar Vučić, between announcements of the Pakovraće-Požega road section, Air Serbia flights to India and reports on wheat and corn yields.
In short, Vučić was saying the same thing he's been saying for the past thirteen years - progress is unstoppable and general, and some haters may be able to slow it down, but they can't stop it. In the end, Serbia wins!
Vučić "knew that they would engage in violence". He even got the time almost to the minute.
But let's see what this violence is and when it started. Not whether in this or that place someone hit the police shield with a stone first, or they pulled out batons and tear gas first.
Rather, when and how the violence really started.
Eternal power as an ideology
It was thirteen and a half years ago, maybe it was exactly 21:42 on election night when Vučić decided that - if he seized power, if he played on Dacić's cunning and when he cleaned up Toma Nikolić - he would never let power out of his hands again. What it costs costs.
From then until today, it is the only ideology, the only program and the only guide. Never leave. Because the toothless government feeds that type of personality, and the pockets are full.
In just a few years, let's say when Vučić became president, the idea of eternal power was so arrogantly implemented that a normal departure from power would not have been possible. It would actually be going to Zabela or to exile, in the trunk of a car.
That is why every piece of power, every stolen dinar and every sin is defended - with violence. Let's see what it's like.
All roads are blocked.
For thirteen years, progressive directors have been handing out jobs according to the party handbook, blackmailing, harassing, forcing them to go to meetings with whips, and leaving families without bread.
Thirteen years of paramilitary regime journalists slander and slander everyone who thinks for themselves, draw targets, destroy lives, cretinize society, while the generals of these paramilitaries become richer and richer.
For thirteen years, the mafia has held every built square and every meter of asphalt, tender-dahi in the ground with the regime, stealing from the people even at the competition for the education of children and teachers after the massacre in "Ribnikar".
For thirteen years, people have been dying, drowning in floods, helicopters falling, footage from toll booths disappearing, canopies breaking bones, all because of the insatiable desire of those unworthy to rule.
Thirteen years - isn't that violence on violence? - citizens of Serbia cannot freely inform themselves and choose the government. Everything that is written on paper (the paper is the Constitution) is worth nothing. All roads are blocked.
Self-defense has begun.
And since the student rebellion began, countless people were arrested and beaten in the justice of God, their families did not know where they were for days. A tented favela sprung up in front of the Assembly, which records the territory and prevents people from walking around their city.
And on Vidovdan, the police brutally beat even in front of the cameras, let alone the haustors.
Anyone who manages to ignore all of that and sneer like petty-bourgeois over some thrown oyster and call it "violence" has not understood anything.
Students, citizens, the people are in self-defense against a vicious regime that will only become more brutal. He will be holy one by one, wherever he can reach, because Vučić cannot forgive anyone who does not love him.
And to no one who thinks that his rule must not be eternal.
That is why any resistance, even desperate, is morally justified. Moreover, it is necessary. There is no virtue in peacefully going to the slaughter, in peace with the eternal power and eternal violence of the regime.
At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
The four independent members of REM are an example of perseverance and civic responsibility. Rodoljub Šabić even, upon leaving the premises of REM, after the sentencing of the Informer, experienced that the Essenes insulted him, hit him with their hands and feet. But that too will soon be over
Vučić pardoned the batterers and Dijana Hrkalović. The election winners should abolish the sultan's power that allows one man to run afoul of the entire judicial system
Davor Matura's ALTA empire is the transplanted heart of the corrupt regime of Aleksandar Vučić, who was defeated in the October 25 elections. From ALTA Bank, roads lead directly to the top of the progressive government.
Things are unfolding at an astonishing speed, as astonishing as the speed with which Vucic conceded a convincing defeat. Impatience is understandable, but misplaced
