Poison and fog production

When adverse selection is implemented, things heat up and trample everything in front of them. The worst are replaced by even worse, loyalist super-loyalists and then ultra-loyalists. For the obscure GONGO, who is the subject of this article, this is the right time, since the regime has taken off all the masks and revealed the natural beauty of Freddy Krueger. CZDS is in its world what Kričak is in the police world - an extreme that is becoming the norm

Injustice is built into the system

Without understanding the evil that has been done in our immediate history in the last three, four decades, it would be partial and hypocritical. It's too late for what happened six months ago, everything now is compensation. If we do not come to a serious confrontation with the past, with a strong program of creating a non-violent society, the changes will have a short life. And in that change, the parents of the murdered children could be ambassadors of the normalization process of this society. They are ready for that role and it would be good if the students also included them in their debates, to understand what happened and what are the ways of coping
