If the president of Serbia were of an age corresponding to his behavior, the teachers would send him to the school psychologist every day, regularly invite his parents to school and schedule a parent-teacher meeting with the school principal, and they would also be obliged to alert the centers for social work and the prosecutors for juvenile delinquency. However, since he has long outgrown school age and risen to the heights of the ruling caste, he allows himself to treat teachers as “untouchables,” a caste unworthy of life, instead of as Brahmins, which in India teachers actually are. Meanwhile he has elevated members of the SNS caste to a different kind of untouchable status, rendering them immune to both legal and all other attacks.
That’s why it’s not surprising (but is, surely, worthy of criminal prosecution?) when he publicly mocks the dean of the Niš Faculty and makes jokes like the defendant from that joke who “poked” the victim a little in the stomach with a knife and she “tensed up and died”. It’s even less surprising and even more reprehensible when the police officially characterize the next knife attack, which, like the one after “Ribnikar,” happened the very next day, as: “She expressed her indignation using a knife.” Because, according to the new classification, physical attacks on those who are protesting are mere indignation, while the verbal indignation of those who are protesting is actually – an overthrow of the constitutional order.
In order to keep this bizarre order of things, the President of Serbia announced his protest against the protests. Protest 2.0, the Progressive (but definitely not lower-case progressive!) version, will apparently not be the biggest in history like the one in Jagodina and Sremska Mitrovica or Karleuša’s concert in Kragujevac, but it will last for three days and be every bit as much a mistreatment of the people.
It will be a celebration of the founding of the Movement for the People and the State or the Movement for the People or the Movement for Serbia or the Movement for the Future of Serbia, or whichever of these newly founded NGOs ends up being selected for that honor. Because non-governmental organizations are no longer anti-Serb like the denounced ones, and they are not insufficient for the defense of Serbian interests, like Kurti’s Union of Serbian Municipalities would be, which is probably why it wasn’t founded. Unless they found it now in Belgrade, like a citizens’ assembly, because why not copy that, as well? The protest walkers 2.0 have already started their march from Kosovo (which is probably better than when they went from here to Banjska in 2023) almost on the same day when the students started their bike tour. It’s just that students are pedaling to Strasbourg and these protesters are walking to Ćaciland. And their intentions are radically different.
Himmler, another textbook example of a man obsessed with status and position, had his own Naziland, as historians later called it, only it was a real castle and not a mockery made of tents in the city center. It is true that he was not an athletic type (which did not prevent him from leading the SS units) and he was a diligent student and chess player (which did not prevent him from being the head of the Gestapo), but – at least he built concentration camps for his opponents, not for his supporters.
