We killed young Victoria

We killed it, allowing such an "operating system" to be created. By never, realistically and truly did we change it. Instead of working together and protesting against the fundamental problems, we as the greatest primitives were divided.

When I tell you that we were dead before we were born in this hole in the ground, state-locked in 25.713 square kilometers, you do not believe me. Or, even worse, we are destined to live in hell, a life that can be called, of course, but not just life in the full, true sense of the word. And when I tell you that Facebook is just a chicken coop-platform on which we hysterically roar and giggle, pouring out our anger, rage, rage and frustration, while not taking anything substantial to change things, you mean I're exaggerating.

Those who stood in the way of our European integration (the eastern neighbors "brothers"), have a proverb in which they say "every miracle in three days, let us have one". According to this proverb, we seem to be "the same people". And with us, every "miracle" lasts one day, not even three. The latest horrific, catastrophic death case of the young Victoria from Radovis shows us the same tendencies: a hysterical public on FB, a court-prosecutor system that is known in advance to bring punishment, at least scandalous and inappropriate for the crime, as in the past cases of pedestrians being run over at a pedestrian crossing, and painful forgetfulness of the same. Destroyed families and even worse (young) lives, no one will return. In the land of doom.

Hysterical hatches in the FB chicken coop!

When a week or two ago, the capital Skopje was again climbed to the shameful, deserved first place, as the most polluted city in the world, a close relative of the immediate family, listening to the news on TV, just commented: if we are a normal people, now we should go out five hundred thousand, without party-political divisions in front of the Assembly, and to burn it. When I conveyed this position to a close friend of mine, who was politically active in public and political discourse, he only briefly stated: it is the right and correct position. Back in 2010, when I first went to Switzerland, one of the best and most orderly countries in the world in every possible aspect of human, urban and cultural life, I faced at least a culture shock. Unscientific about how it works there (as it should be and is normal for every human being), I was amazed. Interestingly, when I was crossing the street on foot, as a native of Skopje, "normally" I stopped, giving preference to cars. From there, at a considerable distance and distance, the driver of the car sees me stopping and having to cross the street and is already slowly stopping. My cousin laughed at all those "examples", sincerely from the heart, because the whole situation was atypical and uncharacteristic, telling me that "there is no chance, not even in madness" for a traffic participant (driver) to miss a pedestrian on street, especially at a pedestrian crossing, only if he is not a Balkan man. But, miraculously, with the "honor of the exceptions", our Balkans also respect the traffic rules and regulations and all the positive legal norms, because they know that they are in the most orderly country where there is order, law and order. And that there are no "connections", that is, regardless of your ethnic, social, religious or any other affiliation (it is not a party affiliation), you will be held accountable by law, no matter what.

And what can we do now, other than take out all the anger on social media? Will that change something significantly in the mental composition, the way of being, functioning and living in one of the Balkan parts of hell called Macedonia, for some and north forward !? Defending the name, in these thirty years and again the identity and the language now in the dispute with the eastern neighbor, we have lost the state. In every sense of the word. Why is that country for us (territorial community, sustainable and inscribed on the map of the world - UN), when in practice we live in an improvisation, a darker village, where seemingly on paper there are laws, rules and regulations, institutions of the system, which should they implement those rules and regulations, and in reality no one respects them and the institutions do not sanction it or give mild sanctions, which confirm the meaninglessness of the existence of the state.

In the unbearable ease of wandering, ahuman, primitive and cave living in this country, more than half a million citizens have permanently moved to the western cities and countries where they can live a normal life like any human being, in a system in which there is order, law, and regulations you follow to live as a HUMAN. The rest of us, who are left in the ruined hole, wake up every day and fall asleep in hell, listening to such horrible and tragic news and events, which never cease to be the last. Until the next ones. It is an honor and a privilege to "manage" in this country. That is, to bypass them, to disobey the laws, to consciously break and cheat them. Then in the eyes of the primitives you are a "law", a mangup or a man who "got along". They and such characters that we have idealized over the decades, now run over on foot, in jeeps bought with suspiciously acquired (criminal) money, with an ego that has gone up to heaven, thinking that "no one can do anything to them", ie. that they are above the state. Whatever is written is in vain. Ink on paper was consumed as much as all four oceans together to alert, to appeal, to criticize, to point out, to argue, and yet it is not worth even five bucks. I do not know, I am no longer smart, especially in such tragedies, what to say and write. Maybe the time has come to "hide" (extinguish) this country, because like this, forgive me, at least I do not need it. Or give someone a protectorate. Because after all, we have proved and shown that we are neither capable nor worthy to have and manage it.

It is our responsibility to get to this point!

We killed Victoria. Allowing the creation of such a "system" of functioning. By never, realistically and truly did we change it. Instead of functioning together and protesting against the essential problems, regardless of ethnic divisions, social and class divisions, educational predispositions, we, as the biggest primitives, divided into party camps and for every forced protest we took to the streets party-instructed, encouraged by the party ”, in order to protect its (party) interests, and thus the selfish-personal ones. In the normal world, citizens organize and protest against a shared cause (climate change, denuclearization, anti-vaccination even, if you will), but they are not guided by a party center of power to take to the squares and streets, but ideologically honestly. believe it, even if it is wrong according to your dioptric views of the problem. Have we ever done it or will we do it ?! No, of course. So keep quiet, or scream on Facebook. Until another horrible tragedy like this. In which you can be, or, God forbid, someone close to you. When the bear plays at your gate, it's too late for everything. Until then, pour anger and rage on social networks, which will pass in a day, and for real action and pressure on the institutions of the system, do not even think.
