In the Kafkaesque corridors of a European castle

And in the religio-political text of the "French proposal" there is everything that users need, whether it is for the needs of those who need to be convinced of the priceless "values" that, like ripe grapes, they will enjoy in the end from the long and arduous road, or is it for the needs of those who will abuse it for the smooth and completely legal rape of the young Macedonian candidate "who has never known a man's bed", in the endless corridors of the European castle.

The third decade of the 21st century increasingly resembles the second decade of the 20th. And then the planet was ruled by liberal capitalism, and then the people of Europe, spoiled by the long period of peace and the flourishing of human invention, science and technological progress, could not foresee the looming world war that was darkening before them. You only need to browse the front pages of the prominent newspapers from the European capitals, how in 1913 they loudly abhorred the atrocities of the bloody Balkan peoples, who were slaughtered for territories in the Second Balkan War. Balkan barbarism was mostly explained as a consequence of cultural primitivism which - unlike civilized Europe - reigned for centuries in the Balkans.

Europe neither then, nor today, could understand that it was months away from a war in which it would itself produce so many barbaric horrors and barbaric military slaughters and horrors, compared to which the Balkan Wars would resemble a village wedding brawl of drunken in-laws.

And then - as today - the war accelerated the radicalization and fanaticism of policies, which would then inevitably give birth to the political religions and totalitarianisms that marked the century. Emilio Gentile writes about these political religions, when he explains that the First World War was the most fruitful impetus for the sacralization of politics, and mostly by intensifying the cult of the nation, which in turn served the politicization of historical religions as well. Thus this process has ensured that almost all the countries at war sanctify their homelands and go into holy war against the Antichrist, claiming that God is on the side of their soldiers to lead them to victory for the salvation of civilization and humanity. "The war itself is interpreted as a great apocalyptic and revival event that takes place according to God's will, thus legitimizing violence for the victory of Good."

The fanaticism with which Europe went to war with Russia, apparently as a political entity within NATO and not the other way around, together with the religious rhetoric – such as military propaganda always uses – is too similar to the events of a century ago. Especially when in such a geopolitical environment, in a heavy, leaden cabinet that precedes every world war, we receive from Europe the "French proposal" for a framework for starting and conducting accession negotiations for membership in the Union, in the form and with accompanying rhetoric that makes the proposal "an offer that cannot be refused."

Both the text of the "French proposal" and the prevailing rhetoric that shrouds this diplomatic triumph of the European Gate like a sulphurous fog are, in their essence, religious texts. On the one hand - if the approach scenario from the proposal is accepted - we enter the safe zone of "European values", a zone in which we only need to be good and diligent students, who will never doubt the sanctity of the values ​​for the achievement of which any cost is too small. On the other side – if we are so stupid as not to accept it – is the abyss of the barbaric environment that lurks around Europe, and the uncertain future of a soft state lost in the apathy of the shaken continental geopolitical scene that is threatened by the Asian hordes.

In such circumstances, should we even analyze the text of the "fantasia proposal" and look for strengths and weaknesses in the Macedonian national interest? I think it is no longer necessary. Not only because it is a religious text in which there are no facts or concepts that can be connected to reality, but also because the discussion of the text of the proposal is of a missed subject, and because it is already seriously overdue.

However, I couldn't stand it again and I'm starting to explain this religious text in general, that is, in an attempt to explain that everyone can read what they want in it. In the specific case, the Macedonian salvation can be read in the text, as well as the apocalypse. It is the same case as with the Bible. In the Holy Scriptures billions of people believe that the moral foundations of civilization are to be found. God's commandments have been repeated countless times, which determine the silhouette of human morality and which are practically the greatest values ​​of Christianity, just as European values ​​are feared these days.

Elem, in the second book of the Bible called Exodus, the second half of the ten commandments, where it is said: 5. Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live well and live long on earth; 6. Thou shalt not kill; 7. Do not commit adultery; 8. Do not steal; 9. Do not bear false witness against your neighbor; 10. Do not desire anything that is another's; as well as the famous commandment from the Gospel according to Matthew (22.39): Love your neighbor as yourself; these are the commandments that constitute the glorious armature of Judeo-Christian moral values, which in the meantime have also become general civilizational values ​​in whose defense people should lay down their lives.

But in the same holy text, in the Bible, in the fourth book of Moses (30.31) a prescription is given for the God-ordered (and forgiven in advance) genocide and plunder of the tribe of Midian that had hindered the tribe of Israel in their campaign to the promised land , in which almost all the previously quoted moral norms are violated: "As the Lord commanded Moses, they killed all the males (...) and the women and children (...) and all their cattle and all their flocks, and all they seized their property; they burned all their cities (…) and all their villages with fire." But after the work was done, the army of Israel reported to the commander-in-chief Moses about what had been done, and he got angry in righteous fury: "Moses got angry and asked them: why did you leave all the women alive?" And now kill all the male children, kill all the women too, (…) and all the female children, who have not known a man's litter, leave them alive for yourselves." It is difficult for a person not to comment here on this complete system of moral values ​​that is established and repeated several times in the Holy Scriptures as the most legitimate genocidal and predatory method for the successful establishment of a state, which the Judeo-Christian churches do not so often celebrate as a fundamental Christian moral value. , but they often used it throughout history.

From the biblical example, I think it becomes clearer how religious texts are written and interpreted and then implemented, regardless of whether it is a so-called teleological text. historical religions or for a contemporary religio-political text, i.e. a proposal for a framework for negotiations. They have everything that users need, whether it is for the needs of those who need to be convinced of the priceless "values" that, like ripe grapes, they will enjoy at the end of a long and arduous journey, or it is that for the needs of those who will abuse it for the undisturbed and completely legal rape of the young Macedonian candidate "who has never known a man's bed", in the endless corridors of the European castle.

PS The debate about "identity" is completely meaningless in a country whose main square echoes with thirty-meter monuments of Alexander and his father, and the perpetrator of this identity distortion of the nation is the main opposition party that screams the loudest in defense of the values ​​it itself has destroyed. The debate about the "language" is pointless in a country whose state institutions in their official texts use letters in italics that do not exist in the Macedonian orthography, but in the Bulgarian one. The real debate is about the European Union itself, which has not shown an iota of concern that one of its members openly expresses territorial aspirations towards a country that is a candidate for membership. And, even, it legitimizes those aspirations in the negotiation framework, of course in a refined European way, in the interest of higher geopolitical goals of its unification and expansion. What is the candidate "who has never known a man's bed" looking for in a rapist's club? But like I said, it's too late.
