Today we had demonstrations proper. Though every sane individual is against violence, there is ample evidence throughout history people resort to it when they are - hungry.
It is difficult to explain to a foreigner what this is about. The war, never a question of black and white, engendered half-wits whose prerogative it was to steal, under the auspices of the new president - who was the first to start. And now, the issues exarcebated by the incompetence of administration, moreover - administration geared at incompetence, there is no money left. Only debts. This, in a nutshell, is what's going on.
But though I am against violence, I am not against just revenge. I really do believe property should be seized, the ruling party outlawed, prominent people put on trial. People who do nothing and receive their salaries must be fired and petty mechanics of local power shamed.
Having no illusions of grandeur either, I don't quite think the West deals with us - we are more of an isolated backwater. However, their politicans tacitly championed HDZ during these twenty years. It takes one to know one. When I was a kid, I used to think somebody must rescue us beneath all those shells. Recently I saw a movie with Bill Murray starring as a crooked mayor. The kids in the film discover somebody is stealing food and, of course, rush to tell him.
Somewhat older now, one would feel tempted to write All Quiet on the Western Front, if only it hadn't already been tried.
