COMMUNIQUÉ: PROŠLOST JE NAŠA BUDUĆNOST

Dole moderni svet! Budite poslušni, inače šaljemo Bute Dobri...

One can often hear stories about the contemporary senselessness of the division into political left and right. That, they say, is no longer valid and now everything is the same and politics is viewed and systematized differently. Then you look a little and you see that the fact that there is no more left and right is only suggested by right-wingers. As it would be if National reconciledexclusively Chetniks. Why? Because only their side would benefit from it. The one who slaughtered and killed on behalf of the occupier can only be washed away in such an outcome. In the same way, the one who offers backward ideas of blood, soil, nation, religion and race can only disguise himself nicely and throw his garbage in some kind of stew of ideologies that will still have a strong taste of their ingredients. They will pick up a few ideas from the left to hide their primordial intentions even better - an authoritarian society with an eternal past and a life dedicated to tradition and servitude.

Big Tent is a fashionable name for political parties and movements that almost openly have no ideology, but their only purpose is to gain and stay in power. It's a catch-all game. SNS is literally a dictionary example of the Big Tent. But again, when you look at all that, the big-tenters are basically right-wing populists and they actually use their non-ideology for old right-wing values. Even if they don't want it, it always turns out that way. And ours really want to.

Novi Sad has been the plot on which the Big Tent has been set up for years. Its base and pillars are the SNS, and the approaches and other furniture are smaller parties that even have an ideology, but agreed to be in the tent because money and power accumulate in it. And as it happens, politics, even such, inevitably creates its own symbols over time.

Vizuelni simbol te i takve poltike u našem gradu, osvanuo je pre neki dan na čuvenom zidu prekoputa Vladičanskog dvora, kod Trga republike. Čuvenom po tome što je na njemu poražen i uništen jedan drugi simbol. Simbol slobode, kritike i kreativnosti. Zamenio ga je novi, u slavu tradicije, prošlosti, klanjanja autoritetu i malograđanštini. Krik protiv modernosti i slobode duha i tela.

Preko velike fasade imamo zaista lepo, majstorski oslikanu scenu sa kraja 19. i početka 20. veka. Period u kojem se, po mišljenju autora i naručilaca dela, srpsko društvo nalazilo u idealnom momentu i koji bi trebalo konzervirati i tako živeti zauvek. Bog na nebu, kralj na zemlji, domaćin u kući. Popa se pita za sve, svi su fini, žene su u kujni a na ulicu izlaze u pratnji majke. Voze se fijakeri. Gospodstvo jedno! To nam dočaravaju naši velikani tog doba.

Pa ti mrziš Jovu Zmaja i Đuru Jakšića i Kostu Trifkovića! – tako će ići glavni spin onih koji stoje iza ovoga. Naravno da ne mrzim. Oni su svi moji a ne vaši. Oni su moji a ne vaši istomišljenici iz onog doba. Oni su bili progresivci koji su, u skladu sa savremenim tendencijama svog vremena društvo pokušali da emancipuju i gurnu napred. Tada su ih nazivali ludim i opijenim belosvetskim trendovima. Da su živi danas, bili bi protiv konzervativne kulture i života u prošlosti. Oni su tad Vojvodinu hteli da izbave iz tamnice naroda kakva je bila crkavajuća Austrougarska imperija jer je to tad bilo progresivno i ispravno a vi ste se uhvatili samo za to, pripisujući im varvarski i vulgarni nacionalizam kakvim ste se vi zarazili od Miloševića, Crkve i SANU-a krajem osamdesetih godina 20. veka. Ekipa sa vašeg murala je bila nešto drugo. Njima biste tad slali Levijatane i Bute Dobre da ih prevaspitaju i vrate na pravi put.

Izvođači radova su gore pomenuti GONGO (vladina "nevladina" organizacija) Bute Dobri. Momci iz kraja koji vole srpstvo, fudbal a ne vole pedere i to sve tako brate hrvacko-šiptarsko. I lepo su vaspitani i dobri prema tebi ako si beli pravoslavni Srbin koji navija za ispravan klub.

The mural is an ideal fusion of SNS-LSV ideas about Novi Sad. They found each other again. For some, it's the old Novi Sad with no arrivals, and for others, Orthodoxy, the aspiration to Serbia and the world before communism, all on one wall. Oh, what a time that great people and events are loved for the (intentionally) wrong reasons.

The stamping of senseless murals is otherwise the backbone of the local authorities' idea of ​​the Capital of Culture and an excellent way to easily and quickly turn the EU funds intended for that into the profit of individuals and groups. Here's another connective tissue for all the actors of Novi Sad's political slush...
