Eternal Art Strike! Alytus 21-23
Со стороны участников группы Липовый цвет на этой конференции в течение 2-х дней происходила языковая ситуационистская забастовка с кодовым названием "bla-bla-bla - my identity". Результаты этой забастовки приведены ниже.
В конце-концов нашу презентацию зачитал наш литовский товарищ по тяжелой борьбе с капиталистами, журналистами, фашистами, расистами и т.д. Вот, что ему пришлось говорить и показывать:
We’ll speak mostly about colonization of the mind INSIDE Belarus, not outside.
The colonization of the mind is an intention of Belorussian authorities that during the reign of Lukashenko have become marginal, at all the levels and at all branches, to inculcate Belorussian people “post-Soviet syndrome”. It is expressed, above all, in unconditional agreement with all gestures of power structures (subordination to the “authority”), in the alienation of the people from real policy (we mean well-defined distinction between upper and lower classes: the upper are inaccessible and impose the view that they know better than people itself what to do and what people want; the policy is represented as dirty and complicated matter and in that case upper act as those who “have” to do this job, etc.). Also “post-Soviet syndrome” is expressed in the development of a provincial taste in art and life (at all levels of the authority, in ministries and departments work officials from villages, small cities with very low level of education, with well developed “culture of land” but no “culture of town”); “post-Soviet syndrome” is both in underestimated requirements to conditions of existence (the minimum wage, stable prices, etc.), in the imposition of Soviet memes “the main thing is peace”, “the enemies are around (such as the West and the USA)”, etc.
The colonization occurs at all possible levels: linguistic, visual, semantic (memetic).
