Now, if they defaced it in some deranged 'artistic' manner
Marina would be emailing petitions to save them from
brutal police tactics and the zene na crnom amalgam ud be up
in arms about the inability to express oneself freely.

"nationalistic"

Show me one people who arent,
[even though the nation state is a western invention],
besides 'artists' and other translucent identities.

Anything which defends its integrity and refuses
to compromise its ideals and prostitute itself
for some short term occident bs ideas re: life and happiness
is today branded 'fascistic, barbaric, terror'

In fact the tentacles of oppression, fascism, and outright terror are  
those
very people campagning + mindlessly spreading the seeds of 'freedom +  
democracy'
which pulverize individual and communal identities, the self and thus  
others,
into an unconscious, amorphous, meaningless blur ... not unlike the  
words 'freedom', 'democracy'
