Prologue

SHOULD WE BELIEVE OUR EYES?
Mistrust

This is progressing. It’s clawing its way across cemeteries, through sports halls and schools turned into hospitals, passing by desolate battlefields of fixed matches, between lampposts where death notices replaced campaign posters. It’s sweeping through demented dwarfs’ poisonous media, from infernal scientific laboratories, through forged statistics and secret agreements, marginalized reports on indebtedness, from liturgies under masks and virtual communions. It is quivering in the confession of a Serbian girl attacked by ”migrants protected by the state”. It is wrapped in secondary subjects framed every day, in the terror of under-human banalities and kitsch decorations. Black wizards are getting us used to the idea that humans will be chipped and filled with artificial nano particles, that electronic databases will be stored in human DNA material, forcing us to become biological-cybernetic organisms in this or next generation.
This is progressing, whether we want to see it or not, whether we call it by its real name or not. One of the most serious epidemics which struck people is programmed mistrust, straight and destructive. Mistrust in institutions, in professionals, in the official version, in regulations and standards, in producers and sellers, in medicine and pharmaceutics, even in the church. It is natural that media and politicians are blatantly lying, that electric meters and scales in green markets are wrong, that surgeons, policemen and priests have unofficial pricelists. It is normal that your daughter-in-law is a man, that you purchase grandchildren through the internet, that your educational system is defacing your history. (...)
The system of getting used to evil is doing its part. Surrendering to everything worse than jumping into a pit toilet or accepting to be a bastard. Jean Dutourd was right: ”Virtue requests the greatest courage from a human: confronting the spirit of his time. Adhering to it is difficult and dangerous: the world is not full of wolves; it’s full of sheep, and they are much more dangerous animals.”
