German companies took responsibility for doing business with the Nazis, even though their leaders today are not at fault. And when will the communists in our country apologize for “Holy Sunday“, the victims and the murders? Does Bulgaria have honor and decency?
Do you know what basic decency is? In Bulgaria, it is a deficit, especially when you have to admit some guilt or shame. And it is difficult, difficult, as if someone is having a tooth pulled. One of the most difficult and seemingly impossible things is to admit politically that you have failed. It is also partly a matter of PR (our self-taught PR people have heard something here and there, and always act according to the motto: “deny, even if they catch you red-handed“), but there is something beyond that. There is decency beyond the native pig-likeness, which is not necessarily “positive“ propaganda. There are also things like honor and dignity.
The example of 49 German companies
A total of 49 world-famous German companies, whose products you use en masse - the color and history of business in Germany, found the strength within themselves (on the occasion of 80 years since the end of World War II) to issue a declaration. It, in general, states that they take responsibility for their grandfathers, who did business with the Nazis. Including the fact that “German companies helped consolidate the rule of the National Socialists“. This remarkable and thoughtful declaration, of course, lacks some things, but it nevertheless sounds masculine. I omit the characteristic phrases about the “fragility of democracy“.
That is, it is masculine (and why not feminine?) to say - well, I am guilty of some things. I bear responsibility and "also the shame on my forehead". The declaration was signed by a bunch of today's German bosses, who, of course, are not guilty of Nazism. And here for me comes the culture of decency, which we have never seen in Bulgaria.
Not only do they not want to apologize, but they also rule the country
We have talked about this a hundred times, but here is the hundred and first: the Bulgarian communists not only do not want to apologize for the victims, the murders, the self-mythologized role of the Red Army, the lies, the fictitious communist existence and the fictional Soviet world. No, they are smiling in our faces and no, and no. What is more - they, the Bulgarian late communists of today, rule the country. They want a referendum on the euro, they love the USSR (in Putin's image) and are malicious like bully children: “now you will see, you dirty pro-Western bastards“.
And how beautiful it would be if those in question had the empathy and relative decency of the German companies in question. There could have been at least one "apology" for the People's Court or for the thrice bankrupt socialist Bulgaria, in which the majority were slaves of labor, as per Georgi Kirkov.
Not a single one apologized for the victims of communism
Let me remind you: communism in our country killed a total of at least 50-60,000 people. The amazing thing is that not one - not one! - of the heirs of these people ever apologized. Not for the attack in "St. Nedelya", nor for anything else. And they could have, if they were not like that. President Radev himself, who reeks of post-communism, so it doesn't last, could have said something to the effect that we are reconciling forever and that the victims of communism are sleeping soundly next to their executioners, i.e. at least comment on the fact of the victims after September 9.
Of course, nothing can be expected from Radev, except to ramble on about peace and that Ukraine cannot win. But this is neo-communism (yes, both through the BSP and the Varna troll) - we will never apologize in the manner of the above companies. Okay, I understand: we will always be “only freed from the past“, but still, still. What still? Well, the Reds and the State Security, at least offer a “dessolve“, for all your monstrous crimes. And only then become presidents, i.e. be Red slaves and great Putinists.
One furious question
As I said “great Putinists“: let me tell you something else. A Russian fairy tale of names: Prigozhin, Politkovskaya, Litvinenko, Estemirova, Nemtsov. Fortunately, not someone like Mandelstam.
And again, furious, I ask the people who like communism: do you really want a “Moskvich“ after 10 years of waiting, slave wages, wet salami and dill? And again, furious, I ask – when will you apologize? For everything?
The German companies just did it. And you, Mrs. of “wine with appetizers“?
