Paper short abstract:

This paper is part of recording the slow micro-fanonesque awakenings that span well beyond the historical fact of Croatia's entering the EU (1st July 2013) and surviving the consequences of it's disastrous communist heritage into the state of opposing the forced disaster consumerism.

Paper long abstract:

In the past three months there were four disasters (three floods and one water poisoning) throughout Croatia. To be precise, four confessed by the media sightings. In a number of reports the victims stated a deep distrust in the government and mentioned that their state is connected to the corporative rampancy of doing business with cover-ups done by the long-term politics of Croatian neoliberal profiteering. Locally, people tell horrific stories tied to the long lasting devastation of resourceful living (confessed or unconfessed by the media). Globally the business prosperity maxim of business as usual is hard to contest. The discrepancy of the two collides, while the collusion of many profiteering deceits has been struck long ago. Chronologies are much deeper and unsolvable through the leftist blaming of a few international institutions. The state can be described as talking culture, crying health and hoping for nothing (Špoljar Vržina, 2011) or its more pertinent version brainstorming for which brains are prohibited (Špoljar Vržina 2012) - both local outcries of the author of this summary given in the grasp towards establishing a chronology of on-ground happenings. In the words of the artist Weiwei we live in 'So sorry' cultures (Siemons and Weiwei, 2008). Croatians hear the 'So, sorry' mantra endlessly. This paper is part of recording the slow micro-fanonesque awakenings that span well beyond the historical fact of Croatia's entering the EU (1st July 2013) and surviving the consequences of its disastrous communist heritage into the state of opposing the forced disaster consumerism.
