Ubleha for idiots

  • CSologist

    Stems from CS which is an acronym in BCS language for Civil Society. The CSologist knows everything about civil society (CS) that a citizen must not even think of knowing. The CSologist has been in civil society for years now, and s/he has acquired priceless experience which, earlier, in the totalitarian regime (See) could neither be discussed nor studied. Every word s/he utters is worth committing to memory.

from Ubleha for Idiots – An Absolutely non useful Guide for Civil Society Building and Project management for Locals and Internationals in BiH and Beyond by Nebojša Šavija-Valha and Ranko Milanovic-Blank, ALBUM No. 20, 2004, Sarajevo, translated by Marina Vasilj.
