It often happens: when with new events a certain lull, and the old ones have already been discussed from all sides, relations about universals begin to sort things out on the network. Last week was no exception. It began with the fact that the director, actor and screenwriter Ivan Okhlobystin, as known as Father John, expressed his view of political correctness on the network resource Snob.ru. The view, in fact, is determined by the name of the publication - "Alas, racist" :

Regarding racism, all the fuss happened when I led with my daughter Evdokia Radifier. The intelligent man called and asked: "What would you do if the charming daughter sitting next to you, upon reaching a certain age, brought the African and said: dad, I love him and cannot live without him?"

Looking briefly at my daughter, at that time biting nails, I answered in my hearts: under a plausible pretext, I would take both to the 30th kilometer, to the forest, and I would have shot from a gun, to a damn mother!

<...> Well, against me mixed marriages with Africans! On the biological level against! This does not mean that I do not like Africans, in the old days he would have married Wupi Goldberg if Sigurni Weaver refused. But it is one thing to “burn” himself, another thing is to teach children good. So that they do not turn their life into an endless study of another kind - at a time when they should, according to the schedule, frantically love, fall and take off on the wings of this love, break on the rocks of everyday fuss and soar on clouds of sacrificial tenderness.

Speaking of love. One cult person - what is there, the founder of the religion, to which John Okhlobystin belongs - said that there is neither Hellenic nor Judea. Vigilant bloggersnoticed that this person did not say anything like this about blacks, so the canon was observed. Otherwise, Okhlobystin in network diaries was slightly washed. As from the standpoint of generalized equality - which has long been not so interesting - and from the standpoint of skins, selfish, personal. What is always interesting - as, for example, in the case of the user VBA_:

In life, I avoid types with racist inclinations for two reasons, private and general.

The private reason is that I have been working in international groups for a long time. Say, now I am closely encountered on working with two arabs, Austrian, Chinese, Korean, German, Lebanese, Slovak, Camerun, Portugue ... Not to mention the French, among whom ethnic origin is the most diverse (Dutch, Spanish, Jewish, Czech, etc.). It’s easier to shoot a racist.

The general (and more important) reason is what. If someone has hostility to people by the criterion of their origin, then it is better to stay away from such a person. Because this hostility can turn against you. This hostility is the result of the hierarchy according to the criterion of the origin established by this person; Usually at the top he is himself, and the rest are at different heights. So you, being a completely white race, nevertheless you can (and, most likely, you will) be attributed to the second variety for the fact that you are a Jew or goy, that you are from the capital or from the province, that you are from the common people or from the nobility ... there is, for what. Do you need it? I don’t.

It is noteworthy that Okhlobystin himself at the end of his text comes to the conclusion that the daughter still does not shoot. But himself, if anything, is unhappy. Bloggers wish Father John of Love, and his daughter is also happiness. The one she will choose herself.

Another universality of the past week is just as global. Fantast writer Sergei Lukyanenko spoke on the Visature.ru network resource with the program article “The Great Russian Dream” -all words with large letters. Apparently, the author of the "patrols" discovered something fundamental and purposeful - which was and shared with readers:

You can scold money as much as you like into national projects, build hospitals and roads, fight drunkenness, make a patriotic movie and support AvtoVAZ.

Nothing will work! Everything will be sluggishly approved and sinking in the swamp of human indifference.

Only the slogan "Freedom and safety" will be accepted by the whole people unanimously.

By safety, Lukyanenko understands a lot of things. Different: “ these are the“ maces that are flying to the target. These are submarines that pray to the ocean, these are new tanks and helicopters, drones and satellites, these are a disciplined contract army. <...> These are police who protect and do not violate the law. This is working accessible and inevitable justice. This is absolute protection. This This is a thorough control of the entire habitat, primarily technogenic, for its safety, this is a struggle with drunkenness and smoking, of course!

In general, there is something to subscribe to - and there is something to argue with. However, all this fades before determining freedom according to Sergei Lukyanenko:

Freedom - genuine and basic - consists exclusively in freedom of movement. While a person who does not suit the country of residence can go to the station and leave for another country-everything is in order with freedom. You can throw Kasparov chess at me - but this is my firm conviction.

I see, yes? The genuine and the main, which consists exclusively in "do not like - Vali." Freedom, armor.

Bloggers naturally opened network notebooks and entered this definition there. With his notes in the fields-like those that the satirist writer Evgeny Shestakov did on his blog:

Fantastic writer Sergei Lukyanenko has become a father today. Russian national idea. <...> Its formula is simple and accessible to understanding even those who wipe his mouth and ass with one sleeve. <...> Simply put, the suitcase-station-Israel. Or states. Or foggy London. In Russia, only those who consider the concept of "freedom of speech" should remain in Russia dirty curses. Who is the combination of words "is exclusively" considers literary. Who is so pleased with himself that he considers all the dissatisfied with the sick. <...>

The side of the science fiction was taken by Leo Kaganov, a writer, no less well -known on the network than Lukyanenko and Shestakov:

Freedom of movement is the main criterion of freedom. If a person does not have the right to move to another street/city/country, then it is already stupid to argue about freedom here. And we traditionally had problems in our country.

However, as the user of mr_bizon noted, "there is such a thing as necessary and sufficient conditions. Freedom of departure is a necessary condition, but not enough." And the user Pointer went to the conclusions where further:

Leonid, this is not a "criterion" of freedom. This is an indicator. Perhaps a good indicator, but no more.
Imagine that you are allowed to completely get out of this country, leaving it your property. Under such conditions, you are, under escort, are carried out to the border and thrown freely with a kick under a bare ass.
This is called "let go for the ransom." A common practice, by the way, especially at the state level.
You can guess for a long time what Chichvarkina had in mind Lukyanenko, but I do not think that he was bad in handling words. He said exactly what he wanted to say.

On the fields - we note: in blogs there are people who can lay out everything on the fingers - that the criterion, that the indicator, what is the necessary condition, and what is sufficient. Everything is in the mind. Other bloggers decided not to be guided not by the mind, but by instinct - and expressed a desire to get hold of Kasparov chess. Lukyanenko himself asked.
