There is no power that is mocking over the people - there is a people who suffers it

In Soviet times, there was the concept of "moral and political unity." It doesn’t matter what kind of “moral” it was - but it was the moral category next to the politics. It was a fiction, but it was. Under the current government, such a ligament does not even pass as a bluff, as a naked rhetoric, with all the amendments to the hypocrisy of the defendants and our addiction to the blizzard from the especially cultural northern capital ...

In Soviet times, there was the concept of "moral and political unity." It doesn’t matter who with whom, and what kind of “moral” it was - but it was the moral category next to the politics. It was believed that she should stand there. It was a fiction, but it was.

Under the current government, such a ligament does not even pass as a bluff, as a naked rhetoric, with all the amendments to the hypocrisy of the defendants and our addiction to the blizzard from the especially cultural northern capital. There was nothing left that the authorities would have considered it shameful to say or make with an eye on elementary decency, on the opinion of fellow citizens with the remnants of the brain and conscience. Atrophy of shame and any ideas about the rules for treating people and behavior in society have become a natural state of power. She had not been distinguished by upbringing before, but now the whole carving is broken. This authorities are engaged in the churching of the state, but lives in the entire feeling that God has died and now everything is allowed.

Especially stupid, methodologically naive and philosophically behind it was now the analytical text about the moral dimension of politics. It would seem ...

However, even in such conditions, the space of politically significant morality remains - where people solve the issues of respect and self -esteem for themselves.

Clones of arbitrariness

This is not about respect or disrespect for the authorities, although there was no such beyond the fall of her reputation for a long time or never. It is as if the climate is synchronously changing in nature and in politics: there was no such temperature of rejection in the entire history of observations - not everything is burning yet, but it is already difficult to breathe. Yes, and “consonants” with the regime are close to the peak of disrespect: the formula “If not ... who?” He expresses the doom of the authorities, which has no other advantages, except for the ability to blame competitors on distant approaches, bending a personnel vacuum.

Another thing is more important: the authorities demonstrate an absolute and egregious disrespect for the significant and far from worst, or even the best (according to V. Surkov) part of society. More than once they tried to find a common denominator for this massive assembly - "angry townspeople." It is believed that these people suddenly suddenly began to lack something-political representation and influence on fate, social elevators, self-realization, prospects ... But perhaps, for a start, these people are not enough so that their legs are not wiped so that they would not be crossed, so that they would not spit in the face. To begin with, there is an insult to the prison. It is known that Sakharov was so firmly defending political principles primarily because he perceived them as part of the scientific truth (conflict of Galileo and Bruno). The scientist opposed the Inquisition, which demanded to abandon knowledge and accept false allegations, at least in silence. In one way or another, this is in any thoughtful person. But right now the situation has aggravated. The Soviet government behaved like in a joke: so, children, five five will be twenty -five, well, twenty -six, but no more. Putinoids go further, their signal is bifurcated to society. So, today five two hundred and fifty will be five, and there we'll see. For those who do not know the multiplication table or are ready to believe everything that is from above, it becomes an operational truth. But the more sane part of society hears more from the authorities: in this higher arithmetic, five five will be as much as we say. Further under this model, its own multiplication table is drawn, converting into brady and penetrating all pores of institutional relations (the traffic police inspector or fighter Onishchenko, who asserts self -asserting a harassed shop - all these are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of little Putin, the clones of arbitrariness, replicated in the same logic of relations).

There is just violence, but there is savagery. Putin needs it, because his bomber falls with a supply of fuel on board and with full ammunition. This is no longer a swinging of the boat, but the risk of depressurization in too high atmosphere. Passengers are riveted to armchairs, and the team begins to bounce to reduce the load on the glider. This peak can be protracted, but it is irreversible. The ship commander controls the fall and does everything (as he understands), so as not to fly overboard without a parachute, when the team will fully comprehend the prospect of its landing at such a course. But, it seems, it is more important for him to steer as long as possible beautifully, even then no one will come out of this spectacular aerobatics alive.

This is “beautifully” understood as the rape of the enemy. Two factors converge here: the service staff cannot solve the tasks without monstrous punctures and in at least any decent form (only scumbags go into battle), but the client does not object. The idiocy of implementation, absurdity and clowning - revenge for the winter fright that has subsided, but, of course, did not go anywhere, becoming chronic, because a person is clearly not a fool. But this revenge puts a huge number of people - almost no longer a class - to a position that the presence of the ladies prevents. To put it mildly, this is called "to sleep on ...".

And now we will try to imagine the possible “closure” of such a project of power - its perfect implementation. A huge number of undead, stubborn and energetic citizens with a particularly pronounced sense of dignity and self-esteem claims openly and publicly spit in the face, but now they want to not even rub them out. And how do the gentlemen from our liberal-conservative Kremlin-Brulem imagine this? At some point, the situation will achieve the desired ideal of the accomplished revenge and total control, will be preserved, and the authorities will only have to slam the small outbreaks of still unprotected indignation? What are you talking about, strategists?

Asymmetric balance of words and deeds

This power has already spit in the face of a much larger number of people than this can be evaluated by protest promotions and even in the audience of opposition press and networks. Part of this audience from active actions holds that it has the opportunity to plunge into an informational, almost virtual world in which power - primarily in its main personification - receives an answer substantially asymmetric: weakly organizationally, but an order of magnitude more acute and creative - truly innovative. The phrase "Do not swing the boat, our rat is sick!" I did as much to undermine the regime as for its stabilization: people pulled out in full growth and did not go further.

The asymmetric balance of words and deeds was established. Putin does his own, and the opposition can do anything or almost nothing, but she speaks, speaks strongly and brightly, including in the case, while the authorities are in response to babble something wretched. The opposition has almost no advancement in real life (or even vice versa), but there is a reason to respect herself: at least she is not silent and at least tries to do what she can. Does someone believe that all this can be taken from people without poorly predictable consequences?

Somewhere nearby, there is a significant (huge) part of a society that or almost everything about the country and power understands, this superiors categorically does not, but does not yet participate in open actions, because it has moral alibi in a revealed protest: someone is fighting there, something seems to change or can change, but I am busy with my direct business, and this is more important for me and for my policy.

At the same time, it turns out that the authorities are dealing with them as if not with them and its spitting fly by or almost by (although, of course, this is an illusion: in fact, everyone is spat, including seemingly deviated and reassured with increased self-esteem). But as the opposition suppression, these people will remain with the authorities alone, in the direct confrontation. It will not be someone to delay and take on all this insulting, blows and political humiliation. And then everyone, in whom at least the remnants of dignity are preserved, will understand that this power, having shut up the country, has already spat out the opposition, not protesting, but himself. If now Escape (departure) - from politics, out of social activity or from Russia - looks like a choice (although what is the “choice” for a self -respecting person?), Then soon it will become a simple flight, an escape from the battlefield in the war, which was made against your will.

Already almost everyone knows that stopping protest is radicalizing it. The authorities are not very afraid of this, because he sleeps and sees to run into and answer. But you can’t even imagine how such actions expand the social basis for protest and activate a temporary passive. The way they do it now (and it will not work out in another way) becomes an insult that can no longer be demolished in the between the head and not to fill in the kitchen. Personal goes into public, morality into politics, political to historical.

As a result, it becomes ashamed of the country, from which the best people are forced to blame for self -realization - but it’s a shame for people who do it in an indecently inflated position, although with a proudly raised head of a citizen of the world. I am ashamed of a story in which the ups were always so impressive ... It’s a shame for this eternal return of violence and obscene, lies and a militant dope. I am ashamed of the trampled potential of some part of the land there, generously gifted with a genius and bowels (what else does the country need to adequately meet its great future?).

But talking about the “country” is also an alibi for the unfortunate and weak, an attempt to preserve the remnants of self -esteem. There are no countries as a moral instance - there are people who inhabit it, the rest of Flora and Fauna, physics, chemistry, geology. There is no power that is mocking over the people - there is a people who suffers it. By and large, there are not even a people - there are specific people who demolish the transcendental humiliations of reason and conscience - who is by weakness of character, some of the secret weakness for such humiliation. There is a creative elite that the authorities uses as rampages from a sex shop, there is a specially trained anal analytics who squinting under science, and there is an intellectual community that is embarrassed or afraid to finally pronounce what it's time to come to.

Respect as such in front of the eyes expires from this supposedly social environment. "Do you respect me?" - This sacramental question becomes fateful for sober Russia, and a rare answer will be positive here. The contrary, the open spaces of the homeland literally floods heavy and thick dislike. The authorities are doing everything to ruin society with mutual contempt and hostility, forgetting that this is breaking the state.

The country in which people hate and are afraid of each other is doomed. Only shame will save her - if he still remained. The Russian ones could always be raised to "ashamed!" And "weak?" Once, even the great Russian, Dr. Bellington, director of the US Congress Library, agreed with this bright idea.
