Yesterday I finally expressed my final opinion about the “Pussy Riot case.” And at the same time, I finally found out what social capital is in Yandex. It turned out that the hierarchy of social capital is the degree of conformity in relation to the generally accepted, widespread liberal opinion. The more the LJ owner is a conformist (that is, he shares the prejudices of the bourgeoisie and its hysterics), the higher he stands in the hierarchy of social capital. Navalny’s popularity is now clear. The more banal you are as a thinking person, the more “like everyone else” you are, the more you are valued in terms of social capital. I've been guessing about this for a long time, but this morning it finally dawned on me. Because I saw that within 24 hours my LiveJournal had dropped to many points.
It was pointed out to me that Vladimir Milov’s opinion on the PR case is confusingly similar to mine. I read Milov's opinion. Yes, indeed, his analysis is similar to mine. Both he and I say that the PR conflict has divided society and this is beneficial to the authorities. Vladimir Milov rises in my eyes. He knows how to think when he is not excited.
I would like to add that what is striking in the behavior of the pillars of bourgeois thought is their complete disregard for the opinion of those who are called in history the people. This neglect is explained by the fact that we do not have free elections. If it were necessary to go through elections, the bourgeois leaders would be careful not to support Pussy Riot. (Who are Pussy themselves? Simple girls, I’m talking about the “Pussy Riot case”). They would be careful only because pensioners would not choose them, the poor would not choose them, who still have a traditional, slightly fearful, albeit at a distance, attitude towards the church, and even more so Christian believers would not choose, and even Muslims would be careful not to choose , because if a person does not respect his own religion, then what will he do with someone else’s!
So we also need free elections so that the opposition becomes responsible, and does not “squeal” (in the words of V. Milov) joyfully in the all-crushing ecstasy of denial.
Only a fool can come to the conclusion that the Pussy Riot affair has consolidated the opposition and that success awaits the opposition along this road. Nope! This road leads from the people. But walk, walk along it! I am your political rival, and the more mistakes you make, the better for me.
This was the Sunday morning sermon on August 19th.
