Learn to hate

Sit in a time machine and return a year and a half ago. Come to Bolotnaya Square, get to the microphone and tell them everything: about the “swamp business” and arrested on it up to Gaskarov, about “Anatomy of protest” and about Lebedev , about Kirovles and Navalny, even about the inauguration in the empty Moscow and the stripping of those days; Well, to believe that they were not crazy, but really from the future, to show them some kind of artifact, which they had not yet had, but we already have. Well, I don’t know, the fifth iPhone - look, they say, I'm from the future!

Would you believe? It is unlikely. Those who have not yet forgot the atmosphere of the city holiday, who read the speakers then ( then everyone wrote the speakers ), who retrued and laids, he remembers what mood reigned then. Then, of course, everything will change. Political processes, the Investigative Committee as the main communicating organ between the Kremlin and the opposition, the new crazy laws, the new all - in terms of the ratio “Waited/received” these were the most incredible year and a half in the recent history of Russia. It doesn’t happen, and it is logical that no one could predict, predict, warn.

And if so: sit down in the time machine, fly in December 2011 and, without going into details, to say in 2013 that yes, there are adequate people in power, with whom you need to have a dialogue , and that if the opposition wants to be better than the authorities, she needs to learn to forgive and understand, and not break into the grass of the provocateurs in their ranks, and what time to get off with Barricades -in this case, the fifth iPhone should not have been worth shaving, Bolotnaya-2011 would love to listen to such a speech. In the atmosphere of the city holiday, conciliatory words would sound appropriate and adequate.

Listen to them now, when the holiday has long ended, and not managing to leave home, its participants either sit in prison or hide abroad - in such an environment, reconciliation words sound wildly. But they still sound, and, apparently, if you should put up with anything, it is with the fact that the next arrests and courts will occur to the accompaniment of the same speeches - they say, you do not need to be hardened, you need to understand and forgive, and then in the text.

It has long been a common place to talk about the absence of some important human qualities in our society-mercy, “Protestant ethics”, empathy, mind and God knows what else. This year convincingly demonstrated a deficiency of another most important quality - the ability to hate. This can sound strange, it is believed that the Russians are extremely intolerant and uncompromising, but it is exactly what is considered. This year, from May to May, there was not a single case that would prove the intolerance of Russians at least in the person of individual representatives of the opposition. The authorities committed too many acts from which the eyes should have been pouring blood, and his hands stretch to the ax, but each time we see a dozen a dozen confused picketers in a technical lane, but we see nothing else.

This call can sound strange, but the lack of hatred and rage must be overcome as hard as the lack of mercy - without one there is no other. You need to learn to hate, learn to be vindictive, learn not to forgive.

At least in order not to be inconvenient before those who are sitting now on the “swamp business”. They will come out, read, as we understood and forgave those whom in fact in no case can neither understand nor forgive.
