Moral and poetic values

Some are lamented and even horrified about these goaturing ratings. And for some reason I don't.

And not only because I do not really believe in these polls and their results. It's not even that. Well, let's say they, these results, are believable. Suppose. And what from that?

Are we just waking up today? Did we never know where we live? Do we still unknown the sadomasochistic inclinations of the statistical majority of our so -called society, which automatically approve of lies and violence, also manifested in relation to them? Did we first learn that the basis of the state, loyal discourse is the idea of ​​total lies as political wisdom and the total violence as the necessary measures to instill public order and establish state gospel?

We did not know before that the eyes of a huge number of fellow citizens in mortal fear of modernity rejoice at the flat and calm, as it seems to them, the lifeless socio-cultural landscape, which they are used to calling the stability of the supreme priests?

Before, something, did we not know that horror is not only before the present, but also for the future forces to look for salvation and reflections in a well -mythologized past? The fact that "not hiding his enthusiasm, turning his eyes back, let's say:" No need to paradise, give us the usual hell "?

Is it still not obvious to us the destructive, corrupting role of aggressive and thoughtless state propaganda, quite, it must be said, skillfully using the traditional child’s confidence in the fairy tale?

So the fairy tale behind the fairy tale is happening before our eyes, for nothing that the "Fairy Tale - Lies" was said.

Therefore, it is quite conscious, and not by force, as many think, ordinary professional unsuitability, various types and genres of art and journalism , freely flowing into each other, are mixed to indistinguishability in the information space.

The boundaries between the functions and tasks of fiction and journalism, feature films and documentary reports are quite consciously ignored. They are ignored with the same cynical lightness as state borders.

Some of them finished something. And they, of course, explained how the fiction differs from the report, and the feature cinema from the documentary. They themselves know that shots from the scene of battles are one, and shots from the cinema Tarantino are completely different. That the prose of Vladimir Sorokin is one thing, and the analytical column is completely different.

They know very well that all this is completely, to put it mildly, different social and cultural functions. That the "fairy tale-knit" is correct, and "information-knit" is, in general, a official crime.

So the word "truth" as a result of their efforts is no longer quite clear what it means. Because more and more often those who use this word, or do not understand, or ignore the essential, substantial shades of its meanings, without taking into account that the truth, for example, is scientific or, for example, a journalistic, or the truth of a judicial investigation, or the truth of a diplomatic is not at all the same as the truth, for example, artistic.

Is it worth it to be surprised that for the stories on the TV about crucified youths, etc. From the mouth of the nomadic, from the plot to the plot of the culinary “witnesses of brutal crimes”, no one will be moral - nor, moreover, the official - will not bear and to suffer. "This is art, guys! What are you?!" Some of them, it seems to me, really believe that they are engaged in art there. And therefore, accusations of lies are considered absurd.

Anyone who evaluates a work of art from the point of view of conformity or inconsistency with life realities, according to the degree of life -likeness, is simply not very developed.

Anyone who builds a report or news plot according to the laws, so to speak, artistic or by what he considers to be such is either a madman or a cynical crook.

So is it worth it to be surprised at all ratings?

Do we not know what happens when historical unconsciousness as a national idea has been cultivated for years and decades? What happens when the demonstrative neglect of causal relationships erected in the main principle of the state’s information strategy turns a huge country into a continuous causal insulator?

For us, or something, it is news that many, very many experience the real euphoria from the fact that at the highest level they allowed to finally appear in public without pants?

Reasons for longing, for despondency, for a painful sensation of one’s own powerlessness, for an acute feeling of shame today there are a lot.

But still you don’t have to lose heart! And do not talk about the "too subtle layer." He is thin, this layer, really. But he is. And always was. Even during the years of my youth, when it seemed that this "layer" was placed in one room. And he will always be. And this very layer, no matter how thin it is, in fact, is society, unless, of course, by society understand the totality of people, through personal efforts, retaining orientation in time and space, in world history and native language, in basic, mandatory for everyone and for each moral categories, and not in “sovereign”, collective farm-tribal, gathered. "Scrapers".

And to believe that these goaturing ratings indicate folk harmony and public health is how to be sure that the higher the body temperature, the better the person.
