Down with the office! God will wait

Belief in man is unbelief in a bad person. You can not believe in a good person - he is already good. A good person has ideals - maybe the wrong ones (he is a good person, which is not quite the same as the "right person"), but there is. What ideals have a bad person? He is a genius-consumer or a fighter genius, thieves or bloodsucker-he would have to eat something or gobble up someone.

I am especially not believed in non -resource, which the descendants imagined themselves. It seems that so valiant ministers of the red terror have not yet been called, but, let me, if the very running name of the Lubyanka is the "office", then what else to call its workers? All -knowing, just -hearted, looking at others not even down, but simply like a butcher for a chop. They can lie as much as they like that they have ideals, but where did the ideals come from in a tin soldier?

Therefore,-an unbelieving consciousness concludes-there are some normal, good, albeit wrong people who are behind these descendants. They give them ideals, they inspire them.

So conspiracy therapy appears, the belief that the Zion, but still sages stand behind the stupid primitive politicians, and the Orthodox bishops are behind the descendants. Who benefits from the current regime? Office - they lived well with Brezhnev, churchmen won from the change of ideology, therefore ... there, and the Strugatsky in the “hard God” shows: black always comes to replace gray. So do not be afraid of Putin, be afraid of Gundyaev! Leviathan of the state is just a chain dog of clericalism. Do not be distracted by the Chekists, blow evil in the bud - Popov to the shameful pillar!

It is very difficult to believe in it, but a bad person is also a person. These omniscient stalls, too, believe me, need ideals. And the bourgeois cannot without ideals, and, no matter how heretically it sounds, a politician. In a scientific, this is called the "Pyramid of Maslow's needs." The Strugatsky mocked her, depicting a genius-consumer in the "Monday", but they simply did not understand what it was about.

Maslow did not claim that the pyramid of needs is evolutionary development from consumerism to the spirit of creativity, from grub to stars. A man is dried from a belly - and begins to look for God. He will eat from the belly - it will begin to look for what else to eat, no more. But there is a thirst for God in the herring - he just makes God from a herring. "This herring is his body."

It is hard to believe that the descendants did not succumb to the persuasion of the malicious bishops, but hired the bishops to read them - and the whole of Russia - sermons. No Zion sages and Dzerzhinsky manipulated - he himself came from the Jesuit school to Marxism, to the Red Terror in the name of the general good. And Stalin had ideals, although at a certain stage of cannibalism it is no longer possible to find out how much he was faithful to the youthful enthusiasm. If he did not commit suicide, then most likely he still believed that he believed in communism.

Not Gundyaev gave birth to Putin, but a little, on the contrary. Moreover: the last quarter of a century, the authorities simultaneously encourages Orthodoxy and anti -cleelicalism

At first, the Bolsheviks retained the churchmen - by the way, not only the Orthodox - simply because it was technically difficult to shoot everyone at once. Since the mid-1920s-because they decided that it was easier not to shoot, but to tame. And then shoot. Since the mid-1930s-because faith in communism and socialism then went down, and the place of this faith began to occupy the usual nationalism in the form of Russian imperialism. Yes, Georgian Stalin was an ordinary Russian Nazi. So Hitler was not a German!

Among the reasons for the overthrow of Khrushchev was, most likely, his archaic anticlericalism for those times. Not because the clericals penetrated the KGB and taught me to overthrow Khrushchev, but because faith in communism has already completely faded, faith in Russian imperialism was very stronger, and Orthodoxy turned out to be the only ideology to replace proletarian internationalism and no less Jewish cosmopolitanism.

Since the 1970s, historians are already confidently saying that the project "Orthodoxy, Chekism, and nationality" is financed by the office. Separately, separately, villagewriters (quite anticleric-church, something like the Old Believers), separately-pure anti-Semites of the “memory”, separately-counterintelligence and its department of external church relations of the Russian Orthodox Church, from which the modern top of the Patriarchate, separately, separately, separately, separately, separately, are financed.

Yes, Russian, as it were, has a spiritual father, and the Russian prime minister has the spiritual father of his wife (which is even more important for a mythologized consciousness). However, to see in these spiritual fathers - the papaparls, and in Putin and the bear of their puppets - the same clouding of reason as to consider Rasputin by the top of the fate of Russia in 1916. Not Gundyaev gave birth to Putin, but a little, on the contrary. Moreover: the last quarter of a century, the government simultaneously encourages Orthodoxy and anticlerricism. Only anticlericalism should be precisely anticlericalism. Therefore, Tolokonnikova and Alekhina, who said that the main thing is not a cassock, but the Chekist epaulets, gave a deadline, but to those who say that the main thing is not Chekist shoulder straps, but the cassocks do not give anything. Nevzorov and Zvyagintsev can sleep calmly, nothing threatens them.

The encouragement of clericals and anticlericals at once is an absolutely normal move for despotism, following the principle of "retractions and counterweights" in its totalitarian version.

Sometimes they see a sign of clericalization in the fact that with the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Moscow Patriarchate sharply strengthened the imperial rhetoric, but this proves the opposite - they ordered it, so she fulfills the order. Most likely, without a big hunt, although for a lot of money. Patriarch Kirill would prefer to receive money, and not to support the war, you never know what will happen ahead - but it has to be.

The illusion that it is the church that twists power arises from the fact that people have only now paid attention to the church. The history of the last quarter of a century indicates that all these years the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church MP with the persistence of the bulldog erupted in power one privilege after another. Strape puppeteers do not do this. However, the struggle for restricting foreign missionaries took the entire first half of the 1990s. By the way, anticlericalism was at the same time from the court intellectuals-the state of the state is not rubber, and the money that was thrown into religion meant a reduction in budgets of various institutions, including cinema. Oh, what kind of scream has risen - and still does not subside - about the evil of priests. The priests, of course, are malicious, I know by myself - but this crawl of anticlericalism. People who silently ignored or even supported real evil - corruption, embezzlement, war in Chechnya, Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine - recouped, cleansing their conscience, to the churches.

Can I imagine an option in which the Kremlin - and the office now merged with the Kremlin - decides to replace Orthodoxy with Islam? Easily! Is it possible - in which Gundyaev will replace Putin even with Shoigu, at least with Navalny? Yes, for nothing! And thank God, you know!

In fact, the price of the issue is negligible, zero. In the end, it doesn’t matter, Putin gave birth to Gundyaev or vice versa. It is important to build a society in which in power there will be no opportunities to give birth to religion, and in religion - to give birth to power. This also applies to business and power, by the way. In order to build such a society, and we must believe that your fellow citizenship is not a puppet. For his sins and virtues, he is responsible in full personally. We must negotiate with him, and not with imaginary or real owners. There is no need to look for the scenes - you just need to eliminate the very possibility of culis. Harmony - harmonists, priests - believers, and the office is just Down with the office.

Alas, few of those who are ready to eliminate the church will subscribe to the "Down with the office!". Even now, when Russian militarism has finally became “strange”, unheard of gabash militarism in history. To the true evil - they find an excuse, as all these decades have found. It’s easier to say “God died” than to say “let the office die!”, But still the first is not true, but the second should become reality.
