Who is now on algebra

About the rebellion of children who were betrayed by adults

There was a joke on the Internet. The political scientist is asked to comment on an important event, and he replies: "Sorry, I can’t now, I am on the algebra." The rallies on March 26 became a meeting of such political scientists. We did not notice that they exist, and now they went out in the square. Sunday protests have several dimensions - Navalny’s campaign, the answer that the authorities will now formulate, the unification of protesters around the general federal agenda. But the main meaning of what happened is the birth of a new social group.

This is a group of being late in Bolotnaya by age, which also does not use Facebook as the main tool of communication. Facebook reacted quite coolly to the idea of ​​Navalny to go to the dumping, and we, out of an old habit, decided that there would be no mobilization. Mobilization went in parallel in groups with VKontakte memes and messengers - and we are not the first to be interested (this for children), and the latter do not imply publicity at all, this is a conversation for their own. We compared television and the Internet for a long time, and we were sure that we were on the side of the latter (presumably progressive and free).

Now we can talk about the Internet-1 and Internet-2. Our Internet-1 (Facebook, Twitter) occupied trolls and conservatives. From our first Internet, we are watching the second like venerable viewers.

It was possible to think after the story with “Bryansk schoolchildren” who published a video of their communication with teachers. And also - looking at the photographs of those who meet Navalny in the regions. But in order to start thinking, we need to see the square.

The age cohort of 14-20 years is not included in the network of Russian client-patronessual relations, these are “nobody people”, they have no social situation that could be lost. Their life experience includes Ukrainian conflict, schizophrenically filed in Russian official news. And in Yekaterinburg, adolescents jumped with the Ukrainian speech “who doesn’t jump, that bear”, that is, the nightmares of our statesmen-corruptions will willy-nilly become a reality: where else to get the images of the rebellion, if not in fraternal Ukraine?

The collapse of the ruble, experienced by the authorities without any problems, painfully hit the families of young people. Middle -class children can no longer count on education in Europe. Poor strata has much harder problems.

The care of young people was taken by an ideological school: with the lessons of patriotism, the basics of Orthodox culture and censorship. In YouTube, video bloggers with an audience of hundreds of thousands of people talk about how to go to prison for catching Pokemon. The experience of the current eleventh grader is the endless Putin and Medvedev, enmity with the whole world, crazy propaganda, adults who lie.

One of my comrade in a closed Facebook (I asked: why closed?) Wrote that we have before us the conflict of students and teachers, in a literal school sense, as in the recording of "Bryansk schoolchildren." Teachers took the future from their students, telling many years that everything is fine in Russia, refusing to discuss problems, even falsifying the elections (recall the Mytishchi Gate).

There are great risks in everything that is happening, this is a dangerous game, about what is happening rightly they talk about the "Crusade of Children." But what else can children do if they have as older as we? If everyone knows that in prison you can like and for repost, then why not start walking more, for example, in Tverskaya? In rallies on March 26, there was a precisely targeted agenda, a character is specifically determined, who allegedly takes away from children their chances of a normal life. Young people were not deceived by Navalny, who, let it use them for their purposes, but completely different citizens. And the mobilization of the age cohort eventually turned out to be horizontal: the children took them to the square, no one can forbid them to do this. Judging by the boastful photographs, in which they pose with sneakers in their hands or ducks, they all really liked it, and they will want more - politics again becomes fashionable.

Of course, new initiatives in the “State Youth Policy” and new types of censorship will now appear - feathers of authors of numerous projects and reports on this score are already creaking over Moscow. Officials like the Minister of Education Vasilyeva will probably seem now that “it is necessary to strengthen educational work”, from which everyone is sick. Watch how the fifth grader (!) In Tomsk told at the rally that the policy of the school is incredible, and for the picture against the authorities you can get a deuce, that is, monstrous repression. Censors who want to continue this course lay down a rake around them.

Thirty-sorcerer people look very touching, who suddenly began to reason in social networks, so unrivalized, that such irresponsibility from the “shkolota” would not bring to good. It turns out that these children threaten our stability!

And tell me, who is now "on the algebra"?
