Last protest language

The historian and anthropologist Sergei Abashin writes on one of the social networks :

“The problem is not that the majority for the regime or against the regime, but that those who are against, have no political subjectivity in this situation, they are silent, but not only because they are not allowed to speak, but also because they do not have their own language, which would become a way of gathering supporters.

So far, the language is even those who are against, largely imperial, racist and authoritarian, in this it differs little from the language of the regime. Powerlessness is not that we cannot resist the external pressure, but that we are not capable of critical work with our own consciousness, our stereotypes and prejudices, we did not understand our mistakes, we do not look for this new language that will re -speak and imagine our society. And this impotence naturally produces only squabbles and mutual reproaches. ”
