Gloating

Why mass human tragedies are accompanied not only by compassion, but also by glee

Reading the news, recently I have more and more often recall my friend, who once had an incredible series of failures, he once said: “I don’t know where it hurts more painfully ...”

People die everywhere, and it makes no sense to list the tragedies that go on a series - they are all in a hearing. But why are normal human reactions: regret, sympathy, participation, compassion-are drowned out by avalanches of vengeful and vulnerable glee? Where does this foam come from - hooting, mockery, dance on the bones? What does this come from, is there any explanation at least this? These questions are answered by the professor, academician of the Russian Academy of Education, the famous psychologist Alexander Asmolov.

- Each time tragedies occur in different corners of the light, reactions appear that have a wide range. There is empathy, someone has pain, and someone has a battery of hatred. The latter occurs when the whole world around is considered as the world of enemies. And, for example, Russia is considered as a besieged fortress. In fact, as soon as we begin to consider the whole world as hostile, what reactions can be expected to the tragedies that have comprehended the outside world? This is being broadcast to us today media and television, which, as we have already said more than once, has long become a “telenophage”. The grief of other people becomes joy.

- That is, it is the joy of the "television residents"?

- All who are under the influence of propaganda. Who is bad? Our enemies. They receive against us and for this ... This is for it ... And here there may be a fan of various definitions, why the “enemies” and “God punished”. They went against our country, and we become stronger when they weaken. Therefore, any tragic event that occurs “with them” is literally a gift to the so-called cloth-in-wing patriotism. Patriotism is the ideology of the country's transformation into a fortress behind which xenophobia is in their hyperforms.

Deep reactions are associated, perhaps, with anti -Semitism, which many are present in one way or another, formed, I would say, not only in decades, but also in centuries. This is if we talk about the reaction to the catastrophe in Israel, the pogrom that terrorists from the Hamas organization produced on October 7 in Israel, when the barbarians' gangs fell on the youth music festival and peaceful kibbuts. Many young couples, adolescents, children, babies were destroyed by Hamas terrorists. And many children were supposedly captured and taken to gas. But I assure you

The reactions of gloating are not reduced only to anti -Semitism. In a broad sense, this is the reaction of the system "we - they", "our own - strangers." The whole world is strangers.

Only those that are close to us, infinitely supporting everything that is constructed by the official line of power. This is a reaction of zombie people.

And this reaction is summarized when it comes to Israel. This happens not only in Russia, but also in different countries of the planet - in France, and in Germany, and in many Muslim countries. Behind this is another mechanism - the persecution of those who are more successful. This is called BULING - a unique means of realizing social envy for those who are in order today, who is perceived as successful, as "better than me." And then - let him be bad. And this is another motivation that stands behind the reaction to the tragedy that have occurred. Not only in Israel - in different countries. And everywhere today there is gloating. And behind this - a huge number of different motives, I listed only some of them - primarily those that are inherent in those who feel the inhabitants of the “besieged fortress” and therefore rejoice when the “enemies” have a tragedy.

- Why have there so many armed conflicts, as if the whole world went to each other? If we take as a basis that the world as such is a single organism, can it be assumed that the events that began on February 24, 2022, as if infected the world?

- This is a social virology, of course. The events in Ukraine served as a detonator of the pandemic of hatred. And people in the situation of pandemia of hatred turn into nonhumans and lose their face, roll into the archaic world.

The fighting in Ukraine became a trigger of what happened to Karabakh, they became a trigger of events in Kosovo and a sharp increase in tension between Taiwan and China. They became a trigger for a huge number of many events. As Voznesensky said, "the earth is dangling in the adhesion of the meridians and the latitudes!" Today, the Earth is dangled in the AVOSK of social networks and television vehicles - these are channels through which the social virology of hatred is carried, leading to changes in attitudes for individual citizens and the leaders of certain states.
