This is traditional nepotism. A hierarchical ladder is being built. At the top – the elite, built on the principle of the family. In the middle level, in the system, all niches are occupied by” their people” by the type of clan. The bourgeoisie is not far behind (and the national representatives from the legal protection, too). All this organization forms a form of the modern solidarity-the ruling party. At the bottom, life is also set up according to a quasi-family pattern – interest groups are formed. In other words, clans are formed against the state, but inside.
What are Philistines?
First, all Philistines do not correspond to the essence that they pursue. That’s why they are Philistines. They certainly do not want to conform to it but acquire the pursued entity as a thing. This” material” series also includes very non-material entities, for example, titles, statuses, the highest rank in some field, for example, the rank of Professor or doctor of science. These “acquisitions” are of an expansive range; if the society is developing, we are talking about the middle-class society as a whole and claiming the highest civilized status. But in the traditional world, all this is a show-off and proof of status. In everything, one distinctive “Philistine” feature in the form, the type of event, but not the content, the essence.
What falls under this form? It can be a military rank, a scientific degree, a social status, a label of popularity, and, in the end, belonging to the elite. In middle-class society, the elite is very specific. She is only the mistress of things, no matter what, but things. Petty-bourgeois elites can best find and get as “things”, so you can become both a Professor and a writer very simply. In addition to the “rich” elite, it also wants to seem, of course, smart. A professor as a thing, status, and name Professor it’s like buying a banal thing on the market! This is only possible here.
So, among the Nouveau riches, you can become anyone, even a Caliph for an hour, even a Pope, even a circus performer, even an astronaut, even an ice skater, if only you had money. Who doesn’t have access to this case? They don’t care if you’re really a General or a philosopher; they don’t give a damn. Who wants to? Let him be a General! Even the singing General, even dancing. Utter carelessness.
Of course, when the pagan consciousness touches you, it will gradually be just such a celebration of apathy, marginal simplicity. The desire to find something that is not available, but shines, with an incomprehensible luster and wants to be incomprehensible and brilliant during pseudo perfection and education of society may not look beautiful. But the new townspeople, once again, don’t give a damn. They can buy it and “dress” it.
Buy and dress “General”.
It is also effortless to recognize a fake. A regime philosopher is just as easy to spot as a wedding General. The job gives the discrepancy. The “analyst” of them can go crazy, for example. You can assume that he really wants to open something bright and memorable, but there are not enough resources, natural data, but the Philistine system gave him a card “Analytics”, with a seal – take it and come up with it. He gives them a real product – only his madness. This is just as crazy as the claim of the bourgeoisie to the content. To the point of complete madness, he guesses the main desire of customers – their secret, which means that his discovery will be pointless and mystical. Mysticism can’t be touched or challenged – it’s scary to touch the incomprehensible; astrology scares the audience. All their analysts are mystics, of course. Do you remember shamans? This is them, only in modern clothes. If there are no orderlies to recognize a madman, then another mystery discovery is considered a find. And how many such finds. Many people moved to the city quickly. And there, they immediately became smart scientists.
But the General is more difficult to “catch” because it requires war or force of circumstances. That he’s worthless, but he still gives out something not General, madcap, undisciplined, and even not at all creative, and creativity begins to be rejected by young people during service with Lieutenant’s shoulder straps. A real General without a war is stupid. The General’s son will be a General-remember? The dunce dynasty. And this super creative, full of enthusiasm, youthful enthusiasm, he will do something. It would immediately be made because he jumped from the lowest rank to the highest officer corps. He should sit and accept the congratulations of the guests, he is a wedding guest, and he can’t sit still.
Furthermore, he’s setting up a local war. He uses epaulets to besiege his guests. He’s tired of driving a luxury foreign car in front of their noses. Furthermore, he puts other motorists as spies and selects the oligarchic bread. And it’s very fat! Therefore, the service gets the appearance of a terrible, nightmarish feudal game. For the oligarchs, of course. Not for him. Because he is most likely is a relative of the head of state.
It must say, in peacetime, a civilian or a woman can handle a military position. This is a typical manifestation of market farce.
All these regalia, degrees, and titles all speak of one thing: desire. That there is emotion along with selfishness.
About the strong side of the instinctive-emotional view of the surrounding things, the traditional people’s inability to look into the essence of the title, position, and even profession, leads to the boundless fall of these professions. They were disappearing due to low quality. What remains is the prestige of having a tag, not a profession. Professionals disappear, evaporate in that place – some employees, hypocrites, and ass-kissers. The same ones breed even worse at the bottom. Because there are no more professionals, there are children, children of nature, who “want” and want to be happy in uniform or a suit. Social option: that they occupy a post, it doesn’t matter – they correspond to it, they inhabit it – so they deserve it. And they are respected for it. Respect for the post, for they decide something there, and significant. The more stupid a person is, the more respected they are. And after all, he wants, in the end, to require complete groveling. A slave is a slave. And groveling is a radical form of admiration. Well, no one from the bourgeoisie does not dream of becoming a God for a moment.
Replace God for a couple of minutes and pay off all the enemies-is this not the dream of Philistine dreams? Who says that? That’s right-children, children live like this, and their children, who are called fashionable “journalists” yet, these retell how crazy Western stars go. They are also related. Maybe. Ass-licking administrators, ass-licking secretaries. Assholes writing and broadcasting from the screen are most interested in Jennifer Lopez’s purchase. This is the ceiling of petty-bourgeois interests. Children always need to go to rehab. Does the bourgeoisie need rehabilitation? Why is it not appropriate to transfer it to society? Let’s look at this case on the example of a popular opposition Philistine.
And what about our opposition?
Let’s say our local oppositionist once dreamed of becoming someone as a child. Then, as a teenager and a young man, the “dream” was vulgarized – it was corrected by society’s values, the community in which he lived. Their environment has replaced romance. The worse the conditions of past life and material conditions, the greater this dream-not a dream at all, but a desire, has become a goal.
We remember that the bourgeoisie wanted to walk in a rich suit in the elite quarter, to stand next to the rich. (And the entire population can dream of becoming rich, for nothing that on local TV channels always there is an advertisement for the pleasure of Western oligarchs and their next girlfriends.
Have to define this population as petty-bourgeois, who do not have values, in simple terms, collective farmers with requests. They flooded the city and came to the city center in expensive suits (option for an expensive car rolled). They didn’t become someone. They just realized themselves. Removed the space complexes they won’t build any more cities. The more villages, the more villages. To those architectures came the end. Only the centers will be equipped for other fun. They have to not only take off mental complexes but also forget it, right? They associate the center with joy and ostentation. Different types of activities and industries will probably fall into disrepair. Wishes are realized – here they are already in the offices! The motto remains: “live and enjoy, don’t worry! “We will make our relatives, acquaintances and friends professors and writers, singers and poets, point a bunch of cameras at them, draw a big advertisement, invite – not for free – some group of Western stars, they will sing to us for a lot of money. Who should be embarrassed?
Why can’t this trouble-free, fabulously easy mood (with the realization of desires) go to the crowd? And the mood changes. And it is transmitted to the crowd below. That’s why it’s a traditional society. Someone sneezed from above, and there was an epidemic from below. All after all – “suburban” Philistines are infected with all the diseases of the elite. The lower the status, the stronger the passion to get infected-this is the law. Conscience, morals, laws, they killed with their desires. “We will buy all departments, studios, mantles, courts, operating rooms and editorial offices” – the first second, second third, third fourth echo: we will buy! We are not interested in the standard. We are interested in the external outfit, being, and form, which is cool. In politics-we are like the elite. Rudeness is our standard. We are a big easy crowd. (And if it is also ethnic? Related to an ethnic group?)
Childhood.
We got a little distracted from the so-called oppositionist. Who in his youth “dreamed” of getting out in people. Unfortunately, some categories of citizens have mundane dreams. In some ways romantic, but the closer to the goal, to life, all vulgar. Here it “got out in people”, got through into politics.
Now he can tell the news from the collective farms or the station, even from the sidings. The problem: the higher he climbed, the more influential and “wider” his “childhood” became. Travel -the homeland will always come to him in a dream. In children, some successes, let’s call them children’s exploits, cause asking, in another way, lifting their noses in front of others. For a while, they live on this glory or its remnants. If a traditional person, even a literate Zeref gets a position, he lives it, lives well, lives with authority and fame; his family does not suffer. He often remembers his poverty. And he is naturally vain; his adventures are natural. No one knows that a natural person needs more fame than food. The more authority he has, the better off him and his family live. Even now, he has to be visible all the time, on the surface all the time. Otherwise, he will dream about traveling again at night. Absolutely, or he’ll lose it all. Therefore, the so-called opposition in natural society is full of such people who have made mistakes. They get to the siding directly from the train. They fall from the clip, from the system, from the prestigious and expensive cars.
Furthermore, they were all or should have been in power. But the government will not take them back. No one from these former provincials wanted to return to the old road trip. They won’t understand it. Without power, they will have no authority. As one substance, they do not sink, and everyone knows that is the “opposition” here or so-called. They jump into another “opposition” car. And then they take a chair there, sit on the boss’s chair in opposition. They are picking up new servants who are ass-kissers and incompetents to make them dumber. So the opposition turns into an Asian opposition without hints of a democratic culture. They are now engaged in feudal degradation in opposition.
What happens to a former provincial when he gets into government or parochial government? At first, he just demolishes his natural nature. This is called a value shock or a blow to the pillars of the vanity. He is like an artist now, and he will always miss the height if he falls from the top of power. Outwardly, this is not reflected and is not immediately visible. And that shock is not enough. Did everyone see the expression on the Asian official’s face? He’s all arrogant, and it’s just rushing from him from all sides. You can’t force him to return to earth (to travel) by any force now, except for falling (due to the activity of our wedding General of opposition, for example). But this past elevation cannot forget. The height already lives with him for the rest of his life. It will fart, jump out and stand like a shadow in unexpected places, in most cases inappropriate and, after retirement, expulsion from the queue for power. Let’s assume that such an” oppositionist,” but he’s pushing hard and arrogant… It’s pointless now. He is only an oppositionist – just like everyone else, he is an outcast. Everyone knows that, but not him. He’s still there. He makes himself an unexpected throne, the boss’s chair from boxes and other devices (as in childhood), takes a new pose, climbs higher in the room among other oppositionists, that he is higher and here. The origin of a rural man takes its toll. He is back on the throne of opposition planks. So, he believes in all seriousness. And it always wants to “stand by” the Genevese now. Because he often goes to Geneva to visit the European Democrats. He is a Genevese, almost in reality, and you are collective farmers. These are just old natural show-offs. Can this right be taken away from him? No. Because it is impossible to take it away – childhood is not given away. He wants to go to Geneva all the time, similar to when he was a kid, and he wants to go to the city on a passing train. This is another of his childhood fantasies. To then spread the tail in front of the other children.
But no. He immediately builds himself a throne out of any pose and material.
Well, let’s say he considers himself superior to others. Why, they weren’t as high up as he was – in the middle of the city! The General Secretary there or the co-Chairman, or the press Secretary of the disgraced Prime Minister. They, his fellow party members – again “provincials” even next to his self-made throne. Now it can go to another “city center”, for example, the real center of the European city of Geneva. He takes a trip to the summit of the European Parliament and hangs out among the pure and fragrant parliamentarians. And you all stayed in the suburbs.., that is, in his small homeland – in Terra incognita, somewhere among the snotty boys of the village.
Conclusion: the emancipation of social “children” harms the opposition cause. This means they will always be with their complexes in the “city center”. Even in politics, they will assert themselves and rest on their laurels.
Chapter II
In search of the elder
The contradiction between the modern shell and the archaic stuffing, when internal combustion engines are around, and at the same time public offices and post are being sold. It is solved. There is linear parallel coexistence of the external and internal world. However, he seems to be there as two of the ski from the skier. One ski is modern, the other is ancient, but it is also a ski because it slides. After all, the skier or the traditional society still goes.
