Politics – does the common man need it?

“I avoid any political controversy,” admits Lyudmila, 44, an emergency doctor. – My student years coincided with perestroika, I had so much hope and inspiration! I lived with the feeling that I could change something, but I no longer believe in it. And I don’t go to the polls.” Where does this disappointment come from? Because of politicians? Because of their promises, which often turn out to be false? Because of the corruption that most of us face? Of course, the words and deeds of many politicians do not contribute to the active involvement of citizens in public life, but our loss of interest is not only due to this reason.
For what? Psychologists consider the refusal not only to engage in, but even to be interested in politics to be quite logical. “Disappointment and resignation largely arise from the lack of results from our social activities, notes psychologist Inna Shifanova. – This is exactly how motivation functions: any action generates consequences; if they are pleasant, our brain notes it; if they are unpleasant, he urges you to abandon it.” We believe that we can influence the life of the society in which we live, we go to a march or rally, we vote, but the situation about which we actively expressed our opinion does not change for the better. Or even getting worse. This is difficult to accept, “because in such moments we again experience the feeling of powerlessness that we first experienced in childhood,” explains psychologist Yves-Alexandre Thalmann. “Back then our parents asked our opinion, but in the end they did not take it into account.” As a result, as in childhood, we again feel frustration and anger in the face of a system that does not recognize us as thoughtful and responsible people.
My experience
Fedor, 41 years old, graphic designer
“In 2000, I decided not to vote anymore. I thought that the whole policy was a huge scam. But this summer, when fees were introduced major renovation, this touched me to the quick. I realized that politics is not something that happens somewhere out there, but this very money that we were obliged to pay right now for something that will happen in 15 years, and it is still unknown whether it will happen at all. This seems unfair to me, and this is what I intend to fight and am already preparing a lawsuit. Because if we accept everything without complaint, then it turns out that we ourselves are voluntarily abandoning civil society.”
I don't know what to think. These days it is difficult to form a definite opinion on almost any subject in which we are not experts. “We have access great amount information, but does it help you form your opinion? – asks Inna Shifanova. - Let's take any topic. For example, nuclear energy: how safe is it? Experts are still arguing and cannot agree with each other. So what should we think about this? And some of us come to the conclusion that it is better to stop thinking altogether.
This is too difficult for me. Politics is directly related to the state of financial markets. Without the ability to follow trends in the market and understand its patterns, many of us cease to be interested in this side of social life, but not in social life. “It’s difficult to feel involved in macro-social structures that are too far from us,” continues Inna Shifanova. “To be involved, you need to understand your connection to the microsocial level.” This is where our weakness. No matter what civic position we take, prices continue to rise, while oil and the ruble continue to fall. In this situation, many prefer to abandon any attempts to comprehend their position and devote their efforts to private tasks: improvement own life and the life of your family.

What to do?
Participate in common affairs
"I'm just a drop in the ocean..." Perhaps such a thought might give up. But the sea is made of drops. And we can, to the best of our ability, take part in actions that will lead to tangible and useful results. This will trigger the reward system in the brain and regain the desire to act.
Act for the sake of others
Any action, no matter how small, in the public interest can be considered a political act. Our job is to take responsibility again and find how and where to apply our strength. For example, we can give our time, money, skills within the framework of any association of volunteers or philanthropists. Do we know what opportunities exist at the local level to take initiative? Have we used all such opportunities?
Live out your values
To understand who we are, it is necessary to understand which group we belong to, what our values are (for example, solidarity, equality of opportunity, tolerance, social justice). We can build our lives in harmony with them in our family and with loved ones and pay attention to how they are embodied in the society where we live.
In some ways, the party's worldview is more successful
everything was instilled in people who were unable to understand it.
They agree with the most blatant distortions
reality, because they don’t understand all the ugliness
substitutions and, with little interest in social events,
don't notice what's happening around them. Lack of understanding
saves them from madness. They swallow everything in sight, and then
what they swallow does not harm them, does not leave
sludge, just as a grain of corn passes through
undigested through the bird's intestines.
George Orwell, "1984"
In the distant kingdom, the thirtieth state, there lived one woman who was very, very apolitical. No matter how you start a conversation with her about politics, she immediately starts to wince and turn up her nose. And he will make such a sour face that everyone around him will completely discourage the desire to talk about politics. Even her neighbor Arnold Ippolitovich, an elderly professor, tried to reach her political consciousness. It happened when it started to fill my ears:
- “How can you be so apolitical!? Yes, there is nothing more important in the world than politics! Our lives depend on it! Corruption and arbitrariness of officials reign in the country! And we have no democracy at all! AND civil society not developing! And the judicial system is rotten! What about the economy? So this is absolutely terrible! Oil needle... industry is in decline... business is being squeezed out... science has degraded... and education... and medicine... and housing and communal services... blah-blah-blah... blah-blah...”
- “You are a smart man, Arnold Ippolitovich. And you speak very smoothly. What do you mean by this policy of yours? Some kind of democracy, economics, corruption... Complete abracadabra. I'm not at all interested in politics. And I don’t have time, there’s too much to do. Go to work, cook some food, clean up the house... There is only one joy left in life - watching TV before bed. And everyone knows that there are swindlers in power in our country. But nothing depends on us anyway! It was always like this, and we didn’t know any other life. Well, to hell with this policy of yours... My head is swelling... It’s better not to touch it at all - less problems will. You'll see, it will sort itself out somehow. It's like our president good man, not like these crooked deputies. Previously, there was a drunkard over there, then a dwarf... But this one at least looks like a human being! God willing, he will restore order..."
And the woman also had three sons. The eldest was just drafted into the army. The middle one studied at the institute. And the youngest was finishing school. And the woman raised them in her own image and likeness - just as apolitical. She instilled three main rules of life in her children from the very cradle:
- Mind your own business.
- Always do what your elders say.
- Don't worry, it will only get worse.
And all the normal people of this wonderful country were also apolitical and honored the three sacred commandments. Only Arnold Ippolitovich and a small group of supporters showed an unhealthy interest in politics. They loved to hold all sorts of protest rallies. And they spoke out against corruption and for fair elections. However, the rallies were of little use. People looked at all this without much interest and even with contempt. All you could hear was:
- “Idlers have gathered at their rallies again... It would be better if they went and worked... I suppose they are worth the money... Normal person Would it be possible to do this kind of garbage for free?.. Hey, how much do they even pay?! How much is the Motherland being sold?! There are rumors about you that you are all spies and agents of foreign countries... It’s not in vain that all this, oh, not in vain!.. There is no smoke without fire...”
Until one day, all the news outlets on TV were overwhelmed with breaking news. They say that in a friendly state they came to power very bad people and started doing very bad things. And the bastards got so bad that they started putting good people in cages, killing them with gas, and making clothes and lampshades out of leather. And one girl in live swore that she was eaten alive before her eyes infant. Yes, according to at least, everything was presented. And now the sacred duty of all residents of the distant kingdom is to help everyone good people kill all the bad ones. Until the bastards made their way to us. And in general, it smacks of the influence of the insidious Abroad.
These horrors made viewers' jaws drop completely. Of course, they themselves had not been to the neighboring state and did not see anything with their own eyes. But they believed what was on TV without looking back. What else did they have left? They were not interested in politics, did not understand what was happening and could not distinguish truth from lies. And here such respectable people are broadcasting from television screens, in jackets and ties from overseas... And they speak so beautifully, so confidently, you can really hear them. They burst out in every possible way, gesticulate with their hands, and their eyes sparkle like those of the blessed. And every remark - applause from the audience. And then immediately news, video footage, accompanied by epic music, with all sorts of special effects, with comments from experts, eyewitnesses and clairvoyants. And so day after day they drip on the brain. Well, how can you not believe it? So everyone believed it.
Well... Except for Arnold Ippolitovich. He didn't like TV at all. In addition, he was interested in politics and understood something about it. And he even personally went to a neighboring country to see everything with his own eyes. The old professor knew that they didn’t put anyone in cages or gas them. It’s just that the president of the distant kingdom is looking for a reason for a military invasion of a neighboring state. He wants to make money for free. But the people from this war have seen only misfortune and ruin. Arnold Ippolitovich was very indignant, gathered like-minded people, and they decided to organize an anti-war rally. And in the evening the professor came to see his neighbor, an apolitical woman. I told her my vision of the situation, and even invited her to the rally. And she suddenly says to him in an inhuman voice:
- “Oh, Arnold Ippolitovich, what are you saying?! Have you really been brainwashed too?! But I said, don’t go to these rallies, they’ll lure you into a sect! There they spray drugs and psychotronic rays! I know about these gatherings of yours, they told everything about you on TV! How do leaders receive your money from abroad in order to put our enemies in power! They want to put us in cages, gas us, and turn us into lampshades, just like in the neighboring country! You have spies and traitors alone at these rallies! And you, Arnold Ippolitovich, have been recruited! As for the war, I will only be glad if the president sends in troops! And he will do the right thing! To crush these reptiles who are spreading their tentacles onto our land! God grant that the president sends in troops, I will now pray for this every day! Yes, I would strangle these bastards with my own hands!!!”
But the most interesting thing is that in the heat of patriotic frenzy, our heroine completely forgot that one of her sons is now serving in the army. Meanwhile, God heard her prayers: the president quietly sent troops into the neighboring country, quietly, without unnecessary publicity. So the eldest son was already firing with all his might at living targets from a combat machine gun, without even inquiring about the strange circumstances. It’s not his job to understand the orders of the command. He silently continued to do everything that the “elders” said, even when his wounded friend fell dead before his eyes. Of course, the guy felt that something clearly illegal was happening. After all, war was not officially declared. But he didn’t protest. Why make a fuss if it gets worse? In short, the eldest son fulfilled his mother’s wishes until the very end. Therefore, a week later he returned to her home with a load of 200 in a large zinc coffin.
But everything could have turned out differently if Arnold Ippolitovich had come to the anti-war rally more people. History knows how once pacifist demonstrations already stopped a war in distant countries and saved thousands of lives... But no.
I think it is unnecessary to tell how much grief my mother experienced. For a long time she knocked on the thresholds of all sorts of departments to find out about the fate of her son. But no answer was given anywhere, citing a lack of information and authority. And then people in civilian clothes showed up at her house and had a long explanatory conversation. They say there was a training exercise and an accident occurred. Perhaps there was a planned terrorist attack. But it’s better not to talk too much about what happened. In the interests, so to speak, of state secrets. And they handed over a stack of money. The woman wanted to throw this pile in their faces... But she got scared. People in civilian clothes were very much afraid in the distant kingdom. After all, there are two more sons, God forbid anything happens to them... And she took the money. And she swore to remain silent. And she even sincerely believed everything that was said in order to calm her conscience. They buried the eldest son quietly. It was as if he never existed.
And the war continued, although the president still did not dare to announce it openly. For she turned out to be not at all fast and not victorious. The war consumed more and more resources, leaving less and less for farming. A deep crisis has come in the distant kingdom. Money depreciated, prices soared, and widespread unemployment began. The quiet life has come to an end, hungry times have returned. Just look, food riots will break out...
Suddenly, our heroine’s middle son began to get seriously ill. A good medicine They didn’t produce it in the distant kingdom; they had to buy it from abroad, and for a lot of money. The family’s money situation was getting worse and worse; there was barely enough left for food. We had to be content with domestic import-substitution products of very mediocre quality. Why did the patient’s condition worsen every day... Plus constant malnutrition... In general, death came for the second son.
In fact, the woman had a chance to stop the repetition of the tragedy; she could publicize the death of her first son, raise a huge scandal, and then a mass protest. This would force the president to stop the senseless war... But she made a different choice. You know why.
However, the death of her second son did not teach the apolitical woman anything. She had neither insight, nor rethinking, nor awareness. On the contrary, she began to hate the damned foreign spies operating on TV more than ever. And the propaganda of fear and hatred has already reached its climax. The President, realizing the hopelessness of the situation into which he had driven himself, began preparations for mass repressions. The paranoia grew more and more intense. Denunciations and arrests began. Arnold Ippolitovich had already fled abroad by that time. And the woman, angry at the whole world, lived only with this hatred of imaginary enemies. She saw them as the culprits behind the death of her sons. And she started writing denunciations herself.
Much seemed suspicious at that time. What kind of people hang out almost every evening outside that window? They don’t drink, they don’t sing songs... Don’t go to grandma’s, something is unclean here! It is necessary to report where it should be, out of harm's way... Well, without hesitation, the woman wrote a denunciation to the competent authorities. And that same evening a man in civilian clothes came to visit her. Like, so and so, according to your application, a gang of dangerous terrorists was discovered and eliminated. Thanks a lot. He even gave me a medal. There was just one hitch. It turns out that her youngest son, Vanka, also participated in this gang. He was also swept away, along with everyone else. And, most likely, they will shoot... So our woman, who had not been involved in politics since her birth, finished off last son with my own hands. For entirely political reasons.
Such is the fairy tale with unhappy ending. What morality follows from it - think for yourself, not little ones anymore. As for Ivan - youngest son- so don’t worry about him, he’s still alive and free. He was a cunning guy, smart. At the crossing to the logging site, he slipped away from the convoy, taking his friends with him. Still, those same three rules of life did not take root in him.
On the bank of a taiga river near the border of the distant kingdom, young people are sitting and animatedly talking around a fire. Ivan stays a little to the side, deeply immersed in his thoughts...
What is it worth to take and run away from this hell? The border is right in front of you, open, a couple of steps - and you are free. You no longer have to hide in the forest, always looking around and waking up from every rustle. Forget how horrible dream everything experienced and start with clean slate. Start a family, children, put together a business, build a house... And not know grief until the end of time.
On the other hand, it’s not so easy to just take it and forget... Dead brothers, forced poverty, a stupid act of the mother... How can you live with the thought that the bastards responsible for all this are not only living well, but enjoying abundance and luxury ? And all your loved ones who are still alive will inevitably face a terrible fate in the clutches of the repressive machine? Just give up without a fight, without even trying to break it? Maybe it would be better to die in the last desperate battle? But people won’t appreciate this sacrifice. Only a few whose minds are still alive. Eh... What should I do?
What do you think?

Tajik society continues to withdraw from the political life of the country. Despite the initiatives taken by the authorities to activate young people in society, there is less and less desire at the bottom to interfere in politics based on personal motives, experts say.
Society in Tajikistan, once one of the most politically active in the region, over time shows less and less interest in certain significant events, not to mention reactions to them. British researcher John Heathershaw, in one of his interviews with Radio Ozodi, called the Tajiks one of the most apolitical peoples in the world, justifying his statement by the fact that people are increasingly moving away from politics, avoiding even talking about it. However, such passivity was not always present...
Starting point
A surge in civic activity in Tajikistan was observed in the late 80s of the last century, when the intelligentsia, students and youth showed unprecedented activity in their quest for national revival. It was during this period that the Law on the State Language was adopted, and many socio-political organizations were registered. In fact, at this time the foundations for further healthy political competition in the country should have been formed. However, unfortunately, the high degree of regionalism in the political consciousness of the population did not lead to the desired result, but only increased the likelihood of civil confrontation.
Tajik expert and journalist Nurali Davlatov connects the current apolitical nature of modern Tajik society precisely with the political confrontation between parties and movements of the early 90s. “After the collapse of the USSR, this confrontation escalated into a civil war, which resulted in the deaths of 100 to 150 thousand people,” says Davlatov. In addition to the consequences of the civil war, the expert sees the reasons for indifference to politics in the lack of the necessary political culture, knowledge and the impossibility of realizing personal potential.
Activity under duress
Really, negative attitude to political activity, you can hear from many Tajiks who survived the civil war. However, based on official statistics on turnout at polling stations during the 2013 presidential elections and the 2015 parliamentary elections, the level of turnout clearly indicates the opposite - too much political and civic activity among citizens. So in the elections in 2013, voter turnout was 86.64%, and in 2015 it was 87.7%.
However, according to political observer Khairullo Mirsaidov, who has repeatedly observed electoral processes in Tajikistan, official figures cannot at all indicate the political activity of citizens. “If there had been no pressure and the use of administrative resources at the local level, such a high turnout would have been impossible to ensure.”
Elections in Tajikistan have never been recognized as meeting international standards
Mirsaidov sees main reason political passivity of citizens, in excessively harsh measures taken by law enforcement agencies against those who try to speak out or criticize the authorities. This, in his opinion, led to the fact that people became afraid to talk about politics even at the everyday level.
“Apoliticality is already affecting the lives of citizens. We are seeing a lot of bans from the state. Intervention into personal life is a consequence of apoliticality. People are driven into narrow boundaries because they do not show any political participation,” the expert is sure.
Tightening of legislation
Meanwhile, political participation against the foundations of power in Tajikistan may recently be punishable. In June of this year, the Parliament of Tajikistan adopted amendments to Article 179 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan, according to which calls on the Internet for the public commission of crimes of a terrorist nature and public justification of terrorist activities entail criminal punishment. Experts then noted that the adoption of the amendments is a timely measure, but there is a risk of incorrect interpretation of the law by law enforcement agencies and, consequently, an increase in repressive measures.
Earlier, in May 2018, a resident of the Khatlon region, Alijon Sharipov, who often in social networks liked the videos of the chairman of the IRP banned in Tajikistan, Muhiddin Kabiri. The court found him guilty of committing a crime under Art. 307 Part 2 of the Criminal Code “Public calls for a violent change in the constitutional system of Tajikistan using the media or the Internet.”
“Humility and humility as the main features of political behavior”
Khofiz Boboyorov, a Doctor of Philosophy living in Germany, notes that it is impossible to say that the citizens of Tajikistan are completely excluded from politics. Their political behavior, he said, is dominated by such traits as humility, contentment with their current position and obedience. According to the scientist, these traits can be observed among those in power and those who consider themselves to be in opposition, since the majority of members of both groups are absolutely subordinate to their leaders. He identifies several factors that contribute to passive behavior citizens:
— First, the political behavior of citizens remains not fully formed. Most citizens perceive political participation not as an individual right, but as a collective responsibility; The second is the socio-economic situation of citizens, in particular migrants and other groups, which prevents them from participating in the political life of the country, and receiving financial resources and engaging in certain activities significantly reduces their political and social discontent. Third, the realization that a real alternative to the existing political regime is in a state of infancy and can either appear or disappear altogether.
Not everyone considers themselves apolitical
Speaking about the active part of society, first of all it should be noted students and youth. Exactly this category considered the most socially and politically mobile group, capable of active action. However, there are no alternative organizations defending the interests of youth in Tajikistan, which are in positions parallel to pro-government organizations.
Thus, 2017, according to the decree of President Emomali Rahmon, was declared the Year of Youth. The President, in his speeches during a meeting with young people, repeatedly called on the younger generation to “refrain from joining terrorist organizations and drug addiction, and instead engage in science, art and actively participate in the socio-political affairs of the country.” However, in the political field there are few active youth groups and movements and all of them, as a rule, demonstrate themselves as defenders of the general line of the government and the authorities as a whole. There are no groups challenging any political decision in the country.
The Tajik youth movement "Avangard" is one of the few and, probably, the most active organizations defending the policies of the government and the president. The movement, created in August 2015 with the aim of fighting against the spread of terrorism and extremism among young people, systematically holds meetings with young people, rallies at the embassies of European countries and international organizations against the activities banned in Tajikistan by the IRP and other opposition groups. The leader of this movement, Mardikhudo Davlatov, does not agree with the idea that Tajik society is apolitical. “Today we live in the information age, and young people are fully aware of what is happening around them and they have the opportunity to participate in politics within the framework of the opportunities provided by law,” notes Davlatov. He notes that the idea of creating a movement initially came only from young people and main goal was and remains the protection of the interests of the state and nation. When asked by Radio Ozodi whether the young man is going to build political career, the activist replied that his goal is only to protect the interests of the state and the people.
Thus, most experts are inclined to think that political participation in Tajikistan remains limited to certain ideological frameworks, and attempts to attract young people into social and political life occur with the aim of upholding and protecting the policies pursued by the state. There is no reaction to various political events, be it the adoption of certain legislation or a statement by an official, in the country. The presidential People's Democratic Party of Tajikistan remains the favorite in political and party competition.
In addition to this party, there are six other political parties in the country, five of which are also present in parliament. In particular, in the lower house of parliament, in addition to the party in power, the following are represented: the Agrarian Party of Tajikistan, the Economic Reform Party, the Socialist Party, and the Democratic Party. Three opposition parties - the Communist Party of Tajikistan, the Social Democratic Party of Tajikistan and the then-authorized Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan were unable to overcome the 5% threshold in the 2015 elections. Despite the fact that two members of the Communist Party from single-mandate constituencies entered parliament, the party officially refused to recognize them. From the same year, the IRPT was recognized as a terrorist organization in Tajikistan.
"I am not interested in politics" -
I've heard this phrase in modern world to each.
There is an old saying: “If you are not interested in politics, it will be interested in you.”
Politics is not only component society, politics is life itself, all its social aspects that directly affect our daily existence.
The word “politics” has several meanings, but then, first of all, it is necessary to determine the meanings that are embedded in the words. Even if we consider the first meaning of the word, namely, the activities of state power, it would be strange to deny its influence on our lives, the life of each individual person. And of course, this concerns the second definition of the word - an event in public life. They also affect everyone, unless you live as a hermit in the forest and are not going to become the new Sergius of Radonezh or St. Sarov. However, even in the latter case, you cannot avoid politics, since it was the holy hermits who founded the spiritual centers of Rus', on moral principles which Russia still lives today. For those who doubt this, we can recommend studying history home country, which is best and most truthfully reflected in Russian classics, because classics do not depend on the momentary political situation of those who write school history textbooks.
However, how does it happen creative process disinterest and what does it really mean? “Politics is a dirty business. Especially in our country! Injustice is all around! Everywhere and everywhere. Broken roads, thieves in all echelons of power, poverty in the outback! The mouthpiece of the Kremlin propaganda, V. Soloviev, dares to speak contemptuously about the people who came out to the sacred rally for a just cause, for freedom and against corruption - under the banners of... who is there? Navalny - landslide? Yes, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is down with the corrupt officials!”
People “I’m not interested in politics” actually have broken logical connections. They not only do not identify the problems of the state, the land on which they live, with themselves, with their actions, but also in a mysterious way own words about the state's dissatisfaction They do not consider power and its actions to be politics - in this case, look up the meaning of the word again in the dictionary!
We, people, always tend to blame someone else for any problems and misfortunes - society, government, THIS state, although the majority have not lived in other states and get information “by hearsay.” Each of us is white and fluffy. A priori.
The question is not at all about the presence of corruption, and not about what problems our state has in all spheres of life. The question is how a person reacts to problems . How each of us behaves in difficult situations. Life is on its own a difficult situation. Are we waiting for someone to cover our path with roses? Or are we one of those who grow roses? However, the first ones will certainly raise a cry that they were injured by the thorns, and the second ones, scoundrels, did not bother to cut off the thorns.
They built a house, a tree... No, they didn’t build it, they didn’t plant it? Who would doubt that this disgusting, vile state led by the Darkest One did not give any opportunity to build a house! Suffocating with exorbitant taxes! Gives a damn! And indeed, how do those “not interested” know that the tax system in our country is the least burdensome of all? Western countries, and labor legislation, a legacy of the USSR, is simply the best in the world in protecting workers' rights. No, at this point the “I’m not interested in politics” have an outburst of indignation. Why receive at least some adequate and truthful information from reliable sources? After all, there are snippets of rumors, speculation and lies from the Internet - truly fertile ground for indignation. It happens that the indignant sit on the neck of the state that they criticize. Our state is still terrible - it doesn’t want to pay decent benefits to healthy unemployed men - so that you can lie on your bed and spit at the ceiling with a clear conscience.. Grandmothers with a stick, sick people who really need government help and practically do not receive it, however, they don’t go to rallies. And not at all because they can’t - some grandmothers teach at universities until their death, because they are used to working - sowing good, bright, useful things... And for some reason they don’t complain about their meager salaries and pensions... , and they smile when they talk to people.
In modern Moscow, a new subspecies of man has appeared - homo-nedovolusus. Homo-nedovolusus usually live in apartments left to them by their parents, do not have a family, and often do not work, or work, but in a way that is more like “fooling around.”
Try to explain to homo-nedovolus that houses are built not only by corrupt officials, and not only at the expense of others. That the relationship between a man and a woman implies the presence of qualities such as responsibility, sacrifice and respect, and not the satisfaction of emotions at the level of the lower chakra. And in order to plant a tree, it is not at all necessary to beg for alms on the porch.
Normal men don't whine. They are silent. Even when they feel really bad. And it hurts. They'd rather die than whine and blame the world in the monstrous injustice with which he, this bad world, treats them. They are fighting. Business. In words. And even thoughts. But they don’t fight by going to rallies or trolling people on the Internet. They do things silently.
The word corruption has a Latin root. corrumpere - to corrupt, in turn, Latin is rooted in deeper antiquity, and in modern English it sometimes sounds like the phrase: corrupted man nature - i.e. in Russian, “the seed of aphids is in every person.”
Try to explain to “I’m not interested in politics” that the main corrupt official is himself when he does not understand the responsibility for the volume he occupies in space and time. That in the Russian language there is one very apt word that characterizes those who go to “rallies” - infantilism. Our protesters are by no means passionaries. To destroy is not to build and create. Yelling is not giving lectures at the University. Building muscles on exercise machines is not building a house. Indulging your ego with love pleasures is not raising a son. Chatting is not planting a tree.
According to the belief of the infaltina variety of the modern Moscow nedovolusus-" Everything should happen by itself - houses should be built by themselves, sons should be raised by themselves, and everything else in the same spirit". But at the same time, rallies - " our sacred everything". Dear gentlemen, just look at your feet: even cats are not born by themselves.
What will happen to any state when the number of such “nedovolus” in the country exceeds the number of creative people? Decay. That we still exist is almost a miracle. Because "nedovolusus" quite naturally lose their ability to reproduce. And if they multiply, they sow negativity. At the same time, completely unaware of his own contribution to “politics”.
