What is our strength

Is our strength in our cultural squalor?

part 1. External signs of conservatism

Why there is no democracy in a post-traditional society. Why you can’t build a democracy.

Because traditional people live in a traditional society. There is:

1. Fight for a place. In the traditional world, you need to fight for a place of grace.

Because in a traditional society, the main task is to get out in the people, take the place of honor and hold on to the place of honor as long as possible.

Indirect signs of this behavior.

No boss or VIP person wants to free up space the chair of the chief in any way. From the outside, this can be seen well to the point of surprise. To the extent as in such a society the entire nation ages along with a certain group of elites. If this is a chief, then the time is determined by the era of this leader. Together with the leader, the same politicians (whom the leader has designated as «politicians») age long and persistently and do not want to resign. The same public figures loom on the air and do not disconnect from the public. The same writers write books about the leader and his politicians. The same announcers report what politicians did today, what politicians did yesterday, and what they will do again – usually in bright colors. Or what the court poets write, what marches are played by court composers, what part of the unearthly origin was found on the body of the leader by the same philosophers. Oppositionists talk about the cult, singers sing odes to everyone at once and to themselves, of course, at the same time. Even pop singers don’t want to disappear from the airwaves. They also sing on Patriotic themes during the breaks of pop concerts. The feeling that in a traditional society, literally everyone comes forward with their feet as imitating the first person? (The expression «forward feet» means that the person is carried out through the door when he takes the horizontal position of the corpse).

The entire population steps forward feet.

The tradition of going forward with your feet is total everywhere. If one of the idols of society does not hold out, they will be thrown off, removed from work, competitors will sit out, or they will leave themselves, then they know and everyone knows that no one needs them from that moment, if they actually leave. In fact, from now on, he is no one – not a boss, not a sage, not a philosopher, not a singer at all. No one to sing about, no one to praise, no one to suck up to. Everyone forgets him and passes by, even very good friends stop saying Hello. This encourages bosses, worthless politicians and mediocre singers to sit until the end. Until they are actually literally carried out feet first out of the office.

2. Everyone is busy looking for a reliable host. This is protection from other robbers. «Roof».

People who do not fall into the category of respected, the stars, VIP authorities are always looking for such authorities to hide under their authority. And they want to tell everyone that he is my relative, my friend, he is my idol and I love and respect him very much. I love him for life. Although love is certainly artificial. In a competitive environment of fanatics without a direct relationship, the only way to stand out is to confess unlimited love. Hence the potential accumulation of the cult of each first authority. I’m not even talking about the government, about the people in power, about the leader. Everyone can see it. This is all clear to everyone. The leader is simply doomed to popular love and adoration. Whoever is at the bottom, at the very end of the pyramid, is not interesting to anyone and is despised by everyone.

The leader has the biggest cult potential.

Everyone will confess their love, and others are afraid that not confessing is a crime. If the leader notices that someone does not show active love or the enemies to informate him about unlucky man, then of course he is finished. Not literal. It’s about a career. Along with the market, the love of authority will also grow strongly. The cult will also grow. The field of authority is narrowed to a handful of people and one figure of a leader in the name of the specific goals of each «loving» without looking back. Thus, the meaning of work is not the work itself, not the profession or professionalism, but the expression of love and devotion. Loyalty becomes a mandatory job. Even corrupt criminal offenses are forgiven for loyalty. The category outside the chosen circle and the chosen circle itself is in an eternal search for cover – a roof in a modern way. The father of Nations becomes inevitably greatest protection of the of the entire nation.
