If you are forced to remain silent in order not to go to prison, then you are already living in prison.

The planet is ruled by a bunch of crazy people.

In fact, today humanity is busy destroying its planet for the sake of enriching a bunch of greedy bastards.

You and I are faced with wickedness, lawlessness, and deception every day. People in power lie to us without hesitation. Moreover, any manifestation of not just a counter-position, but at least one’s own opinion, is brutally suppressed. Anyone who thinks differently is a foreign agent and an extremist!

Totalitarianism at its finest. Just bans, fines and inspections. This is what the state is based on.

An ordinary dictatorship implies a monopoly on power of a certain person (behind which stands one or another social, ethnic, religious or some other group). And the state suppresses everyone who encroaches on this monopoly. But everyone else - those who, one way or another, do not commit such attempts - are not interesting to such a regime.

As for the totalitarian system, it is interested in everything! The essence of totalitarianism, whether fascist, Nazi, or communist, fits perfectly into the words of Mussolini: “everything is in the state, nothing is outside and against the state.” Or, in other words, dictatorship requires non-resistance, and totalitarianism requires not only non-resistance, but also complete approval and full support. And enthusiasm for dessert.

Totalitarianism at its finest

Signs of fascism according to Uberto Eco and more:

1. Vivid manifestations of nationalism

The ceremonial display of flags, pride in military achievements, and calls for national unity against this background are characteristically linked with suspicion of everything foreign and with outbreaks of xenophobia.

2. Contempt for human rights

Human rights were devalued - they impeded the fulfillment of the goals of the ruling elite. Using propaganda, such regimes ensured that the population accepted human rights violations and socially isolated and demonized those who were the targets of these violations.

3. Search for scapegoats

One of the most significant common features of fascist regimes was the search for enemies to hold them responsible for their mistakes, distract the population from other problems and channel social frustration into a controlled channel. People who opposed were labeled “terrorists” and treated accordingly.

4. The dominance of everything military

The ruling elite has always identified itself with the army. A huge part of national resources was spent on military expenditures, even if it was difficult to meet the country's internal needs. For these regimes, military power was an expression of national superiority, and they used it whenever possible to intimidate neighbors and increase their power and the prestige of the ruling class.

5. Pervasive sexism

Under fascism, women were seen as second-class citizens and maintained a strong position against abortion. This was reflected in the draconian laws that enjoyed the support of the country's traditional religion.

6. Control over the media

The media under fascism were often under strict control of the authorities and could not deviate a single step from the party line. Methods of control included not only the issuance of permits and access to resources, economic pressure and persistent calls for patriotism, but also threats.

7. Obsession with national security

The national security apparatus served the fascist regimes as an instrument of repression, operating in secrecy and without restrictions. Moreover, any doubt about his activities was branded as betrayal.

8. The connection between religion and the ruling class

Propaganda maintained the illusion that fascist leaders were defenders of the faith and their opposition were atheists. People had the feeling that opposing the elite in power was the same as rebelling against religion.

9. Protecting corporate power

While the private lives of ordinary citizens were strictly controlled, large companies could operate with relative freedom. Corporations not only guaranteed powerful military production, but also acted as an additional means of social control.

10. Suppression of workers' associations

Labor movements were seen as a force that could challenge the political hegemony of the ruling class and the entrepreneurs who supported it. Such movements were suppressed and equated to criminal groups. The poor were viewed with contempt and suspicion.

11. Contempt for intellectuals and art

Intellectual and academic freedom were believed to threaten national security and patriotic ideals. Freedom of thought and expression was condemned and suppressed.

12. Obsession with crime and punishment

The number of prisoners under fascism was very high, while the police received a heroic reputation and almost unlimited power, which led to numerous abuses. To justify expanding the powers of the police, the authorities stimulated the population's fear of criminals, traitors and enemies.

13. Protectionism and corruption

Entrepreneurs close to power used their position to enrich themselves. Corruption developed in both directions: the fascist regime received financial assistance from the economic elite, and the latter received political favors from the government. Members of the power elite often used their positions to appropriate national resources.

14. Election fraud

The supposedly free elections were, as a rule, fictitious. In real elections, ruling elites sought to manipulate candidates to obtain a favorable result.

Remember in Germany from history:
1932 - early 1933: oh, well, Hitler and Hitler, we don’t care, we’re not interested in politics.
1933 - 1935: life became easier for people, there was work, wages were rising, I don’t know who was dissatisfied.
1936 - 1938: finally the country rose from its knees, we regained our authority in the world, we are a superpower, Hitler is great, and Austria and the Sudetenland have always been ours.
1939 - 1941: everyone wants to attack us, they threaten us, they deceive us, and there are plenty of enemies inside, but Germany is above all, we were forced to fight a war, we will be in Moscow in 3 months.
1942 - 1945: war is a difficult moment, this is not the time to criticize a leader, you cannot wish your country defeat, only traitors do this, Hitler knows what he is doing, we must unite.
1946: oh, what a horror, a catastrophe, the country collapsed, but how could we know, we were not interested in politics, we are ordinary people.

Note: “In Ancient Hellas, people who were detached and did not take part in public and political life were called idiots. Idiots did not go to the agora or elections.” It is no secret that the ancient Greeks treated public life very responsibly and called themselves “polites.” Those who avoided participating in politics were called “idiotes” (that is, busy only with their own narrow personal interests). Naturally, conscious citizens did not respect “idiots,” and soon this word acquired new disparaging connotations - “limited, undeveloped, ignorant person.” And already among the Romans the Latin idiota means only “ignorant, ignorant,” from which it is two steps away from the meaning “stupid.”

And stupefied by prayers, sermons, appeals, processions, paintings, newspapers, cannon fodder, hundreds of thousands of people uniformly dressed, with various weapons of murder, leaving parents, wives, children, with longing in their hearts, but with feigned youth, they go to where they are , risking death, they will commit the most terrible thing: killing people whom they do not know and who have not done anything bad to them. (L.N. Tolstoy, “Remember!”).

When the state begins to kill, it always calls itself the Motherland. (August Strindberg)

The people are meat, and the homeland is a meat grinder. Where did the homeland come from?
Do you understand the true meaning of such terms as “Motherland”, “Fatherland”, “Patriotism”?

Different peoples, national groups, sexual minorities, and public organizations have different concepts of the above terms.

There is no single, precise, generally accepted definition of the terms “Motherland”, “Fatherland”, “Patriotism”.

Such words are extremely dubious, abstract and illusory in meaning.

Let's find out how Wikipedia explains all these Fata Morganas:

- Homeland - the place of birth of a person, his origin; Mother country.

- Fatherland - the country in which a person was born and of which he is a citizen; a model of relations between the individual and society, between the citizen and the state, between the individual and the centralized ideological system; place of origin, origin of an object.

- Patriotism - (Greek - compatriot, - fatherland) - a moral and political principle, a social feeling. Wikipedia gives a specific definition of these terms, as far as possible.

But!

These definitions do not coincide with reality.

That fairy-tale, artistic and literary world of heroes and geniuses, gods and soothsayers, princes and dragons, in which the majority of Homo representatives live, cannot in any way be compared with the real world. A world of tyrants and dictators, murderers and rapists, bastards, liars and idiots, senile and weak-minded people, demonologists and palmists, pedophiles and priests.

Whose homeland?
The homeland belongs to the people. Is not it?

Not this way!

It does not exist as a real object or phenomenon. The homeland lives only in the heads of people, but does not belong to them.

And the ruler of the motherland is quite real.

Who is he, the owner?
Political regime.

Throughout the entire development of Russia, rulers, tsars, and autocrats exploited their homeland in games.

More often they put it into circulation during wars.

Stalin and Hitler, starting a war, shouted to the whole country about their homeland and how cool it was to give their lives for it.

Fooled by propaganda, the Russian people went to the front and gave their lives for their homeland.

But my homeland was the Stalinist regime.

A Red Army soldier, having killed one reptile in Berlin, could return home and shoot the Kremlin reptile.

But no!

He obediently returned to his shackles.

In 41-45, the Soviet people, thinking that they were giving their lives for their homeland, died for the regime.

He died for the opportunity to write denunciations against each other, rot in camps, and wallow in execution pits.

Conclusions:
The homeland does not exist as something real. This is a beautiful word invented by the regime and the hoodlit, adjusted to social and normative values. Used for meaningless, stupid, idiotic entertainment.

And your debt to your homeland is the most common manipulation of people on a state scale, and nothing more, through the deliberate intensification of feelings of guilt for any seemingly plausible reasons, because a guilty person will always make excuses in order to cleanse his soul. The state deliberately instills a sense of guilt among the population, while not providing them with even the most necessary things. The main thing for the state is that it continues to be able to use its resources for the personal enrichment of a handful of figures who imagine themselves to be gods on earth.

In the dust, in the dust, in the darkness - oh,
What a sad look
Has puppet people,
What's in the chest
And it will lie like that until
Again the master's hand
Open the chest lid
He won't deign!
But then the light plays again
In the glasses of your eyes.
And here you are dancing again -
O long-awaited hour!
So open your mouth wider,
Well, the owner is a puppeteer,
Pulling the strings, he will sing
And he will say everything for you!

(Margaret Weiss - Dragons of the Lost Star)

P.S. The number of Russian billionaires in the Forbes ranking has broken a record in its entire history.

There are already 125 of them compared to 110 last year, Forbes calculated.

+15 billionaires in the country after a year of war and very cruel sanctions)))

The richest billionaire in the Russian Federation is Ukrainian.

Forbes - it’s useful to know about those who really run the country and whose will the president represents.
