Grett Tunberg all the time wants to call Humbert. A simple message with clear associations from Nabokov's Lolita. There is a feeling of an adult shadow that is relentlessly following this teenager, making a script of her actions. And even the shadows of Karabas-Barabas, although it is not Malvina ...
On the other hand, the specter of formidable children from the Lord of the Flies of Golding looms, Burgess's Clockwork Orange is remembered. Like, what is there for the young punks who will sweep us off the ground? .. Youth calls for fighting. So he fights, often by any means, and in this fight the adult world appears to be an enemy camp.
This synthesis of emotions, from Lolita to Orange, usually gives rise to guilt. Adults often feel it in relation to teenage children: they disliked, overlooked, underperformed, plus the world left them imperfect and with a lot of problems. Where the main problem, of course, is man. His ambitions, requests, needs, passions and simply products of life. He has become too wide, a lot of it - that is what arises in various noble and not only forms of desire to diminish. You can radically reduce CO2 emissions by using Cyclone B ...
Adult feelings of guilt in front of children are also mixed with impurities - for example, an elementary sense of self-preservation and concern for one’s own old age, including civilization. Still, these same kids are on the threshold, knocking on the house, not the fact that there will be complaisant. Suddenly, the same Clockwork Orange will be produced or wrapped up as "shortcomings" from Prilepin’s novel "Black Monkey."
All this is quite understandable and obvious. But in our hyper-pragmatic world, the logic is simple: why should the good disappear, when you can use it, make it predictable, get rid of unwanted surprises and put to the service in order to gain the benefits of manipulation ... And children are the best manipulators, not even by themselves, but thanks to those shadows who capture their desires, they indulge and develop in the right direction. After all, it is around them that the entire consumer industry is now built. She manipulates children, and those, in turn, are adults. Such a nested doll ...
In teenage minds you can put any information (for that and the school), give any slogan, ignite any idea. Youth is greedy for this, it is looking for opportunities and bridgeheads for the fight, because the memory of entering the world through the struggle of birth has not faded yet. Hence the passion, exaltation and control. And again: what is good to disappear when all complexes and stereotypes can be adopted? ..
So they make Greta a reference. The modern saint. She and the overthrow of the foundations, and the rebel, and the ideologist, and the stoic ascetic, and the banner of unconditional universal good. It is in her hands the mandate to enter the future. She or her followers will check tickets when the boat of our time reaches the shores of the future. They will be meticulously checked: whoever they will lower Cerberus to, they will push someone into the water. It will be impossible to conceal anything; before it, our civilization will become transparent, with all its sins and vices. Therefore, it is time to prepare for the transition in advance. It will be terrible on the other side, thunder and lightning sparkle there.
From Greta they can very well make an object of a special cult - and they are already doing it hard. Many world leaders vowed with her and showed respect, and now she has also been awarded the international award "For a decent lifestyle." This prize is awarded for active work in the field of environment and human rights. This award is often called the alternative Nobel Prize.
Especially after Greta Tunberg’s iconic speech at the UN summit, she began to be frankly pumped up with many senses, even varnishing the ideal messianic image of a “mockingjay”, which should shock in an imperfect world and direct it along the path of all that is good and bright. In today's world, there is an acute need for authority, otherwise, after Mahatma Gandhi, there’s no one to talk to, not Dmitry Bykov! Feels like? Receive and sign! The fashion for brilliant and vibrant young careers is very popular in show business and pop culture, why not use it in the socio-political sphere, in ecology? Why is Greta Tunberg worse than Britney Spears at the dawn of her career? ..
It must be understood that in any such idolatry and government of thoughts in the global information world, everything is not accidental, everything is not just like that. There is a scenario, as well as a goal, even where this is not obvious.
If scenarios and intrigues are constantly prescribed for Dom-2, what can I say ... Without a scenario, chaos and unpredictability begin, and this is unacceptable. You always need to know which poster Greta Tunberg will come out with. And it’s better to write it to her.
Greta is now in such a status that she can very well organize a new crusade for children, and we will all observe the miracle and shed tears of tenderness with guilt. At this time, someone outside the information field will suffer hardships, drown or fall into slavery. The usual thing.
Such children's crusades are now generally in the trend of manipulative politics. What can I say, if in Russia the most progressive and enlightened political pastors regularly collect them for their understandable purposes ...
In general, this is not the persecution of Greta, but the conversation about the images, meanings and speculations that round dances lead around her. If so, then the "holy and infallible" Greta may well become a weapon of mass destruction. Therefore, you need to know where the fuse is. It is not in vain that after her speech at the UN a ghost of a Vienna artist arose, and in a passionate and angry expression they looked for something cannibalistic. And this is not at all the pathological fears of adults before those who are already on the threshold and are preparing to show their master's rights.
So far, for Greta, as in Golding’s novel, they are constructing a special uninhabited island from which she can begin her ecological campaign. Adults sent her there, but they can also get her out of there. While training as a wrestler, arranging only demonstrations and a demonstration of strength. But you need to understand that the main fights are yet to come. Otherwise, why was this all about? ..
A real teenager, of course, must be separated from the product or brand that is made of it, turning it into something inanimate and acting on the emotional strings. A flint girl, almost the reincarnation of Jeanne Dark, and ecology are an explosive mixture by its effect on the minds, and one can only guess who benefits from it. Ecology in the modern world is something that can produce grandiose disasters in the public sphere, to arrange a redivision of the world.
An example is the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which played an important role in the collapse of the USSR. Here we are not even talking about the catastrophe itself, not about a severe and protracted attack of radiophobia, but about how it was perceived by society and what speculations on this topic were built. And there was a lot of everything, starting from a frank cliche with references to the predictions of Nostradamus and the “Star of Wormwood” - the harbinger of the Apocalypse to the assertion of absolute nihilism in relation to the realities existing in the country: all lies, all deceit, everything imaginary and unreliable, etc. that Chernobyl showed the depravity of the system. This catastrophe was equated with the Stalinist repressions in ecology. Chernobyl was declared an indicator of the country's degeneration, that is, a serious environmental technological disaster was categorically placed in the format of ideology and was not released from there.
And now, before our very eyes, the environmental agenda is not only becoming a poppy and the property of the mass culture, but is leaving on an ideological plane with an extremely harsh dictate. Moreover, the first commandment is quite understandable - through the mouth of a baby, someone’s truths are told ... But humanity must also have the presumption of innocence before Greta Tunberg and her shadows. And it should have a chance not to go with the manipulative system.
