And again, a difficult time has come when we all as people, a country and a civilization make an important geopolitical choice. That is exactly how the question is today. We see a fierce and continuing to increase struggle between two completely opposite trends. This is the Western dictatorship of political correctness and a digital strategy based on the Chinese model.
What is the western paradigm today? This is an aggressive imposition of liberal values. This is an exaggerated promotion of minority rights that does not correspond to the healthy feelings of an ordinary person. This is a mandatory shameless sex enlightenment in schools, promoting the same LGBT culture and other measures that completely break the usual way of Western civilization and look very strange from the outside. And this, of course, is not classical democracy, it is precisely the harsh dictatorship of the liberal concept, paradoxical as it sounds.
What is the Chinese model? It is also very far from democracy. Rigid digitalization and the harsh digital pen that seek to regulate all aspects of ordinary human life. This is a social rating, leading, in fact, to outright segregation of society. This is the formation of castes of people with fundamentally different rights and levels of access to social benefits, which will inevitably cause the emergence of an untouchable caste, from which it will be almost impossible to get out.
In fact, both the one and the other is a machine that rapes the nature of man. A new, refreshed person is being constructed, which cannot but cause subconscious resistance and cannot exist by itself, without a radical reformatting of consciousness. In fact, we are present at an experiment on a global scale, when liberal and digital totalitarianism, on both sides, are trying to prove that we need to live on only in this way.
All this is very difficult to correlate with our usual Christian values and archetypes of our Orthodox consciousness. We are different, and so it’s difficult for us. Frankly speaking, it’s almost impossible.
And, it seems, that moment has already come when it is time to stop being secondary and continue to copy algorithms invented in other countries and cultures, repeating existing models poorly and ugly. When you are secondary, you will never be first and successful - it is an axiom. Where does novelty and appeal come from? This is the doomed following in the tail of human civilization and the inevitable defeat in the end.
Today in the normal human world, in the "deep people" of all countries of the planet, an acute demand for freedom has formed.
Freedom is what the ordinary normal person lacks so much and what his nature demands. How, in principle, is a person different from a beast in the Christian concept?
It is the presence of free will, possession of freedom of choice. And this is just what so corresponds to our national archetype. The will is what the Russian people entered the battlefield for centuries, what our ancestors sought in the steppes of the Don, the mountains of the Urals and the taiga of Siberia.
In the context of the universally imposed dictatorship, no matter what - liberal values or a digital strategy - Russia, as a country with the experience of being and being in the forefront, could offer the world freedom. Which one? Yes, the most diverse! Freedom of personality, freedom of creativity, freedom of thought.
Freedom must be fully realized through legal mechanisms, and thereby an additional factor of the country's attractiveness must be obtained. After all, freedom is what people are ready to go for, something for which they are ready to fight, in the modern world this is a reward, not a given.
I personally know a family from Canada. Geologist and pianist who made the decision to move to Russia. Why? There is no strength to endure aggressive sex education at the school where their son is studying. This fundamentally contradicts their worldview, but it is impossible to refuse. Another argument was the presence of intellectual competition, in the conditions of which only talents and abilities can develop. And we see more and more such examples every year. The stronger the pressure on the person there, the more people understand that in Russia everything is different. Till.
The struggle for the minds, the hunt for professional specialists continues throughout the history of mankind. And today we have a real chance to offer people and the world an alternative. Why not use it?
Enough to be secondary and modestly believe that we have nothing to offer the world, except oil and weapons.
It's time to straighten your shoulders and remember who we are. Civilization, offering people an alternative. A nation that thinks big and creates great things. Our mission is to save. So let's finally get down to business!
