Life-saving refinement

Some of my readers do not tolerate categorical statements in my performance. For example, I can say that all movements known to me, the activities of which (in their opinion) are aimed at changing the world, are “clubs of losers”. Is it categorical? Yes, of course, although it is true, I really think so.

And here's another truth. Any person who expresses his indignation at the prevailing circumstances bears a heavy imprint of slovenliness and irresponsibility, and it is also very likely that he is lazy. The same qualities are inherent in one way or another to all people who take the position of a little person, on whom “nothing depends” and who “cannot do anything alone,” and therefore is engaged in a passive existence, actively defending it with stupid questions such as: “a what can I do alone? , the answers to which he basically does not want to understand, for what reason he believes that there is no answer to them, which justifies his position.

But this approach to assessing other people annoys many: to call a person like that outright is a sloven only on the basis of two or three typical signs. And rightly so! Get angry, gentlemen!

This way you will quickly understand the meaning of what I am talking about, because everyone who gets annoyed has a number of rather interesting properties. But I will keep silent about these properties, you yourself know about them.

So, I decided to make a salutary clarification and fix it on the site. All my categorical statements SHOULD be read with the proviso: "… except for some people" or "… except in situations where I …", as well as with other similar clauses after the comma. Remember how George Orwell was in Animal Farm? - "All are equal, but some are smoother" or, initially it was: "The animal does not sleep in bed", and then clarified: "The animal does not sleep in the bed under the sheets." Well, if one of the readers saw that my statements touched him for a living, for some kind of flaw, then let this reader add a mentally convenient for himself clarification after the comma, which corrects the meaning of what was said so that this hurt person no longer fell under this statement.

For example, if I write that people who drink alcohol are complicit in the premeditated murder of many tens of thousands of people a year in Russia alone, then the drinking reader can clarify: “… except for holidays, meetings with good old friends, corporate events and parties at which increase in wages, and also when it is completely unbearable. Here you go! You can breathe freely, because your position has not shaken, emotional comfort is not violated, and you can read on the text that criticizes the position of unreasonable ordinary people lapping swill for suckers.

Another example: I write that the bulk of the readers of useful resources are consumers of information who read not with the aim of developing and then investing their potential in the development of the world according to their abilities, but with the aim of enjoying participation in something important and useful. assert themselves that they are not the ones who are criticized in useful articles condemning the consumerist lifestyle. The sense of self-worth will be greatly shaken when the reader opens a series of articles on consumers of information and their various sequels (one, two). Ay-y-yay, comfort is broken. Then you need to put a comma and say “… except for those situations when a person is imposed on loans for all unnecessary trash and plows from morning to evening to pay them off, as well as to pay the slave duty on the opportunity to live in consumer-oriented conditions and biologically inadequate environment a large metropolis, created with the aim of more convenient control over a herd of sheep for shearing,and also with the exception of situations when a person did not have a choice and his historically established way of life does not allow him to lift his ass off the couch and look a little differently at the time remaining with him, "but if this clarification is not enough, then you should also enter there: "… and since I alone can not do anything, and in general everything has already been captured and other people will still be ghouls, even if I suddenly begin to engage in socially useful activities, then the fact that I, in principle, like and make VERY USEFUL comments enough to help those who, for some reason, can do more than me. " Well, now the consumer of information can happily scroll through the content further, having already fully proved to himself that he does not fall under the category of consumers.

Well, just in case, mentally add after each of my critical statements a clarification that it does not apply to you, but to some other people, and that you, no doubt, do not have the described shortcomings at all. But other people have it, it's all written about them! And live peacefully on, rejoicing that you are so good.

Friends, use these salutary clarifications and generally adopt this technique, which allows you to clarify any categorical statement if it hurts you and makes your content consumption less comfortable.
