The people firmly, unanswered and unshakably consider not deserving of direct conversation

Yesterday I returned to the time of my unforgettable youth, when there were two independent realities: the reality of TV and the reality of life. So I sincerely thank the party and the government for returning to youth.

Yesterday I went to the Lenin Hills. I went by metro because I wanted to walk in good weather from our village to the terminal station. And when I returned, I was slightly surprised by the abundance of people on the metro: like Sunday, where and where are they going from?

In the evening I watched the news, moreover, two pieces: NTV and Channel 1, while doing small household chores. I was already getting ready to go to bed, but for some reason I opened the computer. Bah! It turns out that huge protests against corruption took place in Moscow, the slogan "Dimon will answer." Navalny was detained, and several hundred more people were tied up. LJ is full of amateur reports. Similar events took place in many cities of the country.

And TV has its own life. Moderate goodness is interspersed with nerve-tickling crime. Samoilova, a disabled woman, was not allowed to participate in Eurovision. Here is a detailed, almost minute by minute, story about how Voronenkov was soaked in Kiev. Putin's meeting with Marine Le Pen. Here the helicopter crashed. And nothing else seems to have happened. If the electorate watches TV, they will fall asleep. The idea that everyone is doing nothing but surfing the Internet is greatly exaggerated. Many of my saleswomen just started using the Internet when they needed to enter their personal account. And so - is there a little TV?

At the same time, derogatory comments about the event and its participants appeared in LiveJournal under the heading "promo". That is, the authorities are not sitting idly by: they are trying, working, conducting an information war. Everywhere there are solid technologies, they will not say a word in simplicity.

The people are firmly, unanswered and unshakably considered not deserving of direct conversation. Only agitprop, PR - in a word, manipulation of consciousness. There are high-tech manipulations, like the ones that Trump used, when everyone was sent out ideas that were close to his mind and mentally comfortable. And there are oak and straightforward manipulations due to the low qualifications of the manipulators. Like the ones we use. But all of them were and remain manipulations, and not direct, serious conversation about what is happening. And why is there any surprise that the people are calling on Stalin, remembering his "brothers and sisters." Was it really salty then? Yes it was. And today we are heading for that which will be salty. Especially if you continue to pretend that nothing bad is happening and in general everything is going according to plan.

Nowadays it is generally not customary to approach people with a word of truth. Not accepted anywhere. The approach is businesslike, in the sense that it is peculiar to business. And in business there is an old English proverb: "They get lard from pigs, and money from people." And votes are obtained from voters. They are not good for anything else and are not interesting to anyone.

Is that why people do not speak directly and openly with the people, that they will not understand? He will understand a lot. The main thing is to understand. I work with a lot of ordinary people and this is what I noticed: with the stupidity of certain individuals and their readiness to get involved in any layout, the mass of these smallest people have a kind of collective intelligence that cannot be reduced to the arithmetic sum of individual minds. So do not think, comrade bosses, that we will understand nothing at all and that we should be treated as if we were terminally ill old women in a nursing home - with official optimism and strictly manipulatively.

It must, I must say frankly and openly about the situation in the country, in the economy in the first place. And the people will understand. But after all, having said, we must act! A capable government is needed, capable of leading things towards building a productive, not a parasitic economy. A plan is needed. And it’s not just difficult, it’s scary. How dreadful it is to take on any big business. But it is no longer possible to continue imitating and manipulating. Otherwise - a collapse.

Corruption, or simply enchanting theft, as Navalny talks about, is only part of the problem. Yes, a thief should go to jail - this is indisputable. But taking stolen goods away from thieves is not even half the battle. It is necessary to move from an economy of division, however fair, to an economy of production of new wealth. Because the cash is still not enough for everyone. And this requires completely different people - at the top and in the field. Those who sit in places of power today are mostly small, everyday people who have settled there to resolve their everyday issues. Where did I get this from? Very simple. A truly big person is simply not interested in personal enrichment. And the current ones are very interesting.

It's also impressive how shamefully our top opignon makers screwed up. The very ones who make news, which shape public opinion, which, forgive me, Lord, the fourth estate and in general are almost the most important people in the modern world, where information is everything. Not a single channel dared to say a word. Do not mind, no - just tell about what happened. And that is to say, they also hunt for money. And what can be more expensive and sweeter today than money? Is that a lot of money.
