Alarmist ordered? .. (Poll)
The ghost of neo-Stalinism walks around the country! Wai-wai-wai! Putin has returned to the presidency, and now he is trying to retain his power with Stalin’s methods! Wai-wai-wai! Freedom of speech is smothered with dirty hands by those in power! Wai-wai-wai! The West teaches us, and we, the ignoramuses, cannot learn the lessons ... Wai-wai-wai!
This is a summary of the main materials with which today's excessively democratic press is replete. If any person, having “walked” on the Internet, opens a dozen or two sites, then ultimately it will turn out that at least one of the above “people's fears” appears on most. At the same time, people whose mind is frankly clouded with such rampant alarming do not even always try to ask: but if freedom of speech is so strangled and Stalinism has cleared up in full, then why are these materials so actively filling the Global Network as the forest is filled with mushrooms after the rain?
The answer here is simple: it's all about the typical laws of the psychology of managing large groups of people. Human psychology is arranged in such a way that it will react much more actively to sharp and ambiguous stimuli than to more calmly presented information. This psychological dominant sometimes comes to frightening manifestations when, on the one hand, there are shouts “Everything is gone - you have to dig a hole and dig deep!”, And on the other hand, it’s suggested “To urgently dig up the first ones and dig them in by yourself in the specially designated places” .
There are plenty of examples in our country today of frank alarmism, which obviously aims at nurturing the unhealthy psychological state of society. And, to be honest, here, people who identify themselves with the government, and the opposition can even find points of contact, trying to achieve completely opposite results. You do not need to think that this is purely political issues. After all, we have, in fact, any question, even if it is a poor harvest of cucumbers in a single plot or an upset stomach in a giraffe at the zoo, can be put into a political plane with surprising ease.
Cucumbers are not ugly - it is necessary to look for the guilty in Roskosmos, whose spacecraft when they entered (or rather absenteeism) into orbit, they shed something on the dacha.
The giraffe rumbling in the stomach-this is exactly Putin's fault. Who else ??? Only the anti-popular laws of his party brought the poor animal to such a life ... But after all, a giraffe would run along the savannas, a progressive oppositionist (like Eduard Limonov) would sit in power - everything would be completely different ...
Why are there savannas and summer cottages. Here is a very recent and more, let's say, a tangible example - the London Olympics. If you remember what words only sounded to the address of our Olympic team in the first days of sports competitions ... They say this is a great failure of the entire national sport. Medals from Russia, they say, if they win, then only Dagestan judoists.
At the same time, the same people declare that Russian society today more than ever needs to consolidate. So let me? And representatives of Dagestan have no right to be called Russian citizens, or what? Or the gold medal of the Somali runner, who received a British passport, is more expensive than the medals won by Dagestan athletes ...
Runet, savoring the failures of Russian athletes, blunted with loud headlines. “Go ahead,” and “Putin is to blame for the failure of the national team!” And this is the most innocuous thing that could be read about our athletes and those who, it seems, were responsible for their preparation. And in the arguments about the failures that pursued the Russian team, most often hit those who recently had the longest running distance was the distance from the refrigerator to the TV with an open bottle of beer and a hamburger (or shawarma) ...
However, the farther the Olympics went, the less was the ability of the notepad alarmists to demonstrate their skills to tune the public to the utter negative. 82 medals, of which 24 "gold" - is the result that surpassed Beijing, and at the same time forced to reduce the turnover of persons eager for revelations. But still there were voices that, well, they say, before our country could win both 40 and 50 gold awards. Well, then the country was called differently ...
By the way, if you sum up all the awards that athletes from the republics of the former USSR have won, then you will have as many as more 160 awards, of which 47 are gold ...
This time, the alarmist had to correct their positions, take the "horsemen of the Apocalypse" back to retraining, and wait for new opportunities to deliver their blow in the style of "Everything is lost!" The slogans that the Kremlin was to blame for the "failure" of the Olympians of Russia had to roll up and put in long black tubes, so as not to fade before the Sochi Olympics - you suddenly need to turn them back ...
In addition to the Olympic example, there are others. What is worth at least a "reprisal with individuals disagreeable to the authorities." Under these "undesirable" put up "the main adherents of the Russian democracy" - now the "world-wide" famous punk band, consisting of three clearly under-examined girls (and not that absolutely girls ...)
Although in this case it is worth recognizing, the authorities themselves decided not to lag behind the ardent opposition-alarmists - they simply gave an excellent excuse for the latter to use all their talent to show "progressive humanity" how the "Kremlin stifles free speech." Well, if freedom of speech has become perceived in the form of excesses against the background of Christian shrines - then, of course ... After all, there is no point in arguing with supporters of such a “freedom of speech”. If in the US, mad priests burn the Koran with the exposure of the entire Muslim world, this does not mean that other countries of the world should strive for such democratic “freedoms”.
The trial of PR, and PR itself, today turned into a mockery of religion, and a mockery of jurisprudence. If we are guided by the precepts of our ancestors, then for these girls it would be enough to have five biting blows from the “all-forgiving” whip of a church guard - so that the faith in the girls would be strengthened, and others would not be attracted to the “adventure” in the temple ”. You look, and the judge would not have to sweat at the trial, the paper would have been saved by the prosecutor’s office, and the Russian people would have been spared from contemplating the bony backs of some pop singers with “democratic inscriptions”. Well, now everyone needs to bring the matter to the end, so they exercise who is ready for anything.
The next idea of alarmists: the iron curtain is falling on the borders of Russia. Some NGOs have received or will soon receive the status of foreign agents, an article has been introduced for slander, some have even fled abroad, having grasped, of course, millions earned by honest and overworking. And many supported the idea: “Exactly! Curtain falls! We need to run somewhere, do something! Maybe inquiries about how Lyudmila Alekseeva and her closest associates ran back and forth in due time ... "
Some publications even refer to the words of Sergey Stepashin, who, they say, said that in the last three years 1,25 had emigrated a million people from Russia. At the same time, all these people who left are completely businessmen and middle-class representatives ... And where so many businessmen stretched themselves — entire hordes — like locusts ...
True, VTsIOM, for some reason, has completely different numbers: every year, no more than 45 thousand people abroad decrease from Russia for permanent residence abroad. It returns even more ... If you multiply this number (45 thousand) by three (years), then you need to allow a very large approximation to reach 1 million and 250 thousand emigrants. The same VTsIOM provides materials according to which the number of those who do not want to leave Russia in the same three years has grown to 88-89%. Back in 2009, this figure was no more than 75%.
All these facts only confirm the idea that “mass psychosis” is a complicated thing. Not every person, when shouting “Fire!”, Has enough psychological strength and reason to look around and realize that there is simply a written alarmist in the crowd who has his own task. In the meantime, many of us will not have such forces, for a long time we will succumb to primitive provocation and blame the Kremlin, the ROC, the bloodthirsty aliens for the fact that our milk ran away ...
