The flower of the patriotic intellectual right: Against logic and common sense

These days we could see who rushed to write columns for the portal Russia today Balkans (in Russian) Russia today): the flower of the Serbian patriotic intelligentsia. As Teofil Pančić would say, the surprise is complete.

The team of dark-obsessed "Seal" and its surroundings just stepped deeper into darkness and darkness. And yes, where would you? Not at the barricades of enlightenment (far from it)? Therefore, when our patriotic team does not solve biological doubts and fights against the "ideology of homosexuality", when it does not beat other people's devices on the hawthorns and advocates idiotic ideas about joining Kosovo to Serbia, when it does not prove that the Earth is a flat plate or something equally meaningful, it se, that lovely group of citizens, that's it, giving themselves to the spread of Putin's propaganda.

And Putin (Vladimir Vladimirovich) is the ruler of a country in which, behold, the said citizens neither pay taxes nor live in it. In their understanding of reality, however, that's just fine. If, in contrast to them, you do not sympathize with mass murderers and tyrants (either Serbian or Russian), and what is even worse, you stand for values ​​such as freedom, for example, then you are nothing, a traitor, a bastard and, in general, a fag . It's a bit crazy, but if reality doesn't bind you then it's possible.

The team we are talking about here obtained, namely, a deed of patriotism, so it tirelessly explains to us the difference between real and fake Serbs. A true Serb, namely, has to worship a despot (preferably a Russian one). A fake Serb fools himself with tricks like freedom, for example. Here it is worth paying attention: the lovely group of citizens who write for Putin's propaganda magazine do not stand for any civilizational values. If freedom, for example, were important to them, or any principle, after all, they would have nothing to feed Putin's cannibalistic propaganda: in Russia, if anyone missed it, only Putin is free. Members of the clerical right, quite frankly, have a very casual attitude towards logic, meaning and reality.

It is impressive, therefore, to what extent the said team is not bound by logic, the sequence of arguments, the relationship to reality or truth, and they have an obvious problem with common sense, which says that two things cannot be valid at the same time - something, namely, either is or it is not, there is no third - but also with metaphysics as a serious discipline that tries to understand what stands, as the word itself says, above or behind physics. Let's say, one of the members of the hard-right clerical team does not distinguish between the declaration of war and the war itself (which is a distinction that common sense makes without difficulty, just as it distinguishes between the threat of beatings and the beatings themselves), so he offers us an analogy between the two phenomena , all while trying to obscure an equally common-sense insight: Putin attacked Ukraine, not Putin's Ukraine. The feather count, I guess, that we are all idiots. And maybe a man, as a metaphysician - as someone who cares about the state, gender, cosmos, God, Putin, eternity, and not some little things like people's lives - is actually unable to understand that Putin invaded the territory of Ukraine and that there it kills and destroys, but it seems to him that, in fact, it is the other way around.

On the other hand, even when he resorts to quoting arguments, he is not able to put the historical phenomenon in a certain context and try to understand it in that way, instead he flaunts information as he sees it. However, in that murky and dark world, the absence of elementary logic and the harsh non-recognition of reality is an advantage, not a disadvantage. Namely, if reality is ignored, then literally anything is possible. For the Earth to be a flat plate, to defend the interest of a despot who destroys both neighboring and own countries with equal intensity, with excellent chances of expanding his campaign to the entire world. Or, let's say that there are airplanes flying in the sky that throw out poison and poison us. It is also possible to blame the attacked country for the attack, which is the same logic as the rapist's logic: it is not the rapist's fault that the raped woman has such attractive legs and also wears a short skirt. Literally. As, after all, at one time the Jews also annoyed Hitler greatly, so who is to blame?

For our team of propagandists, the fact that Russia is a dark despotism does not play any role, and they do not take this circumstance into consideration, since freedom is... what is freedom, fellow clergy-nationalists? We are denied that answer, of course, so we will offer it ourselves: freedom is what Putin says. So you see.
