Алмаз Браев – Refag (страница 2)
Hence, the total rudeness, turning into total cruelty, the name of which is at its peak – the Maidan.
No contract
The refags nationalists will not be able to negotiate from greed and ambition as if they recently jumped off the cart. These are all total provincials or cynics, ready to take advantage of the ignorance of the crowd. Zefa-traders cannot agree because they came from the same traditional family (paternal system, and in general, the culture here was and will be paternal). The nationalists and the dealers are the biggest factions of Zefa, but they will not be able to agree because they put their benefit above the general one. Apathetic publicist who has nothing to write about but the deity of Saakashvili, if he exists on grants and wants to see all nationalists in their coffin is an agent of influence. Such white journalist is an idol for all aborigen Zefa. An oligarch who used to be an official and could never be an oligarch without this. He is invulnerable to the authorities. The Refags do not forgive everyone and not everything, but they forgive everything to their tips or beacons. Because an agent of influence can negotiate with himself, even if he drags all the natives who believe him to the meat processing plant, and the Zefas will never agree with each other without him. They can all start expire green foam one day. Let all the water around turn black, and let the air around be poisoned by their poison. But it’s the foam from Zefa’s subconscious over and over again. One day, an impulse of anger can materialize in one place and in one minute. But this minute will be more like the explosion of an atomic nucleus. There is no future from the results of this coincidence of a nuclear explosion. But the Refags will still strive with all the fibers of the Zefa-soul to such an end. As if one mad man in his old age decided to collect ashes in his fist…
Chapter 1
Experienced refags and young zephags
Simple people create a simple society. Complex people create complex societies. The Zerefs create a hierarchical society. The Zeremids are transitional, wherever they are present, form small communities based on their interests – family and clan. That is, the Zeremids, or citizens in the first generation are innate corrupt officials. Isn’t that right? Right or wrong?
So, who are the Refags? Are they the people of market civilization? At first glance, there is nothing complicated about them. But this is at first glance. After all, they form the basis of an open democratic society. The main feature of Refags is not only cunning, hypocrisy, deception but also tolerance. By the way, where does this tolerance come from? The fact is that Refags save money. They are used to saving money. Their great-grandfathers saved money, their grandfathers saved money, their fathers saved and bequeathed to save their children. So, the Refags save on everything, even on emotions. They save vital, spiritual energy. They do not get into a fight over trifles, they argue culturally, and if they argue seriously, then in court, where the same descendants of economists sit and judge them. The Refags are all rational. They even steal rationally. If at all possible. In addition, they are sure that only the savage and the rabble steal. So, these very Refags create a complex democratic society of economists.
But who then steals so dirty? These are just young refags who did not have any market experience. The Zefags fathers were collectivists, the grandfathers were collectivists, all the young Zefags are former traditional people. Total theft showed the crisis of traditional morality.
Chapter 2
What kind of capitalism on the periphery of red Empire?
Why are Refags so democratic? All the former provincial Zefags just pray for the Europeans. Why do Europeans not care about your status, or so it seems to people who have just moved from the villages and immediately got on the Internet and social networks?
The Refags live in moments so that it is already obvious. They live by stopwatches. They simply have no time to fill their heads with other people’s foolishness and visits, including the show-offs of yesterday’s village. Show-offs are important for Zerefs, they are an important signal and indicator of their quality of life. For Refags, everything depends on money, their search, and extraction. This can express banal: time is money. So if the Zerefs are looking for attention and a moment of fame, the Refags don’t need fame if it doesn’t make a profit. Because of this, the Zerefs (zefas) who imitate the Refags fall into critical, superior strength circumstances. In the pursuit not so much for fame, but for money and show-offs. The Refags love life because they love themselves. The Zerefs love it when witnesses admire their rise to the top. The pursuit of money and show-offs simultaneously ends often like this: the collapse of any merchant, the collapse or bankruptcy of a commercial bank. I have already said that the imitation of market relations by Zerefs is very pretentious. They want to achieve everything rapidly. Therefore, corruption is the most obvious, and rudeness between people in the clear.
Chapter 3
You are a person!
This phrase is just a reworked «You are a citizen, and you are not a plebeian, so get bread and circuses.» This modern phrase is a democratic cliché. Today, there seem to be no slaves around, slavery has been abolished everywhere. Perhaps this phrase allows all impoverished people to be proud, they can die with their heads held high.
To win over the crowd during the late Roman period, the aristocrats flirted with the crowd and practiced free distribution of bread to the urban outcasts: slum dwellers, vagabonds and semi-vagabonds, residents of the surrounding hills, and also held gladiatorial fights where slaves cut each other to the delight of the crowd. While the misfits chewed their free bread, the blood of gladiators flowed in the arena.
That is, the heyday of populism today is off the scale from total marginalism when every buyer is told: «You are a person,» instead of: «You’re just a customer or even a sucker.» If you repeat these affectionate words to the crowd of Zerefs, distribute halva right and left, and don’t you want to see something else, then, in the end, populism of various caliber and scale will flourish, it already exists. And the political phenomenon of Vladimir Zhirinovsky in Russia came just when the prospects of bubbling Coca-Cola, unbridled sex, and forty varieties of sausage loomed before the scoops. Whoever promises the crowd the most material goods and says that he loves and respects it, he will be a politician in such a moment. Then the modern plebeians wonder every time when the thieves come one after another, and all the revolutions, coups against the thieves end up with a new, most unbridled theft.
Again, the reason for this result is a lack of experience. Traditional Zerefs have never heard so much flattery in their address. Under socialism, all people were equal. No one praised each of them individually. The bureaucracy singled out only labor record holders. And populist politicians in the market began to distribute flattery to the right and left, in all directions. Even a nonentity can think of himself as a giant. Any seller in the market praises his product, but also the buyer so that he buys this product. In the traditional world, people are still humiliated if they belong to the lower social stratum. Market relations allowed even nonentities to feel inspired. If a populist politician plays the buffoon and the fool, it inspires the crowd even more, and they choose such a humorous buffoon as their leader. In the traditional world, where there was a lot of humiliation, people choose people even worse than themselves. If you don’t believe it, you can look at popular bloggers on social networks. The more stupid a blogger is, the more friends they have. The more vulgar the information, the more people gather. This does not mean that all these people are humiliated at the moment, although everything is possible. If people are lied to from all sides and especially the authorities are lying to them, then they will look for an outlet in social networks and there they find people more stupid than themselves. This saves them from depression. But populist politicians take advantage of such sentiments, they run up, sneak up on the crowd and start entertaining it.
