Алмаз Браев – The Zero Option. A Protocol for Survival Beyond the Fila (страница 4)

And the moment the voice of the small, inner Claudius proves stronger than memory, duty, and gratitude, betrayal begins. Then begins the debauchery and the “syphilis.” First, one betrays the person. Then the family. Then the estate. Then the country. And finally, under the beating drums of revolution, betrayal is re-baptized as “justice.”

Once, the Japanese followed the path of “reptilian democracy.” They suffered the betrayal of their own defeat. They made a leap in the 60s and 70s; instead of promiscuity, they chose workaholism. The Japanese are the best RECON-agents. They do not strive to “get above themselves” and do not clamor for better places. But they lack exactly what is needed: ambition.

Chapter 6 Two Domes Above the Head (West or Russia with BRICS?)

The Evolution and Dualism of the “Struggle of Contradictions”

This is a very limited menu for a human being, leaving no room to escape the binary: either you are for the West (ostensibly liberal, in reality, a hyper-powerful digital trap), or you are for the East (ostensibly conservative, in reality, purely imitative due to the inherent weakness of “retired” Eastern elites).

Let us begin by clarifying the weakness of these Eastern elites.

For Eastern peoples, the primary concern is the demonstration of status. Status is projected through various channels: knowledge, self-assurance, the gait of one’s walk, and the cadence of one’s words. For the common man, status is signaled by material objects — most simply, by daily attire (with the most expensive suits reserved for high holidays and critical days).

All of this loses value once a “confident man” or a nobleman ages and retires. He may don robes embroidered with gold and wear all his medals — it will not restore his status or his posture. Thus, the highest metric of status for a conservative individual is power. Once power is lost, the “Eastern seal of nobility” vanishes. In essence, he becomes irrelevant. This explains the feverish pocket-lining among Eastern elites at the top and their pathological refusal to vacate their posts. Those who could only signal their status through attire pass by, and they are no longer bowed to with the same reverence.

The Western elite, conversely, has no need for constant costume changes or the permanent signaling of postures. They long ago found the ultimate aggregate of elitism: money. You can afford anything, even if no one notices you. Just demonstrate that you possess the capital, and everyone around will scurry to serve you. (The Jews were the first to understand this, which is why the Western model can be termed “Jewish.” Over centuries of living in diaspora, they understood the conservative merry-go-round. Upon retiring, they always retained their capital, or strived to acquire it, having distributed interest to the goyim. This is why the Western elite is filled, if not entirely composed, of financial thinkers. They may not frequent synagogues, but they certainly consider themselves “The Chosen.” The Protestants are still attempting to play this same game of “chosenness,” with some having successfully integrated into the world government.)

What Eastern elites lack is that specific confidence that the “Jew” does not need to justify. Eastern elites depend on their people, for their ascent to power relies on the masses (especially under so-called democracy, where the vanity of the post-conservative crowd is entirely controlled by fashion and brands). In this selection process, the wounded vanity of primitives who signal their status through their clothes plays the most vital role. Through a series of democratic and socialist revolutions, the most advanced post-conservative nations lost their natural elite. All that remained were the “costume-changers” — people just like everyone else, signaling status through the objects they wear.

Yet, Eastern rudiments remain. Therefore, the main dream of any costume-changer (the philistine) is to somehow attain power and savor it. This is precisely what distinguishes the Western dome from the Eastern one. Though the West is now full of such “clown” elites, it is increasingly difficult to dismiss leading European officials, much like their Eastern counterparts, because only at the very top can one generate serious wealth. Postures and costume changes no longer hold sway here.

As we can see, Eastern elites have a mandatory period of “Eastern maturation.” Therefore, the most advanced youth of the East desire to avoid this honorable Eastern old age, especially since many potential elders will never be anyone at all. It is better to care for oneself in advance: reach power through the Western clownishness of populism, or become a wealthy man. Hence, the mass cries of discontent and the Maidans. In words, the agitators are for the people; in reality, each thinks only of himself — of fleeing to the West, where honorable old age still exists (or at least existed before, as the West is a culture where all forecasts are made in advance).

The Zealot enters the space between the two domes.

That the Eastern dome imitates the Western one is no longer a secret. It is precisely there that Eastern elites deposit both their personal savings and state assets. It is through this financial aggregate that Eastern elites exist under the dome in the form of a nesting doll (matryoshka).

The Zealot enters this “nesting doll space” and gains room to maneuver. True leftists are left with no other choice. Let all other leftists chase the “dictatorship of the proletariat” — they are leftists, and thus, fools.

Chapter 7 The “Zero” Variant

Before presenting this information, I recall the legend of Danko by Maxim Gorky: *"The people, joyous and full of hope, did not notice his death and did not see that Danko’s brave heart was still flaming beside his corpse. Only one cautious man noticed this, and, fearing something, stepped on the proud heart with his foot… And so, scattering into sparks, it went out…”*

And the second remark from director Ridley Scott: *"I think what it boils down to — what we’ve got today [are] the audiences who were brought up on these f***ing cell phones. The millennian do not ever want to be taught anything unless you are told it on the cell phone.”*

It is a grave error to believe that people always live at the peak of their spiritual capacity. In the absence of anxiety, danger, and fear, people live carefree, sloppy, and reckless lives. They need no one, and no one needs them. It was in approximately this state that nations entered the 21st century.

Was there no war for a long time? Did people lose their fear and their solidarity? Yes, that is true. But that is not the most important thing.

People have watched too many movies. They lived through the tragedies of past centuries long ago via Hollywood films (and with the advent of the Internet, people are already bored — they require “Overton Windows”). From long-standing, warless satiety and an oversaturation of bloody battle scenes, the crowd feels that nothing exists: no pain, no death — nothing at all — yet these things are very real. There is also the artificial American smile and the collective cries of “WOW!” — adopted from Africans, who in turn adopted it from chimpanzees. (When Russians shout “WOW!” at a show, it is strange. When Kazakhs shout “WOW!”? …)

The technical revolution has committed a terrible act: it has castrated rigorous selection. Previously, reflection was born in blood, war, and great disasters. Today, the “Refag Loop” (*el lazo refag*) has absorbed both the “Zeremid” and “Remid” zones, passing the baton of control from responsible, average individuals (the *Remids*) to the most superficial digital lumpenproletariat. When there is no danger, authority and responsibility transition to average people (who evoke neither jealousy nor envy). власть silently passes to the weak — to those who will trample Danko’s heart after emerging from the forest. And this is especially true when all information, including politics, has transitioned into a show.

The Mechanism of Creating Clown-Rulers

Stage 1: Simplification and the Selection of Fools (The Remid Loop): When a totalitarian or populist regime ages, the degrading nomenklatura of peasant stock (the Zeremids) begins to panic at the sight of talent, intellect, and passion. The law of “peasant democracy” is activated: “Let the fools go first; we are not envious.” The elite consciously destroys the Zealots and promotes the grayest, most obedient executors. The system is simplified to a “command-execution” scheme. As a result, commanders grow stupid, and the cadre degenerates.

Stage 2: The Injection of Digital “Flotagia” and the Arrival of the Smartphone: Into this dehydrated, dulled world, the technical revolution bursts. The smartphone appears — a tool for the instant acquisition of surrogate goods. The smartphone completely liquidates the need for long, passionate labor or revolutionary struggle. The square of rebellion and real intimacy are replaced by digital masturbation on social networks. The mass reflection of society drops to zero. The nation turns into an atomized herd of egoists.
