Cynical social experiment "Empire in the XXI century" ends

In fact, we are approaching the end of another colossal "social experiment" that, like most previous experiments, has proven to be completely unsustainable.

It is about the experiment of the "archaic empire" in the twenty-first century, personified by the kleptocratic regime of the "Kremlin elders" and the state headed by them, which is denoted by two mysterious letters - "RF".

In fact, everyone has long known that an empire is a very archaic and inefficient model of organizing society, which is why most of them have been dissolved by now. What worked perfectly a century ago no longer works, and it cannot work.

But for a long time, the world had a strangely nostalgic feeling for one atavism of the past, located on one of the largest pieces of Eurasia. When most of the Eurasian empires collapsed after the First World War, it was this one empire that "reassembled" on new ideological principles, even more manic, man-hating, and schizophrenic, but it "reassembled" and began to realize an ideological utopia.

When this utopia finally collapsed at the end of the twentieth century, parts of the empire fell away, but it suspended its disintegration and reorganized itself. This time without any clear ideological basis, concept, or principles. Simply because the "Western partners" invested heavily in this "project" and began to buy various resources, generously paying for them from their own pockets.

Thus, the empire felt confident again, and decided to play with the nineteenth century at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Actually, what else could we expect from them?

“For some reason, the West has long believed that if you give a pithecanthrope a Macbook, he will immediately become a programmer, but a pithecanthrope simply takes it and adapts the "equipment" to his needs. He doesn't want to be a programmer, he wants to kill.”

For some reason, the West has long believed that if you give a pithecanthrope a Macbook, he will immediately become a programmer, but a pithecanthrope simply takes it and adapts the "equipment" to his needs. He doesn't want to be a programmer, he wants to kill. 

And why? Because each time something got in the way of the historical process. First, the Bolsheviks' fanaticism, then the greed, laziness, and shortsightedness of Western politicians who, instead of letting the empire simply die, pumped it full of money, "Bush's feet," and pretended that Yeltsin was a "democrat." Anything to prevent the "terrible disintegration of Russia" from happening. But it will happen, because this archaic organism is still an atavism in the twenty-first century, and it must die out. But now its death is already claiming hundreds of thousands of lives, and no one knows how many more it will take.

In reality, everything is simple. There is a conglomerate of peoples who have long been united by brute force, coercion, and genocide. They have nothing in common but a common traumatic experience. They were also constantly robbed, and now they are being robbed hundreds of times more intensively, because it is one thing to take some of the skins of the animals killed, and another thing to siphon off all the resources. Their economic ties are not so strong, and their cultural ties are conditional. Because what kind of cultural ties can a society have that deliberately stays at an archaic level?

“All these barracks that they like to show here and that are a common place for "grateful subjects of the empire" are not because the empire has no money, they are because the subjects have to constantly beg, and then happily run with an assault rifle behind the tanks, warmed by the thought of the possibility of stealing a washing machine "somewhere out there"”

All these barracks that they like to show here and that are a common place for "grateful subjects of the empire" are not because the empire has no money, they are because the subjects have to constantly beg, and then happily run with an assault rifle behind the tanks, warmed by the thought of the possibility of stealing a washing machine "somewhere out there."

They have to be stupid, wild, and limited to support this hellish imperial machine, but being stupid, wild, and limited does not give this machine a chance to survive in the twenty-first century, when human capital and the opportunities that this capital provides are coming to the fore.

Thus, a paradoxical situation arises: that which sustains the empire is what destroys it. And this is a paradox that cannot be overcome. You can only "fill in the holes" in the structure with immense flows of currency. These flows reduced the contradictions, allowing the whole structure to exist somehow. This is an experiment - we leave an archaic construct in the twenty-first century, because we just don't want to deal with the consequences of its collapse.

And everything would be "fine" if it weren't for the simple fact that in a system of general degradation, geniuses cannot be at the helm, only the same degraders.

“In a system of general degradation, geniuses cannot be at the helm, only degraders of the same kind.”

The strength of the bunker old man is that he is the perfectly degraded leader of a degraded organism. An old fool who clearly hasn't read a book in decades, a disgusting caricature of a human being, a bearer of a perfectly stupid sense of humor, an ideological cannibal, and a principled idiot. He is the perfect leader for his system.

He also sincerely allows everyone around him to be idiots and cannibals. Do you want to write denunciations? Go ahead! You want to go kill people? Plenty of options! If you want to curse the world and wish for its destruction, you're my man! You can even make roosters out of shit and fight reptilians and killer mosquitoes. Any kind of pleasure for every intellectually limited individual. Perhaps that's why all intellectually challenged individuals are so fond of Bunker Grandpa all over the world. Including various old rockers and not-so-sober actors.

It brings out all the most disgusting, vile human traits, demonstrates them, and rewards them. He repeats the bunker mode constantly: "It's not just okay to be an idiot, it's necessary to be an idiot, it's sanctioned and approved."

“He repeats the bunker mode all the time: "It's not just okay to be an idiot, it's necessary to be an idiot, it's sanctioned and approved"”

But it cannot be better or more efficient. You can force a slave to dig ditches, you can force him to fight, but you can't make new chips. They will be produced by free people who are quite happy with their lives. And the experiment can be closed. And everyone feels it.

Even the President of Georgia has already wished that the "agreement" on the results of the Ukraine-Russia war include a clause on the liberation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Russian troops. Of course, this is the most impudent claim, and there is no point in commenting on it, but it shows how the turn to divide the legacy of the last empire is gradually being arranged. Someone has not yet spoken out publicly, but they are still preparing. And there are a lot of them.

Once again, another senseless social experiment to keep one outdated political body on this earth is costing humanity as a whole, but primarily Ukrainians. It is with the lives of Ukrainians that humanity is once again buying itself the opportunity to move forward in terms of development, completing the experiments that delay this movement. At such a high price…
