To Chauvinists 2022-2042

Motivation.

I am tired of reacting to openly rude and intrusive attempts to force everyone to speak the Ukrainian language, and since this concerns me personally, I decided to write an article to which I will send all chauvinists. If You are not a chauvinist, You have nothing to do here; You came here by mistake.

At the beginning I will explain the meaning of the nickname Vladimir Kraine; perhaps most questions for me will disappear only after this information. If written in abbreviated form as V.Kraine in English, we get V.Kraine or V.kraine; it is easy to see that V.kraine resembles Ukraine(Ukraine in English), even autocorrect tries to correct V.kraine to Ukraine. This means that I have a pro-Ukrainian position.

Since chauvinists and other -ists and -asts are lazy, I will begin with definitions.

Chauvinísm(fr. chauvinisme) — an ideology of national superiority, setting as its goal the justification of the right to discriminate against, exploit, and oppress other peoples. Chauvinism contributes to the emergence and spread of dislike and even hatred toward outsiders, foreigners, people of other faiths, according to the principle "not like us — alien — outsider — enemy." One of the forms of heteronomy and xenophobia. This term is also often used in a figurative sense and denotes social, ethnic, religious, sexual-orientation, age, and any other stereotypes, convictions, and beliefs asserting the "inferiority" of one type of people in comparison with the rest.

Nationalísm — an ideology and direction of politics whose fundamental principle is the thesis of the value of the nation as the highest form of social unity, its primacy in the state-forming process. As a political movement, nationalism strives to create a state that encompasses the territory where the nation lives and defends its interests.

National Socialísm (German Nationalsozialismus), better known as Nazísm — a German totalitarian, extremist, far-right, racist, and antisemitic ideology and movement in 1919—1945, a form of fascism.

Fascísm (Italian fascismo, from fascio — union, bundle, bunch, association; fascio di combattimento — fighting union) — an ideology and socio-political movement within the framework of authoritarian or totalitarian militarist ultranationalism and the corresponding dictatorial regime with strict regulation of society and the economy.

Characteristic features of fascism are also antiliberalism, rejection of electoral democracy, social democracy, anticommunism, revanchism and leaderism, expansionism, elitism, social Darwinism, statism and, in a number of cases, corporatism, racism, and a policy of genocide. It occupies the far-right place in the traditional left-right political spectrum.

Ultranationalism — an ideology, a form of nationalism distinguished by an extreme interpretation and ensuring the implementation of the interests of one state or one people in opposition to the interests of all others. A simplified interpretation of the term is "zealous service to one's own nation."

Ultranationalism in combination with the idea of national revival represents a fundamental principle of fascism.

Love for culture and nation may, but does not have to, go along such a vector of development:

Love for the nation -> nationalism -> ultranationalism -> Nazism(fascism).

Chauvinism is somewhere on the border between ultranationalism and Nazism(fascism).

Any attempt to impose a national idea of anything, even something very correct and good, is a sign of chauvinism. I want to focus You on the word impose. Any violent action that has a national character and emphasizes the superiority of those who profess national values.

My values.

The life of any being is priceless, the freedom of any living being is priceless, violence is unacceptable in any form, neither physical nor even psychological. I respect the opinion of my interlocutor and am always ready to change my own if I find the arguments sufficient. I like developing myself and I like people who develop. I am ready to defend my values, and therefore I believe that defending one's values is not violence.

Audience.

The core of my audience is people 35+, educated, sharing my values. Age is given as an average indicator and is not a basis for me. At the age of 35+ a person has already gone through rethinking and formed their own opinion, independent of the opinions of others. This can happen at any age, just as it may never happen. I respect the choice of any person. Therefore if You do not see yourself as part of my audience, I ask you to stop reading right now and no longer surprise me with your presence.

The essence itself.

If You are fighting for Ukrainization and wish Ukraine to be Ukrainian-speaking, this does not make You a chauvinist. It is a completely normal phenomenon during a war with Russia to feel hatred and irritation toward everything Russian. Such behavior is reflexive; people always behave aggressively toward threatening circumstances. But 80 million years ago the neocortex appeared in our brain, which gives us the ability to influence the reflexive behavior of our body.

It is the same thing that works when You are carrying a cup of hot tea that unexpectedly burns You, but You do not throw it out of Your hands because You are carrying it over Your small child. And the consequences of burning Yourself are less critical for You than spilling hot tea on Your child. This is an example of the function that the neocortex added to us. Therefore feeling reflexive emotions is normal; giving in to them is not.

A person who uses the neocortex lives in a world of self-restraints, but is free to make a choice. A person living by reflexes (a reflexive person), on the one hand, is deprived of any self-restraints, but is a slave of reflexes. This is too obvious to write here. But because reflexive people are extremely suggestible, and it is impossible to get through to them through intellect, only through emotion and negative experience. I have to ask them again to overcome their curiosity and stop reading these lines. It will never get through to You, no matter what I say or do. You are lazy, stupid, aggressive, and primitive. But this is Your choice, and I respect it.

In order to carry out the Ukrainization of society, one generation will be required, that is, in about 20 years the question of Ukrainization will worry no one. We will even forget about such a phenomenon as Russian-speaking Ukrainians. No, of course there will be people who know several languages, including Russian, but they will not insist on making it a state language, or giving it some other status besides the status of a language of national minorities. Any substantial changes in society require time, therefore during such changes a transition period is appointed.

Try to recall any state initiative that was adopted before this. They always had a transition period. During this period, training measures are conducted, a positive atmosphere is created around the new initiative, and every effort is made to make the initiative attractive. But this is of course in a democratic society; in a totalitarian one, the leader's order must be carried out immediately.

Accordingly, any absence of a transition period with the use of punishment mechanisms is a sign of totalitarianism. Just like the restriction of other rights and freedoms of citizens.

Yes, I understand that I have already written about this, and of course this can be studied independently, without my hints. But reflexive people read texts diagonally, because of laziness, because of stupidity, because of a reflexive urge to express their opinion, which in fact is of no interest to anyone. But leaving their shitty mark is a reflexive sign. Animals mark territory with their excrement. Reflexive people do exactly the same. For the third time already I am sending the reading reflexive person after the Russian warship. Why are you still here? You do not understand, it is difficult, and I constantly provoke you.

The beauty of manipulating reflexive people is that even while reading that they are being manipulated, they still follow this manipulation like sheep. A sensible person would already have abandoned all attempts to secrete internal fluids in response to manipulations, but people who do not use the neocortex do not. For them provocation and manipulation are the place where they absolutely must defecate with a comment or with their expert opinion.

Patriotism is bad. You can study the history and criticism of this phenomenon deeply yourself. But patriotism is convenient for a totalitarian state. Therefore if at the word patriot You begin to sing the anthem, You are on a very dangerous path, comrade. The essence of the phenomenon itself seems not bad: love for the homeland, for one's native land, readiness to give one's life for it. Patriotism is glorified in military songs and is often heard at the funerals of heroes. But patriotism is a dummy; usually people always strive to protect their family, their way of life, and their values.

It is absolutely not necessary to be a patriot for this. Defending what is yours is normal, and that should be enough. But that is not enough for totalitarianism. Totalitarianism strives to enslave a person, and implanted patriotism helps greatly in this.

If it seemed to You that I am writing here about rasseia, then no. I call present-day Ukraine, with its present authorities, totalitarian. There is no need to restrict citizens' departure beyond the territory of Ukraine. The reservations that we then will not be able to draft anyone into the army are manipulation and outright lies. Many simply cannot leave; they have neither the means nor the inner strength. And as I said above, people will defend what is theirs. And the state, instead of protecting its citizens, uses them as an element of military strategy.

Remember, we would have had to drive tanks over our own citizens, and therefore they did not speak about the beginning of the war. We had no chance at the beginning of the war to resist if rasseia had not attacked from 8 sides simultaneously and fallen into our trap. Thinking that we were not even preparing for war, while we were preparing.

Instead of mining and evacuating children and the elderly, Ukraine pretended that it was not preparing for war, so that later, with gathered forces, it could smear the rashists. How many civilians died? How many victims could have been avoided if Ukraine had conducted active diplomacy and had a strong president in power. It would have closed the sky immediately. We shoot down 70-80% of missiles now and are capable of closing our own sky ourselves after half a year of war. Seriously? Russia spent a month preparing for a massive missile strike; the Crimean Bridge has nothing to do with it. Seriously?

What kind of idiot does one have to be not to see the obvious: the war is being won at the cost of the death of the civilian population. Such is the diplomacy and tactics. They showed mountains of corpses and received weapons. And where are our weapons? Where is the military industry?

So, so that these and other stupid questions do not arise, a target must be created into which all aggression and hatred will be poured. Anywhere, just not at the authorities. Here is a language shitstorm for You. Let Ukrainians gnaw at one another, proving who is the greater patriot and Ukrainian. And media will help us with this.

I worked for about 9 years in the sphere of media and television; there is no more rotten industry in Ukraine. Lies have been elevated into a cult. We have no journalists, none at all. This is all a controlled, low-professional propaganda machine. Even if someone wants to do something, such a person is either harshly calmed down or fired. Thanks to the media, all these Soviet slogans are spread about donations, switching to the Ukrainian language, patriotism, and that we have already won. We have not won; civilians die every day, and their deaths are exchanged for diplomatic points in order to demand something again. Make donations to people who need them, not only to the AFU.

It does not take much intelligence to criticize the authorities; the authorities are accustomed to criticism. For the authorities, criticism is the exchange of rating for money and influence. As soon as the rating falls below a critical level, the previously exchanged money and influence are spent on raising the rating. They even made news that 30% of Ukrainians placed Zelensky in second place after T.H. Shevchenko. How much must one consider people cattle to release such news? But at least in the Ukrainian language.

I really do not even know how You managed to read to this point. A longread that should not have existed. But all of us need to be ready that after the war with the totalitarian regime in rasseia, we will have to fight the totalitarian regime in Ukraine. To eradicate chauvinism and the germs of ultranazism, which sprout too quickly on the soil of grief and suffering.

Remember that the ideas of national revival represent fundamental principles of fascism. There is no need to revive anything; we already have everything, we are already Ukrainians, such as we are. We can only improve this. In time we will have new T. Shevchenkos and L. Ukrainkas if the state allocates money for culture. Not for the revival of culture, but for the development of culture.
