We are surprised to see the processes unfolding in countries that used to consider themselves the flagship of
progress.
Of course, the social and cultural upheavals that occur in the United States and Western Europe are none of our business.
We're not going there.
Someone in the Western countries is sure that the aggressive smearing of their own history, the reverse discrimination of the majority in the interests of minorities, or the demand to abandon the usual understanding of such basic things as Mom, dad, family, or even gender differences are, in their opinion, the weight of the movement towards social renewal.
Adepts of so-called social progress believe that they are bringing some new consciousness to humanity, more correct than before.
Well, God forbid, the flag is in our hands, as we say.
Go ahead.
You know what I want to say now?
The recipes offered by them are completely new.
All this, as it may seem to someone unexpected, we have already gone through in Russia.
We already had it here.
In Bolshevik, after the 1917 revolution, based on Marx and Engels' dogma of Marxism,
they also announced that they would change the whole usual way of life, not only politically and economically,
but also the very idea of what human morality is, the basis of healthy society,
the destruction of eternal values, faith, relations between people, up to complete refusal of the family,
the instillation of reverence and tolerance for the loved ones. All this was declared a step forward.
By the way, it was quite widely supported in the world back then and it was fashionable.
The struggle for equality and against discrimination is turning into aggressive dogmatism on the verge of absurdity, when the great authors of the past, like Shakespeare, cease to teach in schools and universities.
Because they, these ideas, are, as they say, backward.
Classics are declared backward, not understanding the importance of gender or racial issues.
In Hollywood, they release memoirs of how and what you need to shoot a movie, how many characters, what color or gender there should be.
It turns out to be worse than the Department of Agitation and Propaganda of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Resisting racism is a necessary and noble thing.
However, in the new culture of rejection, it turns into reverse discrimination, i.e.
racism, on the contrary.
into reverse discrimination, that is, racism, on the contrary.
Imposing racial underlining on racial topics, it is even more disorganising people.
After all, the dream of true fighters for civil rights was just erasing the difference,
the refusal to divide people by skin colour.
I will remind you, I specifically asked my colleague yesterday to pick up this quote by Martin Luther King.
He said, as you remember, I dream that the day will come when my four children will live in a country where they will be judged not by the color of their skin, but in accordance with their personal qualities.
That's the real value.
We see things differently now, what's going on.
By the way, in Russia, our citizens, in the absolute majority, do not care what skin color a person has.
He or she is not so important either.
Each of us is a human.
Here's what's important.
A series of Western countries have turned into a complete phantasmagoria of discussions about the rights of men and women.
Enthusiasts of new approaches have gone so far as to want to cancel these concepts themselves.
Those who risk saying that men and women still exist, and this is a biological fact, are almost ostracized.
Parent number one and parent number two, parents who gave birth instead of a mother, It is forbidden to use the word breast milk and to replace it with human milk, so that people who are not confident in their own genitalia are not upset.
I repeat, this is not new.
In the 1920s, the so-called Soviet culture-triggers invented the so-called Novoyaz, believing that in this way they create a new consciousness and change the value chain.
I'm not talking about just monstrous things, when children today, from an early age, are inspired that a boy can easily become a girl, and vice versa.
when children are being told from an early age that a boy can easily become a girl.
And vice versa.
In fact, they are being forced, supposedly every parent has a choice,
they are being forced, they are removing this parent, forcing the child to make decisions that could ruin his
life.
And no one even consults child psychologists.
In general, a child at some age is able to make such a decision or not.
By calling things by their names, this is already on the verge of a crime against humanity.
And everything is under the name and under the banner of progress.
Well, if someone likes it, let them do it.
You once said that by forming our approaches, we will be guided by the ideology of healthy conservatism.
This was a few years ago.
At that time, passions in the international arena had not yet reached their current intensity.
Although, of course, we can say that at that time they were already thickening.
Now, when the world is experiencing structural collapse, the significance of reasonable conservatism as the basis of the political course has increased many times.
