This is traditional nepotism. A hierarchical ladder is being built. At the top – the elite, built on the principle of the family. In the middle level, in the system, all niches are occupied by” their people” by the type of clan. The bourgeoisie is not far behind (and the national representatives from the legal protection, too). All this organization forms a form of the modern solidarity-the ruling party. At the bottom, life is also set up according to a quasi-family pattern – interest groups are formed. In other words, clans are formed against the state, but inside.

What are Philistines?

First, all Philistines do not correspond to the essence that they pursue. That’s why they are Philistines. They certainly do not want to conform to it but acquire the pursued entity as a thing. This” material” series also includes very non-material entities, for example, titles, statuses, the highest rank in some field, for example, the rank of Professor or doctor of science. These “acquisitions” are of an expansive range; if the society is developing, we are talking about the middle-class society as a whole and claiming the highest civilized status. But in the traditional world, all this is a show-off and proof of status. In everything, one distinctive “Philistine” feature in the form, the type of event, but not the content, the essence.

What falls under this form? It can be a military rank, a scientific degree, a social status, a label of popularity, and, in the end, belonging to the elite. In middle-class society, the elite is very specific. She is only the mistress of things, no matter what, but things. Petty-bourgeois elites can best find and get as “things”, so you can become both a Professor and a writer very simply. In addition to the “rich” elite, it also wants to seem, of course, smart. A professor as a thing, status, and name Professor it’s like buying a banal thing on the market! This is only possible here.

So, among the Nouveau riches, you can become anyone, even a Caliph for an hour, even a Pope, even a circus performer, even an astronaut, even an ice skater, if only you had money. Who doesn’t have access to this case? They don’t care if you’re really a General or a philosopher; they don’t give a damn. Who wants to? Let him be a General! Even the singing General, even dancing. Utter carelessness.

Of course, when the pagan consciousness touches you, it will gradually be just such a celebration of apathy, marginal simplicity. The desire to find something that is not available, but shines, with an incomprehensible luster and wants to be incomprehensible and brilliant during pseudo perfection and education of society may not look beautiful. But the new townspeople, once again, don’t give a damn. They can buy it and “dress” it.

Buy and dress “General”.

It is also effortless to recognize a fake. A regime philosopher is just as easy to spot as a wedding General. The job gives the discrepancy. The “analyst” of them can go crazy, for example. You can assume that he really wants to open something bright and memorable, but there are not enough resources, natural data, but the Philistine system gave him a card “Analytics”, with a seal – take it and come up with it. He gives them a real product – only his madness. This is just as crazy as the claim of the bourgeoisie to the content. To the point of complete madness, he guesses the main desire of customers – their secret, which means that his discovery will be pointless and mystical. Mysticism can’t be touched or challenged – it’s scary to touch the incomprehensible; astrology scares the audience. All their analysts are mystics, of course. Do you remember shamans? This is them, only in modern clothes. If there are no orderlies to recognize a madman, then another mystery discovery is considered a find. And how many such finds. Many people moved to the city quickly. And there, they immediately became smart scientists.

But the General is more difficult to “catch” because it requires war or force of circumstances. That he’s worthless, but he still gives out something not General, madcap, undisciplined, and even not at all creative, and creativity begins to be rejected by young people during service with Lieutenant’s shoulder straps. A real General without a war is stupid. The General’s son will be a General-remember? The dunce dynasty. And this super creative, full of enthusiasm, youthful enthusiasm, he will do something. It would immediately be made because he jumped from the lowest rank to the highest officer corps. He should sit and accept the congratulations of the guests, he is a wedding guest, and he can’t sit still.

Furthermore, he’s setting up a local war. He uses epaulets to besiege his guests. He’s tired of driving a luxury foreign car in front of their noses. Furthermore, he puts other motorists as spies and selects the oligarchic bread. And it’s very fat! Therefore, the service gets the appearance of a terrible, nightmarish feudal game. For the oligarchs, of course. Not for him. Because he is most likely is a relative of the head of state.

It must say, in peacetime, a civilian or a woman can handle a military position. This is a typical manifestation of market farce.

All these regalia, degrees, and titles all speak of one thing: desire. That there is emotion along with selfishness.

About the strong side of the instinctive-emotional view of the surrounding things, the traditional people’s inability to look into the essence of the title, position, and even profession, leads to the boundless fall of these professions. They were disappearing due to low quality. What remains is the prestige of having a tag, not a profession. Professionals disappear, evaporate in that place – some employees, hypocrites, and ass-kissers. The same ones breed even worse at the bottom. Because there are no more professionals, there are children, children of nature, who “want” and want to be happy in uniform or a suit. Social option: that they occupy a post, it doesn’t matter – they correspond to it, they inhabit it – so they deserve it. And they are respected for it. Respect for the post, for they decide something there, and significant. The more stupid a person is, the more respected they are. And after all, he wants, in the end, to require complete groveling. A slave is a slave. And groveling is a radical form of admiration. Well, no one from the bourgeoisie does not dream of becoming a God for a moment.

Replace God for a couple of minutes and pay off all the enemies-is this not the dream of Philistine dreams? Who says that? That’s right-children, children live like this, and their children, who are called fashionable “journalists” yet, these retell how crazy Western stars go. They are also related. Maybe. Ass-licking administrators, ass-licking secretaries. Assholes writing and broadcasting from the screen are most interested in Jennifer Lopez’s purchase. This is the ceiling of petty-bourgeois interests. Children always need to go to rehab. Does the bourgeoisie need rehabilitation? Why is it not appropriate to transfer it to society? Let’s look at this case on the example of a popular opposition Philistine.

And what about our opposition?

Let’s say our local oppositionist once dreamed of becoming someone as a child. Then, as a teenager and a young man, the “dream” was vulgarized – it was corrected by society’s values, the community in which he lived. Their environment has replaced romance. The worse the conditions of past life and material conditions, the greater this dream-not a dream at all, but a desire, has become a goal.

We remember that the bourgeoisie wanted to walk in a rich suit in the elite quarter, to stand next to the rich. (And the entire population can dream of becoming rich, for nothing that on local TV channels always there is an advertisement for the pleasure of Western oligarchs and their next girlfriends.
