Meanwhile, it is difficult to invent slogans more abstract and fraught with disaster than these. In recent decades, the destructive potential inherent in them has become especially clearly realized. Simply because humanity previously lived by inertia on the basis of Christian morality, from which Christ himself was removed, called “secular ethics” and they decided that with its help they were humanized. But the way this “humanization” proceeds, the further it goes, the more it causes such insoluble contradictions that it provokes an increasingly fierce confrontation between its apologists and those who begin to guess that something is going wrong. Moreover, it has already gone so far that it is not entirely clear how to stop. SLOGAN THINKING These “beautiful” slogans of the French Revolution literally from the moment of their proclamation led to bloodshed. Please note that people began to be killed not for something tangible, as in previous centuries, but for abstract words. In the Middle Ages, people fought for absolutely understandable things - for dominance and rights. The struggle for the first was manifested most clearly in the conflicts of kings, but, however, seedy knights kept finding out who was cooler. And for the second - in expanding the rights of the barons in relation to the king, expanding the rights of townspeople in relation to the feudal lord. Issues were resolved as they arose: the king thought too much of himself - it was necessary to limit him. The Duke demands a disproportionate payment from a certain city for some benefits - we need to fight with him. But only until he gives up unnecessary claims. After each stage, the new conditions were recorded as an agreement signed by both parties. And then there was a struggle to comply with it. Everything is specific and everything is clear. And to prevent this struggle from turning into genocide, Christian preachers actively worked with the opposing sides, exhorting them not to go beyond the limits. But there was no goal to build a fair society that would satisfy everyone equally. For they knew: man, due to original sin, is depraved and unfit for heaven on earth. This means that the main thing is not to let hell happen to it. And abstract “good intentions” lead precisely to it. Everything is simple and purely realistic. But in the 18th century, “enlightened” people came who declared that it was possible to proclaim certain principles that were supposedly self-evident for any rational and educated person. And that on their basis it is possible to build a system of general welfare. For the first time, the motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” (Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité) is heard in Maximilien Robespierre’s speech “On the organization of the National Guard.” He also proposes to correlate these principles with the three colors of the republican flag.
But we will return to freedom a little later, since this word is too overloaded with various meanings, but for now we move on - equality. It means that everyone is equal before the law. “All citizens are equal before him and therefore have equal access to all offices, public offices and occupations according to their abilities and without any other differences than those due to their virtues and abilities.” Well, is everything really self-evident here? No way! After all, based on this idea, “positive discrimination” is now being implemented quite often in the United States. That is, representatives of races, peoples, minorities, who either themselves, or more often their distant ancestors, were somehow limited in their rights, are now endowed with advantages.
BROTHERHOOD DE SADA The third word of the motto - brotherhood - is defined as follows: “Do not do to others what you would not like to receive yourself; do the same good deeds towards others that you would like to do towards yourself.” There is also nothing to object to, at first glance. A contemporary and supporter of the French Revolution, the Marquis De Sade did not object. He fully supported and drew the following conclusion from this principle: “I dare say that incest should be legalized by any government based on the idea of fraternity. (...) Isn’t it true, I ask you, that an opinion that considers a person’s natural attraction to a close being as a crime is disgusting? It may just as well be said that we are forbidden to love too much the people whom Nature has ordained to love most, and that the more strongly she gives us a desire for an object, the more she commands us to avoid it. All these are absurd paradoxes, and only people wild with prejudice can believe in and approve of them.” This is an excerpt from his article “French, one more effort if you want to become republicans.” In it, he strictly logically argued that true republicans cannot believe in God and follow His commandments. This means they must follow Nature (he only wrote this word with a capital letter). And he made the inevitable conclusion: “Let only your inclinations be your rein, your desires only your laws, Nature itself your morality. We cannot blame a person for his perversions, just as we cannot blame him for the deformities given to him by Nature." This idea did not immediately prevail among “progressive minds.” But now they have gone even further, denying such a concept as “perversion” altogether. However, here is another thought of his, which was only recently reached by representatives of one of the most advanced areas of philosophy - Object-oriented ontology. “What is a person, and how does he differ from the plants and animals that inhabit the world? Nothing, of course. By chance, like them, having landed on the globe, he is born, like them, multiplies, blossoms and fades, like them, he reaches old age and plunges into oblivion at the end of his life path, which Nature intends for each animal depending on its organic structure." And what conclusion does the marquis draw? The only logical one: “Killing a person or an animal is the same thing”. Wait, they will tell me, but it is not slogans themselves that are destructive. And their broad “perverted” interpretation. And I agree. But the question is: what, or rather who, can narrow their interpretation, what authority? Kant's “moral law is within us”? But here he was inside Kant, a contemporary of de Sade. But he was not inside the marquis himself... So, maybe it’s worth correcting the old Immanuel: we see (and have been convinced more than once over the centuries that have passed since his death) that if this “law within” does not have a higher divine sanction that affirms and strengthens it, it gradually ceases to be a law. Or rather, there are no longer any logical grounds for observing it. Wait, but there is one indisputable thought that follows from this triad of slogans: “Freedom is better than lack of freedom.” Yes, let's go back to freedom. After all, so many beautiful words and slogans directly dedicated to her are associated with her alone. For example, the well-known “Freedom or Death!” However, if we think about it for a minute, he turns out to be an absolute dummy. After all, if the majority of humanity followed it, then slavery as a phenomenon simply would not exist. “AND IN PRISON THERE IS PASTA!” But the problem is that even Biblical history teaches us that freedom is not a priority for the majority. Remember how Moses led the Jews out of Egyptian slavery? The Lord, so that they would not starve in the desert, sent them heavenly super food - manna. But how did the Jews react? “We remember the fish that we ate for nothing in Egypt, cucumbers and melons, and onions, and onions and garlic; and now our soul languishes; there is nothing but manna in our eyes,” they cried.
And what happens next, by the way, in the Old Testament? The Jews have come to the Promised Land - live and rejoice. They have the Ten Commandments, which if observed, then there will be no basis for interpersonal conflicts at all. But that's if...
And when Christ comes, what do they want from Him? “Jesus, having learned that they wanted to come and accidentally take Him and make Him king, again withdrew to the mountain alone.” Jesus said: “If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” And she made genuine disciples. And the majority begged the governor of Rome, Caesar, to execute the One who categorically refused to be their earthly king. This is what “liberty, equality and fraternity” look like upon closer examination. This is the greatest scam in human history. And the clashes that are now spreading throughout the world were ultimately caused by it. Precisely because it is too obvious that, under the cover of beautiful slogans, completely different goals are being pursued. But it is important to understand that these “great” words themselves are vicious and false. Humanity (more precisely, for starters, those who understand the essence of deception and its mechanisms) will have to learn again to think concretely, and not in slogans. Return to the space of commandments and interests, and not meaningless but deadly abstractions. And make decisions without hiding behind their pseudo-authority, but with full awareness of what, why, why and with what possible consequences we are doing. | |||||
