#Ideology

[haxyr3]

I know many of my followers enjoy Russian rock music. When Russia attacked Ukraine, it left many fans of Russian rock—especially those who learned the language through its songs—confused and disheartened. How could so many rock musicians align themselves with Putin's regime?

Misha Kozyrev's latest documentary sheds light on this troubling phenomenon. It explores the role of Vladislav Surkov, the Kremlin’s chief ideologist, in orchestrating this shift. Surkov, a master manipulator, was instrumental in steering rock icons away from freedom and truth and into the service of an emerging dictatorship.

If you’re passionate about music, politics, or Russian culture, this film is a must-watch. It’s a sobering but essential look at how art and power can intertwine—and not always for the better.

a popular meme page on instagram posted a happy international men's day post and the comments were filled with "waiting for all the angry feminists" "comments from toxic women" "women will want half of this too" "single moms in the comments about to go feral" etc. except not one woman commented anything like that. there were a few "who cares" comments and they were all by males 😭😭😭.

tells you a lot really.

I actually have so much more respect for people who can't bring themselves to believe anything than I do for people who get so deeply entrenched in ideologies that they might take years or even their whole lives to ever come to reevaluate their values. Even though they, on average, tend to bring less effective results.

Like, evolution does what is affective, not what is objectively correct, since, like, the "objective" meaning of the world is that our perception cannot accurately model anything and therefore nothing we know is ever true and we just gotta commit to the bit and try to reduce that annoying bug of nature called "human suffering" by as much as possible, because our sense of pain is what our entire idea of "bad" is based on, but also it doesn't "objectively" matter because nothing ever does. But thinking in terms this abstract all the time is just... Kinda ineffective, and there is a sense of numb bliss in it that can be dangerously addictive if our collective understanding of morality has screwed you over in one way or another. And my respect for the people who get addicted to nihilism over people who get addicted to ideology is probably purely pavlovian, but like... One of them IS more closely correlated with intellectualism than the other, and misguided ideology tends to involve... Much more DIRECT denial of harm than simply going "I don't know".

We need hippies more than ever

The fact is that lot of the old hippies who lived those days have passed away. Time is strongest than ideas, world is changing in a bad direction and they are turning into past shadows...

But we still preaching their ideas. Trying to enhace and share them ..

Someday will be usefull to the world..

I hope..

To our future.

A psychedelic legacy

“In a traditional German toilet, the hole into which shit disappears after we flush is right at the front, so that shit is first laid out for us to sniff and inspect for traces of illness. In the typical French toilet, on the contrary, the hole is at the back, i.e. shit is supposed to disappear as quickly as possible. Finally, the American (Anglo-Saxon) toilet presents a synthesis, a mediation between these opposites: the toilet basin is full of water, so that the shit floats in it, visible, but not to be inspected. [...] It is clear that none of these versions can be accounted for in purely utilitarian terms: each involves a certain ideological perception of how the subject should relate to excrement. Hegel was among the first to see in the geographical triad of Germany, France and England an expression of three different existential attitudes: reflective thoroughness (German), revolutionary hastiness (French), utilitarian pragmatism (English). In political terms, this triad can be read as German conservatism, French revolutionary radicalism and English liberalism. [...] The point about toilets is that they enable us not only to discern this triad in the most intimate domain, but also to identify its underlying mechanism in the three different attitudes towards excremental excess: an ambiguous contemplative fascination; a wish to get rid of it as fast as possible; a pragmatic decision to treat it as ordinary and dispose of it in an appropriate way. It is easy for an academic at a round table to claim that we live in a post-ideological universe, but the moment he visits the lavatory after the heated discussion, he is again knee-deep in ideology.”

The point is not moral absolution or ideological purity, it’s building a better world.

The magnetic power exerted by patently threadbare ideologies is to be explained, beyond psychology, by the objectively determined decay of logical evidence as such. Things have come to a pass where lying sounds like truth, truth like lying.

For the average person, all problems date to World War II; for the more informed, to World War I; for the genuine historian, to the French Revolution.
