elite [Theme] Page 1

Two words arise: responsibility and leadership. On accountability, let's compare what politicians say and what generals say. Two completely different worlds. Politicians look like a group of teenagers. They know how to throat. We just need to take it to another level. There is such a word: artificial intelligence. Someone said something, 3 seconds later. - Bang, answer. AI has to work.
But from the point of view of those people who I respect in the United States, they say: guys, where are you? You've gotten to the point where anything can happen. Come to your thoughts! These are people who are responsible for the security of their country. These are the most educated and intelligent people in the United States, the military elite. They are well aware of the world they live in, and where the conversations of lightweight politicians can lead.
The biggest deficit right now is leadership. Where there is leadership, there is a chance. The task of the leader is even more important and difficult at critical periods as it is now. Leaders need to show where the problem is to be worked on. The task of the leader is to conduct a dialogue with the people around, not to hide behind the bureaucracy.

- Thinking about America, we have in vain thrown away what happened a year ago. The revolution in America continues. And Biden is an analogue of Kerensky, the Provisional Government in Russia. America is getting decrepit, it needs to change the political system. And it seems to me that the American elite is beginning to feel it.

But we have nothing but ourselves.

There is nothing wrong with the existence of an elite. It has always been known in one form or another. It is bad when the elite does not like their homeland.

Why is this so interesting? Why remember today? Because now there will be a renewal of the elite. It's a litmus test. And now it will become clear that the elite that was focused on America, on the 90s, on "let's listen" - it will simply sweep away. The Americans, now showing all their agents of influence who are in a hurry to speak, they put the Russian government in an unambiguous position. It will have to clean up and bet on nationally oriented cadres.

The third lesson of the collapse of the Soviet Union is that after what happened to the Soviet Union, it was necessary once and for all to get rid of the beautiful-hearted, Manilov attitude towards world politics, and our place in this world politics. When the Soviet Union collapsed, many thought that the main reasons were within. But - there were global stakeholders who played to the collapse of our empire. Yes, we have proposed peaceful coexistence. But in the West there was an elite, and they did not hide it, which considered peaceful coexistence as an instrument for the future collapse of the Soviet Union, nullifying it as a nuclear power, as the second most powerful economic power. I was told this bluntly: peaceful coexistence is our instrument of your demise.

I hope that someday it will reach culture, because this is a very important area - ideology. Our leadership elite has not fully realized this. I think that we would not have won the war if the generation that came to the front had not been brought up on Soviet cinema, on brilliant Soviet literature, and on the culture that had already been developed by that time.

All the ruling elite are geeks!

An anti-national state is a state in which one of the most oppressed nations exists. In our case, this national majority is Russians. Then there is the pyramid of peoples. Some nations are also oppressed, some have a little more rights and are used, as for example the Sith were used in India to keep the indigenous population in submission and fear. And the anti-national elite sits on top, the main feature of which is not even that it is different in blood, but that it is absolutely different in spirit. She perceives the population as cattle, slaves, herd. And she perceives herself as masters who must manage this "cattle" exclusively for themselves.

I believe that Russia is not an empire. If only because it is actually a colony. It is a country ruled by colonial methods. The metropolis can be considered, for example, the Kremlin, as well as some places outside Russia, such as Courchevel. Russia is ruled by an anti-national elite, which perceives the population as conquered natives, for example, how the British perceived the Hindus in their time. They built a pyramid of peoples, some of which are close to oppressing the natives, and most of the peoples have no rights and exist as a colonial population. First of all, this concerns the Russians. Therefore, Russia can be called, I would say, not an empire, not a national state, but an anti-national state. This will be the most accurate scientific definition of what we live in.

I didn't find anything in Biden's speech... It is very similar to the speeches that the general secretaries said at the congresses. It is completely empty, there is not a single fresh thought in it. If Mr. President wanted some kind of reconciliation, he probably should have reached out to the tens of millions of people who voted for Trump and who are now in opposition. This could not reach the hearts of those who are called Trumpists. Although it is not the Trumpists who pose the main threat to America. And just those who were absorbed by the democratic elite - socialists, antifa, BLM. They will destroy. The American empire will be dealt a serious blow. Trump just froze and put it off.

According to Karl Schmidt's neoconservative theory, for a society to exist, an enemy image is needed. This is a very dangerous thing because then all social institutions, political parties, intelligentsia, politicians, all live in a monstrous myth.

Absolutely. And they think bureaucratically.

Look at the general trend in the quality of the world's elites. The quality of the world's elites is steadily declining. Each time, people who are less and less capable of strategic planning come. The exception is states that still cling to national sovereignty. Because they have a different view of these things, and they need wise politicians, and they become such in the course of work, because they realize the tasks they face. And in other democracies, the quality of politicians is declining. No wonder the West encourages color revolutions. As a result of each of them, we see a steady decline in the quality of leaders. For what? In order to eventually bring to power such people who will say: that's it, we can no longer cope, there is a single supranational center, it needs to delegate its powers. Many have already done this, if you look at the post-Soviet space.
