Hi all! Today is Sunday, August 28 and we continue our podcast "Trends of Order
and Chaos". This is episode 69. Here are the highlights of the week's agenda.---- Listen on SoundCloud ---- The war has been going on for half a year now ----This week marks half a year of the "special operation", or rather the officialstage of the war against Ukraine, when the Russian government sent troops intoits territory openly, not hiding behind "ihtamnets". ---- The Ukrainian sidespeaks about the death of more than 13 thousand people, but this figure may turnout to be more in reality, since the calculation complicates the occupation ofpart of the territories and military operations. Of these, among civilians 5587confirmed and identified dead (7890 injured) according to a source from the UN.The number of military dead is given by all sides differently, and it is not yetpossible to find out exactly during the war. There are missing persons both amongthe military and among non-combatants. We must also remember that when we talkabout the military, we are talking not only about regular troops, but also aboutvolunteers, some of whom would prefer never to take up arms, but were forced toprotect themselves from fascism, which brings with it the Russian an occupation.The resistance that the inhabitants of Ukraine put up to the Russian army came asa big surprise to Putin. Like any dictator, he is used to believing that allissues are decided by the authorities, and the people are some kind of littlepeople who only have to bow and serve the masters, these little people haveneither self-esteem, nor will, nor thirst for freedom.All the more is the rage of the dictator who has lost his shores towards thosewho do not want to obey him in Ukraine, or on the territory of the RussianFederation. The Russian authorities endlessly lie, claiming that all the victimsare the fault of the "Ukrainian Nazis", while prohibiting not just any criticismof the actions of the Russian troops, but even the mention of the word war,although what else to call what is happening. As they say, Kafka and Orwellscratch their turnips in the next world and argue that they didn't seem to writeinstructions."And what are we for?"There is a lot of discussion and resentment on the Russian-speaking Internet nowfor the fact that the principle of collective responsibility is applied to itsinhabitants based on the principle of nationality or passport. They also discussthe problems that arise for those who have left for other countries where they donot want to open accounts or rent out housing. But when you try to say that manypeople, shall we say, of non-European appearance, and even more so migrants livelike that (and this is certainly unfair), you meet with complete misunderstandingand even indignation, instead of sympathy for those with whom you find yourselfin a similar situation. So, all prejudice against people based on theirappearance, nationality, country of origin, and so on is an evil that anarchistsare well aware of and fight against it, but for some this problem seemed to besomething that would never touch him. Well, a lot of things that seemedimpossible to us have already happened.Suffering as a national ideaUsually the rulers promise the people to lead them to happiness and prosperity.Putin's propaganda at one time was based on stability (as it turned out, this isa stable crisis), but the more this propaganda became militarized, the more itsounded calls to overcome, if not die at all. ) will just die "(c) - Putin."Russians know how to suffer like no one else" - Shoigu.Calling for sacrifice and suffering, neither Putin nor his entourage, includingthe ideologists of Russian fascism, of course, had themselves in mind.The murder of Daria Platonova (Dugina) happened at the end of last week, but thisweek it was most discussed, acquiring more and more new versions. It is certainlydifficult to believe in the official version from the FSB, they would have shownYarosh's "business card". Despite the fact that Daria Platonova was a staunchfascist, an active follower and distributor of her father's ideas, it quicklyformed the impression that this murder was most likely the result of internalsquabbles, and that Dugin himself was the main target. For the Ukrainiansabotage, both of them are figures, frankly speaking, they are nothing, and theycan in no way influence military operations by their death.Speaking specifically about the deceased Daria Platonova, not in the words of herfather, about the altar and the sacrifice (here, excuse me, in the mythologicalconsciousness of the peoples of the world, it is an innocent girl who issacrificed on the altar), but from the point of view of feminism, then she is notthe first servant of the patriarchy, who, in theory, was supposed to personifythe correct patriarchal woman, sit at home, look at the floor and give birth inborscht, but she herself did not act like that. And she is not the first servantof the patriarchy who denied the rights of women and the problem of femicide, andshe herself died from femicide. Yes, this case can be considered politicalfemicide, no matter how disgusting the beliefs of the deceased. What is to beregretted here is that a young active woman gave her life in the service ofpatriarchal ideas.So, for now, all that the Russian government can do is bring death and suffering,and this suffering is, in fact, the national idea that has been instilled in thepeople all these years. Of course, all this smacks of some crazy stubbornsectarianism, but on the other hand, if we consider everything that the Russiangovernment does from the point of view of sectarianism, a lot becomes clear. Thiswhole story once again shows that the state and power are not something createdfor the benefit of people, but only a means of causing suffering. At the sametime, it tries to convince us that this suffering is good.Well, that's all for today!
