This is a thought of social confrontation and a few Rhetorical questions. For those who do not have Deep Meaning Seeking Syndrome, just skip this.
Our ancestors rarely had to contact people of opposite views by means other than weapons, so our natural instinct is to assume that anyone outside our group is wrong for this very reason. We all know perfectly well that the language of diplomacy is very peculiar, that it is the language of allusions. It is as specific as, say, the language of a doctor or a lawyer. And its content is predetermined, as a rule, by the political guidelines of the leadership. We use subtexts on a daily basis in many areas of our life, and if people always said what they really mean, it would only complicate our life.
We have been taught all our lives that we are the best! Therefore, we are so fond of thinking that we value the diversity of opinions and respect other people's points of view, but in practice everything happens exactly the opposite. We tend to break up into groups and then firmly believe that others are wrong if they are outside our circle. We think we see right through others, although we ourselves are carried away by the idea of social masks depending on the circumstances. The idea is so ancient that the word personality itself comes from the Latin word persona, which the Greeks used for theatrical actors. And that's okay, and if you've never felt bad trying on a mask, then you're probably a psychopath.
Any political party also develops its ideology to unite certain groups under its auspices. Every community, from LGBT people to the Ku Klux Klan, strives for integrity, creating norms and values that help separate the self from others. Have you ever wondered why some social groups consider themselves to be better than others? And any political struggle comes down to the manifestation of intolerance, while trying to revive outdated models of power .. Indeed, in fact, there is a struggle between the political ethics of our countries, and ordinary people are closely intertwined with each other.
I find the explanation for this in the fact that before 1991, politicians were more or less in control of the situation. And after the collapse of the military-political blocs, we got more and more opportunities to meet face to face with those who did not belong to our circle. ... And you ... Do you see the only correct way to defend the social and cultural core?
