“THIS essay examines the idea of tolerance in our advanced industrial society. The conclusion reached is that the realization of the objective of tolerance would call for intolerance toward prevailing policies, attitudes, opinions, and the extension of tolerance to policies, attitudes, and opinions which are outlawed or suppressed. In other words, today tolerance appears again as what it was in its origins, at the beginning of the modern period–a partisan goal, a subversive liberating notion and practice. Conversely, what is proclaimed and practiced as tolerance today, is in many of its most effective manifestations serving the cause of oppression.”
Now who would want to destroy Christian culture? That is a confusing question and I just can’t imagine.
“Now who would want to destroy Christian culture?”
The answer lies in the very first years, the very beginning, of Christianity. That saw the birth of Christian culture, and one people and one people only has taken on that birth as as existential threat.
Who wants to destroy Christian culture? Ask who feels threatened by Christian culture. There lies your answer. And their “tolerance” will first confound you, and
then it will destroy you.
Behind the protocols, the false flags. and the extensive social engineering to move the USA –> USSA there would seem to be one main rancid cult that seeks revenge after ~2000 years of rancor.
Speak clearly and openly. Name this cult, name your supposed enemy, otherwise it’s very clear that you know you’ll be ridiculed by any sane and thinking person for the vile implication you’re making. Amazing to think that commentators here understand and accept the goal of denazification in the SMO (at least they claim to understand), and yet spew this insane nazi nonsense at every turn.
The only cult that exists today among the elites of the western countries is the cult of capital, the cult of the imperialist bourgeois class, which places profits above everything, that wishes to subordinate every thing and every one to market forces and to commodification, to destroy the planet and all human civilization in service to their god Mammon (aka the almighty dollar). They are the enemies of ordinary Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, adherents of the church of the flying spaghetti monster, and all other working and oppressed peoples around the world. They exploit our labor and accumulate the product to themselves. They’re distinguished by their relationship to capital and the production process, not by cultural/religious/ethnic/etc. identity – although they rely on fascist rubes like some commentators on this website to confuse the working and oppressed classes about their real interests with nonsensical identity politics.
More precisely, the racist supremacist sects of Chabad Lubbevich, and B’nai Brith. Many gentile freemasons involved here as well as the homosexual mafia and hermetic cult of converso/murano’s in control of the Vatican via the Jesuits.
Most cogent comment on here so far. It is not just the dollar… it includes the Euro, The Yuan or renmimbi, it includes all money of every nation… and the practitoners are global, in every society. The latest efforts by corrupt, incompetent, WEAK Western neoliberals to subdue Russia employs many tools – cancel culture, sanctions, demonization.
Nothing new. Old methods dressed up in new terminology. Hannah Arendt won a Nobel prize for once again showing what everyone else in the world knows: people are sheep. Ben Bernanke was hailed as a financial genius for Quantitative Easing – a “new innovation” in finance. JP Morgan did that in 1907. Communism in The USSR was simply State Capitalism where citizens worked for pay and paid taxes and “voted”. Old ideas and evils dressed up in new terminology – the worst practitioners being Western neoliberals whose “innovations & ideas” are millennia old.
People confuse the methods (cancel culture for instance) with the basic reasoning – human greed.
Congratulations on the Russian success in liberating territory. Zelensky realizes that his neck is now on the chopping block… as evidenced by his desire to replace the head of SBU. Which group in Ukraine will be the first to eliminate Zelensky? The Ukronazis or rational Ukrainians who are not Ukronazis?
Agreed. Basically, it is Money that is at the root of much modern evil. However, there are an inordinately large percentage of Jewish Oligarchs in the modern Plutocrat Class. I am old enough to remember and despise anti-Jewish prejudice (especially against wealthy Jews) which was so widespread across Europe in the first half of the 20th century, and which caused a rush of sympathy for Jews after their special victim status in Nazified Europe during WW2. For this reason, since the postwar expansion of Israel, and the expansion of Jewish financial power in the second half of the 20th century I have been trying to warn my Jewish friends and relations of the danger of “chutzpah” (Gr. “hubris” — insolence inviting retribution from Divine Justice).
The old “anti-Semites” of my childhood are beginning to creep from under the rocks where they crawled to hide after WW2; encouraged by signs of a Newtonian “equal and opposite reaction” to the growth of Zionazism in Israel and Jewish Oligarchy in the EU$A and Anglo Five.
Gilad Atzmon has an informative thesis on why it is not just
“The only cult that exists today among the elites of the western countries is the cult of capital, the cult of the imperialist bourgeois class, which places profits above everything, that wishes to subordinate every thing and every one to market forces and to commodification, to destroy the planet and all human civilization in service to their god Mammon (aka the almighty dollar).”
Actually two books, “The Wandering Who”, and “Being in time”.
You could also check out Kevin MacDonald’s “The Culture of Critique”.
Shlomo Sand”s, “The Invention of the Jewish People”, is a knockout as well.
Unfortunately “Christian culture” doesnt mind its own business. It proselytizes. It is is obsessed with spreading the gospel and involving itself with “worldly” politics.
It cannot stay to itself. It is arrogant and demanding. It wants to control the reins of politics and decide for all people.
So yes, such a christian culture is demanding and violent and SHOULD be destroyed.
Isn’t the application of Christianity more than not often also cancel culture?
But I might agree with her thesis that lies are the devil. I just can’t see that the devil is against Christianity – not when it created the concept and compels its followers to give the devil so much thought and attention.
Another ignorant anti something. Christianity doesn’t do anything. People do things. They will do it under any religion, any banner, any idea, and even a haircut. Stop demonizing things. Things can’t act.
Don’t forget to grab a brain on your way to gun grabbing.
The devil wants to destroy the Christian way. This is clear from the beginning of the birth of Christ unto this day. In addition, every worldly culture wants to destroy Christianity because Christ message is freedom, justice, mercy, salvation, and obedience to one God. Worldly leaders think of themselves as god this demanding the obedience of the people thus going against the one true and living God, and desire to destroy everything godly.
Who would want to destroy Christian culture? Certainly not the devil. The devil would never think about that.
It must be somebody else.
The Joos? The Communists? The Nazism? The Anglo-Sax? No! It must be the Moslems because they ban the freedom to usury in our Christian Banks!
Well, the most obvious people who would wish to destroy ‘Christian Culture’ will be those who the Christian hierarchy has suppressed, oppressed, been racist toward etc etc.
The Christian Church was very intolerant of women not ‘knowing their place’ for centuries. For millennia, only men could be church officers. The church opposed birth control which was the single biggest emancipation event for billions of women.
The Christian Church opposed homosexuality for millennia. Indeed, homosexuality between consenting males was only legalised in the UK in the late 1960s and equality of age defining consent was only normalised between heterosexual and homosexual men several decades later in the UK. There is very little historical reason for any homosexual to have any tolerance toward the Christian Church, based not on its prophets, rather on its organisational behaviour (which is far more important for real life, after all).
Lots of people would have reason to destroy the more totalitarian minorities of the Christian Church if they tried to impose their dogmas on the whole world. Think the fundamentalists opposing abortion. Think the ridiculous rubbish of claiming the only way to create a lifelong single marriage is to be an innocent virgin at the altar and that divorcees should be ostracised in the church.
The Christian church’ behaviour since Jesus’ death has had very little in common with what ‘Christians’ claim that christianity is about. It is a monotheistic, dogmatic, top-down organisation that expects its congregation to know their place and fill the collection plate with coins and notes every Sunday.
This is not saying that there are better organisations than the Christian Church. It’s simply saying that trying to create a global monotheism is impossible without creating implacable enemies. It’s exactly the same for Judaism, Islam and, in the 21st century, American Sport.
Your opinion is largely formed by decades of antiChristian propaganda emanating from the mainstream media and establishment academia. In actual fact, the Christian Church, while not perfect, was a great force for good throughout the centuries. Are you even aware that the Church provided social security for the poor and destitute throughout the Middle Ages, and that they acted as protectors of the peasantry against state and aristocratic tyranny?
Can Christianity be a force for good? Yes. Are many Christians good people? Absolutely.
However? The following applies to ALL RELGIONS… not just Christianity…
And yet there is lots of bachi bazi-type boy-banging among priests and ministers whenever . FACT. Recently uncovered was the widespread abuse of children in the Southern Baptist Congregation here in The US. Great force for good providing social security throughout the centuries – sort of.
Like Christopher Columbus wiping out the entire native population of Cuba. Or the well documented child abuse (and even murder) by Christian authorities. WELL DOCUMENTED. The evidence is so overwhelming that I do not have to provide links. A simple Google search will suffice.
“…that they acted as protectors of the peasantry against state and aristocratic tyranny?” To establish ecclesiastical authority above aristocracy… much like politicians lie to their constituents to gain votes, votes used to establish their political legitimacy.
Are Christian leaders all bad? Some were better than others. Many simply turned out to be murderous psychopaths.
By the way? The term “homosexual” is a new addition to language, occurring around 1836. Any Bible that uses “homosexual” is a mistranslation. The commandment is different when the appropriate words are used… adult men shall not have sex in the behind-hole with little boys. Is the more accurate translation.
Also, when you worship the male? Higher proportion of those populations are homosexual. That is why the call it GREEK S*X.
The Gay Community – the extremists among the Gay Community who espouse teaching children to question their sexual identity at an early age and “gender identity (in denial of biological reality”? Abominations. Even to many Gays. The Gay Community has been fractured by Liberal Democrats – who employed identity politics – and paycheck-seeking Liberal Democratic LGBTQ+ types… There is an actual war going on between two groups – The Extremists and the rest of The Gays.
No one notices that LGBTQ+ is meant to create many groups… who then when the extremists take over, use each group to wage ideological war on each other. As to who represents the “pure” ideology. That happened with The French Revolution. Where one group was assassinated by another group, for not being “pure” enough. Then the more extreme extremists assassinated the less extreme extremists for not being “pure” enough. Napoleon put a stop to that, reestablishing aristocracy…. the British Crown eliminated Napoleon to reestablish the Old Order. The Polish Republic was eliminated by The Russian Empire, The Austro-Hungarian Empire, French and British aristocracy. For simply having the gall to elect a King every few years.
Liberal Democrats (business Conservatives as opposed to religious Conservatives) has weaponized identity politics against the Gay Community. By hiring the extreme-of-the-extreme Gay Liberal Democrats to lead the identity politics movement in the Gay Community. Republicans simply hate gays and want to exterminate them. Despite many of those same Republicans… being closeted Gays.
Well documented by whom? Why? To what end? I advise you to use your skepticism on everything and not just your own confirmation bias. Anyone can write anything and it would be well documented decades later.
This is not just a destruction of “Christian culture”, but the destruction of God’s work on earth.
They want to destroy God’s Creation and the “faith in oneself” in its purest state, that is to say in small children before any indoctrination by any “culture”.
– The Christian Church opposed homosexuality for millennia. Indeed, homosexuality between consenting males was only legalised in the UK in the late 1960s
Exactly
To destroy family they have to destroy Christianity
– Disintegration of the family as an institution and encourage promiscuity and easy divorce
– Elimination of prayer or any phrase of religious expression in the schools
What kept families together before there was Christianity? It certainly was NOT CHRISTIANITY. Families got along the same. Christianity is NOT NECESSARY for family. For Christians to claim that Christianity is necessary for family? Is pure ignorance and hubris and vanity and self-aggrandizement.
Before there was any Biblically based religion? THERE WERE FAMILIES. Unless you really believe that the Earth is 6500 years old. And that Pi is 3 and that bats are birds (all found in The Bible).
@R. Robertson: I agree with you. These Christians always think like they have invented all the natural and artificial institutions existing in the world. They always bring the argument of charity and “good” acts, but as Nietzsche admirably explained, that is 100% psychological scam.
In reality, Christianity is nothing but a heresy of Judaism, which expanded in Europe just like a virus, and gained power through political bribery, like a cancer within the weak and old Roman Empire, using a very fine art of storytelling in order to make everyone believe absurdities about “life after death”, “resurrection of the body”, “miracles of Christ” and other ridiculous inventions (like the “soul”, literally invented by S. Augustine 4 centuries after Jesus was born and absolutely non-existent before that in the Christian world nor in Judaism).
When Paul/Saul went to Athens, he had to measure his beliefs with what remained of the ancient Greek culture and mindset (a very European one, unlike the middle-eastern Christian one). They told him basically “yeah, please tell us your silly stories another time”. And rightfully so.
But I think you’re incorrect about the Christian stance against homosexuality throughout the years. “There is very little historical reason for any homosexual to have any tolerance toward the Christian Church”. Are you sure? I don’t think so. The Church has not always been obsessed with sexual behaviors like it is today, or it was one century ago. For example, during the middle-age onwards to the 16th century, one could enjoy a fairly big degree of liberty. Have you ever read the “Luxurious Sonnets” by Pietro Aretino? We don’t have to wait the atheist Masquis DeSade in order to read about sexual perversions and sexual freedom.
“Christian Church against homosexuals through the millennia” is just a shallow ideological sentence.
As for the women, well… what you call “emancipation” is just “capitalist slavery” to me. Basically women have fought almost 200 years to rise up to the desirable position of “slaves of the money-God”, in order to fuck whenever and whoever they want, having to get a job thus neglecting other traditional tasks, aborting if necessary, breaking relationship at will and putting a cross in a useless voting paper.
Is that an improvement? Yeah, sure…
One of the actually more objective comments in this place. I would still advice you to question a lot of that, because there’s only one fact about our history and that is that we don’t really know anything. It wasn’t well documented and whatever documents we find were written by humans with their flaws, biases and personal agendas.
– Conversely, what is proclaimed and practiced as tolerance today,
The quote is from a different time, when free speech was promoted in West. Marcuse argue that free speech was still an illusion.
Today free speech is not longer promoted. We are living in a different time.
The Lord is the root and offspring of David. How is this possible ? In limited human understanding it is not ! As you reflect on it you begin to be lifted up from the finite into the realm of the infinite. Herein lies the roots of Christianities faith in God Almighty. If you fear it you will be drawn back into the pseudo-safety of the finite. But you know in your heart of hearts there is no true safety there. The more you cling steadfastly to the finite the more you will serve the destruction of truth in the name of tolerance. The more you do this the more you will feel paranoid and insecure within.
As you labor over the future address of your eternal soul (heaven or hell) you will receive help regardless of the direction you traverse. As your general direction journey’s towards the finite those “evil spirits(fallen angels)” will endeavor to convince you that you must continue in that direction regardless of the cost to you or others. And so you may wind up surrounded with the most secure physical surroundings and the unbearable burden of an unconscionably immoral conscience.
As your general direction journey’s towards the infinite you will receive “good spirits”(angels faithful to God) that will help and encourage you to continue to place less and less weight on the physical aspects of this life and more on the spiritual realities in this life.
This is called separating the wheat from the chaff. Try to think in terms of opposites ! You know, like who the “empire of lies” the west says is winning and losing in the Ukrainian proxy war as opposed to the truth. When the wheat and the chaff are separated they are both thrown into the air and the wheat which has more substance falls back down and the chaff with the least substance is blown away.
There is no longer any doubt about it. American’s are being punished right now. This is similar to when God punished the Jew’s by sending them into exile in Babylon under King Nebuchadnezzar. God commanded the Jew’s to rest their cropland one year out of every seven, and for 490 years they failed to do that. So God took all 70 years of rest owing to the land by sending the Jew’s into exile for 70 years in Babylon. America now struggles under government leaders who came into office with premeditated treason in their hearts. God has decreed this. As it says in Lamentations(3:37)”what man can say it and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it ?”. But do not think poorly of the Americans. The majority of them are forthright, honest, live and let live citizens of the world who appreciate God’s blessings to them and would wish those same blessings on all peoples. But many things God does are blessings in disguise. The bible says that there is going to be what is called the “6th Trumpet” war (see book of Revelation) that will kill one-third of all of the people on the earth. What is sizing up could very easily turn into that war.
As my beloved says with some astonishment that I share, ” a lot of the people on the earth today don’t believe that there is a life after this one” ! Human souls are eternal. The question is where each individual one will spend eternity-heaven or hell. Those who don’t believe in an afterlife believe that whatever they think they got away with in this life will never be brought up again. Like the guy who supposedly confronted one of our former presidents after he was no longer president over his valid birth certificate which was later de-bunked and proven to have been a clumsy forgery. This former president supposedly said, “well it worked, didn’t it ?”.
Yes, America waltzed away from WW2 with the arrogance of having won the war single-handedly. General Eisenhower who was made supreme commander of all allied forces in Europe had never even led so much as a platoon in combat in his military career. As one of our other generals confessed, Eisenhower was elevated to that position because he was the “most political” of the choices.
The Americans played “cat and mouse” with the Russians over who was going to take the most casualties in defeating the Germans. The Russians took the brunt of the onslaught. We should be grateful to them for that if for nothing else. But we children of God are very grateful now that the Russians and their leadership are standing stronger for Christian principles than any other leaders in the world including the west. Don’t think for a minute that Christian Americans don’t recognize that and applaud it, and wish Russia success in all of their endeavors, and wish God’s blessings on them and their people. Amen
Where can we find such an inteligent woman in the collective west?
She amazes me every year more
Such a great personality in an important time and place on earth
You can only admire her sharpness
You can find many, may very intelligent men and women in the West, it’s just that they never express themselves in public like that because it would be an act of self-harm.
And the UK has…..Liz Truss! (no surprise she’s named after a medical device). But Maria Zakharova , what a deep and perceptive, erudite woman, a real credit to her sex and to Russia. Absolutely on point. (And very attractive to go with it)
I am more and more impressed with this woman each time I see her in action. I agree with her that it feels like we are at a major inflection point in world history and a necessary one at that.
Kudos to the staff for what must have been a very difficult translation.
I have posted this to my friends. A.J. Conyers, now deceased, wrote an incisive book on the use of tolerance as a weapon. Essentially, weaponized tolerance is the fox hoodwinking the chickens t o allow him to roost in the hen house. Conyers shows that tolerance as a weapon among Western liberals goes back at least as far as the Enlightenment. The title of the book is The Long Truce: How Toleration Made the World Safe for Power and Profit. I highly recommend it.
We have no spokesperson of the caliber of Mrs. Zakharova in the West. We could not have such because all of our spokespersons are agents of the Cancel Culture.
I have followed Mrs. Gabbard since her interview with President Assad back in 2015 or 2016; I have agreed and continue to agree with her stance on foreign policy and with her criticism of the warmongers in her own party, the Democrats, and in the Republican Party; however, Mrs. Gabbard has, over her political career, waffled and wobbled on certain core domestic issues. I would be surprised to learn that Mrs. Gabbard has the metaphysical insight into the Cancel Culture as does Mrs. Zakharova. Nevertheless, I am glad that we do have the voice of Mrs. Gabbard in the domain of foreign policy. She does seem to have the courage to swim against the current, as it were.
Sounds right on target, remember the other dimension of this is how webparized tolerance is used to invade institutions like college campuses or companies like a virus.
Off Topic. Mod-DA.
Actually, in the corridors of power in the West it is essential to bear false witness against neighbours, since it is the only way that they would not lose their careers in disgrace were the truth to be voiced sufficiently publicly.
It’s amazing how stressful it is having to go to work each day smiling at people you know are knifing your career.
The meaning of “sabotage” is in the context of warfare. “Sabotage” is some kind of warfare.
abstract
a: an act or process tending to hamper or hurt
b: deliberate subversion
Zakharova is hinting Cancel Culture is warfare, with a wide brush.
Of course Cancel Culture is warfare. How child care, primary school, … university can be used by department of defence to defeat f.instance a Stalin, is interesting. We all need to learn from the Jesuits.
I was paraphrasing the speaker’s words @ the 8:00 minute mark using brackets. Should have continued with the quotations.
Sorry for causing you any confusion.
Sabotage is from the French Sabot – a wooden shoe, thrown into textile mills, the industry of the time.
Sabotage is economic warfare, against one’s own people, nuclear industry, pipelines, production, the middle class.
Luddites were saboteurs.
a little too emotional she was, I think; I don’t listen to the details too closely; she has lived in Russia and interprets what she reads or hears only. “Cancel culture” has nothing to do with it in my opinion. There is cancelling, yes, but it’s something else. She should not put what is done to Russia in the context of American domestic politics (cancel culture); that’s part of the emotionalism that is not really good. I think she has a woman power in a male-dominated society over there (my guess). She comes on strong and the male peers act like everything is all right. Wikipedia describes the origins of this term as follows:
“‘Call-out culture’ has been in use as part of the #MeToo movement. The #MeToo movement encouraged women (and men) to call out their abusers on a forum where the accusations would be heard, especially against very powerful individuals. Additionally, the Black Lives Matter Movement, which seeks to highlight inequalities, racism and discrimination in the black community, repeatedly called out black men being killed by police.”
Yeah I hear what you mean. I was being funny or not serious with my comment. I do however think the Russian language sounds really nice hearing some women speaking it. But ecen though there’s many intellegent and probably capable women I’m a firm believer woman should focus on the role, honor, and responsibilities God intended. For sure in the west there’s too many women in government and business. The muslim idea about women Christianity would do well for itself embracing those ways. The biggest is modesty and not letting tneir women out running buck wild causing all kinds of trouble. These western American women out screaming hysterically about some fandom right to murder babies need a good measure of restrainment. They need to be married, pregnent, keep house and pleasing their husband. We need a law if you’re not married and pregnent by say 19 then off to work camp thatll end alot of this fornication and screaming about the so called rights of their vagina.
And George Soros’ Open Society Institute (from mentor Sir Karl Poppers book) is all about open democracy.
And NED, National Endowment for Democracy, is all about democracy,
And Color Revolutions are full spectrum improvement of the oppressed.
And BLM demos were peaceful.
Probably all Wiki, neutral POV, which H.G. Wells proposed in 1937, called “World Brain: The Idea of a Permanent World Encyclopedia.”
That proposal included the elimination, cancelling, of all national languages, in favor of Basic English. Looks like Kiev is well on the way to Fabian H.G.Wells’ universal fascism.
Open Society have conquered 30% of US universities (the Liberals ones).
(Now I will write a joke)
Open Society is a wealthy trader who retired and created a fundation with his profits. He (nazi during WWII) then re-educated himself from trading and economy into politics – and became a promoter of democracy and anti-racism
Sir George managed the Queens Quantum Fund, which nearly went belly up with the LTCM crash. Rumors are that Buckingham was NOT amused.
But never fear, the FED bailed it out in a mad crisis weekend.
The GKO Russian default triggered the LTCM crash and was well identified by Glazyev in 1998.
As Jimi Hendrix said now you don’t believe everything you see and hear, do you. E Michael Jones convincingly argued that Me Too was founded on the shame that inevitably follows after behaving like a whore. Casting Couch anyone? Also what was the name of George’s Second Grade teacher? The one who according to CNN held on to his essay for 38 years. Ah yh, Waynel Sexton.
BLM is in the core of Cancel Culture, what is (hybrid) warfare.
BLM are warriors of course.
Russia has observed how hybrid warfare is being employed by West, also against Russia.
Puzzy Riots is hybrid warfare (4th gen war)
What few know is Pride and LGBT are also hybrid warfare. Inside information reveals what purpose is = extermination of humanity.
Pride and LGBT is still legal most places, but it should have been defined as a crime.
BLM are wind up toys, useful idiots. If they were targeting the correct people it would be the ones funding them. Remember
the dangerous nature of cancel culture and BLM at Wokeness, is that it has a viral self propagating brainwash like a cult. It spreads like a cancer. they use peoples artificially induced guilt, to force the way into institutions and companies and colleges, etc. and take over. It’s literally like a parasitic infection.
So in effect they are “victims” but not in the way they themselves see it. They are victims as and being artificially induced to believe the false identity they are being fed, and are used like a hand grenade, a lynch mob to scare the rest of society into conformity with the hidden agenda. And that hidden agenda does not include them, they are just being used as a sledgehammer, as shock troops
Warriors they are not. They are wind up toy soldiers deployed by others without realizing the full scope of the game.
This i completely gospel for me. Who want’s to destroy christian culture? We all know the answer. Here it comes : the satanic world of the west. I can’t imagine more rotten place than the west of satan. When I first saw Maria for a few years ago I thought that here is woman with caliber. You could see the intelligence light up the whole room and that goes for many,many,many women from Russia. Then look at the leadership of Sweden and all the female people that runs the west in varied position of the politics and ministerial places. What do you see? Women that can’t even recognize the world they are living in. They fight Russia and they can’t even a little bit of the geography they will conquer. Such a stupidity. You can see far away,from a distance, that here comes full of nonsense. It’s impossible to make any such comparison.
This worship of her reminds me of “Evita” (Eva Peron). She has some of that skill, in fact. She’s playing her audience…she acts like a diva. Putin never even mentions her…she’s not but she acts as if she were his wife, now that I think of it. Seriously. She talks like an outspoken First Lady. I solved my riddle: She wasn’t a spokeswoman; she wasn’t Lavrov; she wasn’t a “Zar” as sometimes someone is nominated to be. I don’t know what she is, still, but it’s as if she were the First Lady – Eva – and everybody bows down to her.
‘
– Who want’s to destroy christian culture? We all know the answer.
According to canadafreepress.com link it is CFR
– Elimination of prayer or any phrase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principles of “separation of church and state”
Who? Check out “Europa, The Last Battle”. The very first part explains it from Moses Hess onward. It’s the Communist Manifesto stuff alive and well today with Claus Schwab and the World Economic Forum (WEF)
As an example of what the destruction of cancel culture entails, you can imagine the western media, if they even pick up on it, describe her thoughtful and perceptive analysis as “a rant”. (They have done the same to Putin).
Cancel Culture is more on level “nuking” than slander of Putin.
boys = girls
is ultimate Cancel Culture.
What is cancelled is “gender”.
Then they also have to cancel “male” and “female”, and “he” and “she”
When your child answer: -I don’t know … when asked: -Are you a boy?
then Cancel Culture is in action
“boys = girls” …is not a good example of “cancel culture.”
Rather, is an example of indoctrination of cultural expectations for sexual identity in future family role playing as a society.
Maria Zakharova is clearly on the mark with her definition. Cancel culture is slander whether it be against a person, or a representative of the state.
It is great to see an intelligent, moral and philosophical politician, in addition to being an attractive woman who is not ashamed to dress elegantly and show her beauty and femininity. She puts our Western leaders utterly to shame, and I am already ashamed of them and of the whole evil colonial process of the last 500 years which led to this moment. I also hate that people are being killed, but I understand Russia’s reasoning and think they are rooting out evil. It’s a pity that people have to be hurt and killed in the process. However Russia also has it’s share of corruption and I think we should be wary of idealising Russia. I would like to spend some time in that country and see how it really is for people, because many young Russians also feel stifled and leave there. I wonder if any of the commentators here have some direct experience of living in Russia which they could share?
“in addition to being an attractive woman who is not ashamed to dress elegantly and show her beauty and femininity.”
Great that she is not ashamed of that, but “addition” or “foundation”? Part of the foundation, let’s face it. She’s doing something wrong, though, because she should not be, in her position, the center of personal attention, right? Knowing the power of elegance and attractiveness, she talks for a long time, but I see her gaining weight (I could be wrong).
The west is truly doing all it can to “cancel” Russia. Now, they are planning to ban the importation of Russian gold. Expect the price of gold to skyrocket just as oil and gas has. It will be the west that actually gets canceled!
– Expect the price of gold to skyrocket
Exactly. I predicted BTC would go to $100, and no I predict gold will go to $10,000 and Apple will go to $1.
My slogan:
– Exactly as I predicted!
More likely to be Lavrov’s successor, in as much as she really only has experience in Foreign policy arenas. But her name is certainly worthy of being thrown into the ring?
Isn’t this exactly what is happening today? It ain’t a spontaneous, creative coincidence, we are looking at planned projects.
And then realize that this is from 1963. I grant those blokes that they have quite some patience. I even more wonder whether there is some Plan B, when things screw up.
– Promotion of free trade between all nations regardless of communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war
– Promotion of the United Nations as the “only hope for mankind”
– Disintegration of the family as an institution and encourage promiscuity and easy divorce
– Elimination of prayer or any phrase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principles of “separation of church and state”
– Acquisition of all key positions in radio, TV, and motions pictures
“Disintegration of the family” = cancel culture
“Elimination of prayer ” = cancel culture
At present time we can add
– Promote CO2 as bad for plants
– Create school massacres. Promote guns are the cause for the massacres
– Promote vaccines should be mandatory and that unvaccinated are causing pandemics
This is not a philosophy. The destruction of other cultures has been the “white man’s burden” since the fifteenth century when he discovered other worlds with military inferiority and has cost mankind millions upon millions of lives in just six centuries.
Let us remember that Pope Borgia or Alexander VI in 1492 gave the go-ahead for Christians to kill, enslave and rob non-whites, the great crime of Roman Christianity.
By the way, two days ago the 1864 order to kill and rob the indigenous population was repealed in Colorado. And this has been the source of wealth for Western whites and not of work as some believe.
Thanks again and congratulations Maria Zakharova for an excellent presentation.
However, as your English is excellent, well articulated with hardly any Russian accent, I would strongly recommend that you present the same AGAIN in English.
As duly noted by some grumpy comments here – an intelligent, attractive Russian woman speaking Russian is just toooo… enticing – even seducing!!!
I wholly agree – living among majority Russian speakers (very reserved and often avoiding eye contact) and listening to the delightful Russian radio stations in a NATO vassal state….
Also remember that many of higher echelon Russian diplomats speak better English than most anglo-zionist presstitute journalists and experts !!!(perverts – more appropriate..)
Agree. Any presentation, song, melody, poem, is ALWAYS best in the original language so far as the original language is not manipulated with newspeak and woke which is the condition in many Western countries; Sweden, US, Norway, New Zealand, m.m.
This lady is astonishingly powerful. In my experience, she terrifies many of those who go by the name Western. Her logic is almost other worldly effective for me as an English speaker. Goddess?
Some observations (Rough and pertinent rendition from daodejing, beginning of Section1)
Creation varies
Name distinguishes
Creation is of no name
Other than for want of a name
(First line may be rendered as “dao allows all”)
Now we need question the word name above.
Is the name used with desire?
Is the name used as a benign convenience?
The latter makes of the name nothing but chugou (ancient zhong word meaning literally straw dog; a dirt cheap sign initially made to represent or refer to an idea or event of topical interest. This straw effigy is abandoned or tossed aside immediately the meeting or ceremony of remembrance is concluded)
Proselytizing Christian (Jesus never used the latter word, and without wishing to offend anyone it must be said her never used any word resembling the import of the word Christ) cultures are radical and therefore most dangerous sources of Cancel Culture. Indeed, identity as Christian (or similar related words such as Westerner or, most shockingly/stupidly/amusingly, currently American) is amazingly expressive of a cancel culture for it is so often set against all others. This makes proselytizing in any name of such as God into the ultimate insult to any other, for it implies any other is in error (effectively cancelled), that is unless they listen to (and follow) the one proselytizing, so often logically identifying the latter with God The Father Himself.
Yet the understanding of an origin, or creator (God, if any wish, even though Jesus never used the word or anything similar no matter how any Christian or other translates his words) as common father is necessarily nothing less than expressive of humanity as one family.
I like to dwell in a very simple truth. Jesus never claimed to be anything more than the brother of all, so welcoming us all into one family. He never claimed any special status or godhead. He just claimed to be our sibling just as we are of all others. His definition of who he is referring to in the New Testament as My Father is the father of all (as zhong traditionally expresses it, “the father of all ten thousand”). He was never denying he had brothers and sisters or that he was in any way the only one. To give some or other a name as in Christian, and some such Father a name as in Jesus, God, YHWH or Allah effectively makes a mockery of the very idea of a common (however chugou) deity as origin of all and subverts Jesus’ life and word.
Getting away from such a massive conceit is easy: my readers here as well as all who do not read here are of common family. Jesus is my brother as he is theirs, intrinsically and undeniably no more or less than one of us. If any of us wish use the word God or any other such name, well God (or any other) is father of all. If not, we trash the word father in this context.
The word God used so safely remains nothing but a straw dog, a beneficial, easy, effective way of communicating a ginormous concept.
Interestingly, the zhong (chinese) word dao (道) of laozi or daodejing fame is specifically of no name. Its use can be excused as for want of a name. Often inadequately but usefully translated as way, it may equally invalidly be translated as all, in that it is never any one way or any one of all.
“This lady is astonishingly powerful. In my experience, she terrifies many of those who go by the name Western. Her logic is almost other worldly effective for me as an English speaker. Goddess?”
No, smitten.
“…never used any word resembling the import of the word Christ”
It’s in the N.T. “Who do you say that I am?”, “Thou sayest it.” It’s all over. He was the Messiah to his followers.
“I like to dwell in a very simple truth. Jesus never claimed to be anything more than the brother of all, so welcoming us all into one family. He never claimed any special status or godhead. He just claimed to be our sibling just as we are of all others.”
The Jesus of the NT is very Jewish. There’s the time when he liked that Gentiles were compared to “dogs” who should be able to eat the crumbs (“great is your faith”). At the cafe we could get into it more someday. Only after the resurrection in the N.T. does he say to his followers that they must preach to the Gentiles. Some or even many theologians argue that this part was added to the texts as one of the last things written. They are right. In Acts, Peter does not know this order! He receives a vision from heaven and then he knows he can preach and even approach the Gentiles. But in the Gospels, he is supposed to have been present when the resurrected Jesus told the disciples to go preach to the world. This message to go out to the Gentiles could only surprise or shock them because he never went to them here (other than when helping some Gentiles or non-Jews who came to him or that accepted him as the Messiah). They were Jews forbidden from doing that according to Peter himself. This shows the radicalism that existed at the time at least when the book of Acts was written, because the Jews were at this time very much integrated with the communities of the other places (nations) in which they lived. In Rome, they kept their own religion and customs but they (Jews) allowed others to visit their synagogues. They spoke to Gentiles in their nations! The Roman writer/poet Ovid mentions in one of his “love” books that a young lad should go there – to a synagogue – because it was a good place to find (Gentile) ladies. I don’t remember why, but Ovid wrote that around the time Jesus would have been a child (+/- ten years).
“He never claimed any special status or godhead. He just claimed to be our sibling just as we are of all others.”
He claims a special status in the N.T. He made clear that he came from heaven directly. Among us, he was like a “total revolutionary.” He was very romantic/idealistic/affectionate with his followers. It’s easy to know the Jesus of the texts. He told them that they would do the same miracles he did and even bigger ones and he meant it. True, he did not see himself as “God.” He was Jewish; that’s Gentile stuff. People do what you are doing and invent all kinds of religious theories. According to the N.T., he was deity because of the Father and without the Father he “could do nothing”, or was nothing. He indicated that he was their brother and their friend, and his Father was their Father too, but he – not they – was sent by Him; at all times it was clear that he was their divine teacher. He was really saying in other words, “you are created, I am created, we are bothers.”
Yours is a half-truth. I think the Church says he was speaking only as a human when he said we are brothers, and that he is our brother today only because of his human experience. I disagree because I think that he spoke as his eternal self always, as the one who came from heaven. I think you are closer to the truth on “brother” than the Church is.
Thanks for the reply. I enjoyed reading it. Yes I made some leaps and we could argue the result for ever. But then the Bible and New Testament are writings of of agenda/Belief/Faith and prove nothing but what the reader seeks/intends. So I read them just as you do but with different expectations. Perhaps the difference of note between us is my expectations or hopes press me to seek probabilities and possibilities in adventure while yours seek confirmation and something approaching certainty. . Please note the perhaps and thankyou again.
” Jesus never claimed to be anything more than the brother of all, so welcoming us all into one family. He never claimed any special status or godhead. He just claimed to be our sibling just as we are of all others.
As all of us who live in the West knows, there are many truths. Therefore this is the truth for James, and you have your truth and I have my truth about it, and then we are equality!
“The fact that I fell means nothing. It’s just that the floor in the temple is so new, shiny, you can look into it. And when water falls on it, even if it is holy, the laws of physics still work,”
Something that Kant, the anti-philosopher, the Omnipulverizer as Heinrich Heine wrote in Religion and Philosophy in Germany, absolutely forbade with his Categorical Imperative – The Arts, Science and Religion to remain eternally separate. Patriarch Kirill in 1 minute said it perfectly!
For an insight on destruction, see Heine’s work here (finest German poet, but no-one knows this work) : https://archive.org/details/religionandphilo00heinuoft
On Kant and the Romantic Movement :
“What a strange contrast did this man’s outward life
present to his destructive, world-annihilating thoughts!
In sooth, had the citizens of Königsberg had the least
presentiment of the full significance of his ideas, they
would have felt a far more awful dread at the presence of
this man than at the sight of an executioner, who can but
kill the body. But the worthy folk saw in him nothing
more than a Professor of Philosophy, and as he passed
at his customary hour, they greeted him in a friendly
manner and set their watches by him. ”
American poet, Edgar Poe, wrote that Kant can’t do it, and this is why Percy Shelley In Defence of Poetry wrote that poets are the true legislators.
By some unknown coincidence, Königsberg, Kaliningrad, is right now a major crisis point.
“For an insight on destruction, see Heine’s work here (finest German poet, but no-one knows this work)”
I have a book from him. I know his importance in his time. He was a Jewish apologist. He had some personal problems (suicidal?). He did not understand Kant. He was not smart for that. He was probably bothered by yet one more Gentile who was greater than any Jewish thinker. You can actually see that in the quote. I have looked for the allegedly great ones like Heine and purchased what they wrote as much as I could. Please don’t mention Maimonides because I have all he wrote and can quote him. Unheralded but great Jewish thinkers were the liberal-libertarian economists Mises and Rothbard (but wrong too, right?).
I criticize Kant for not having a glossary of terms for his books, especially since he came up with new terms. On religion, I don’t like that he was ready to accept what he thought was false but sought to use anyway as supportive of his philosophy, and also to have his philosophy or reason be the standard bearer for what the gospels meant to say. In other words, he made clear that it didn’t matter what the Gospels said if they contradicted philosophy or reason, that in that case they just had to be reinterpreted so as to make them coincide, and at the same time he said the gospels presented the perfect morality (he was puritanical).
Kant was a great philosopher, bonbon. The well-known Bishop Williamson also condemns Kant and blames him for the evil of modernity, for being “destructive.” He also doesn’t know Kant. It’s a false accusation. Try quoting a bad “categorical imperative” from Kant sometime, one that shows “destructive, world-annihilating thoughts!” (Heine). “Easier said than found” (new proverb).
That’s where the problem comes from – now apparent to Russia, endemic in the USA/UK/EU.
Kant was an anti-philosopher – replacing Leibniz’s Monad with the ” thing in itself” .
When one sees EU political parties doing an annual pilgrimage to Kant’s Königsberg where that statue was the only thing left standing (and a school) after WWII, one knows why these parties are history.
LOL! The famous pranksters Vaughan and Lexus are at SPIEF!
The spoke as Zelensky to Rowling, of Harry Potter fame! Rowling was cancelled recently, but :
“Is it possible to somehow remove the scar in the form of the letter Z in connection with the geopolitical situation. Put a Ukrainian trident and make a hairstyle is a Ukrainian chub,” the pranksters told her on behalf of Zelensky.”
And
“”And we also want to invite you to read Harry Potter to the soldiers of the Azov battalion * (criminal cases have been initiated against members of the organization in Russia). They have a library club. They like to read a lot, especially German literature. Just don’t read the passages about them being nationalists and don’t like other people,” Vovan & Lexus said.”
And
At the same time, during the prank, Rowling agreed to buy missiles and send them with a deadly curse against the republics of Donbass, using Rowling’s Lumos children fund’s money! https://readovka.news/news/101139
Exposed the cancel and anti-cancel as being 2 sides of the same coin!
Heinrich Heine in Religion and Philosophy in Germany, wrote P120 ,
But is it not conceivable that Kant brought about this
resurrection, not merely for the sake of old Lampe, but
through fear of the police ? Or did he act from sincere
conviction ? Was not his object in destroying all evidence
for the existence of God to show us how embarrassing it
might be to know nothing about God ? In doing so, he
acted almost as sagely as a Westphalian friend of mine,
-who smashed all the lanterns in the Grohnder Street in
Gottingen, and then proceeded to deliver to us in the dark
a long lecture on the practical necessity of lanterns, which
he had theoretically broken in order to show how, without
them, we could see nothing.
This sure looks like the destruction of German energy, industry, farming today – it is Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Arendt’s idol.
Will we be then given long lectures in the cold dark autumn evenings on the practical necessity of Russian gas?
Kant destroyed deism, God, to let Him back in by little back door for Lampe, his practical servant.
This is why it takes a Poet to identify what is going on.
“Kant destroyed deism, God, to let Him back in by little back door for Lampe, his practical servant.
This is why it takes a Poet to identify what is going on.” “Kant, the anti-philosopher”.
Don’t let Heine influence you. Kant was a Deist in every way. He wrote that Deists “admit that we may know the existence of an original Being by mere reason.”
Consider these spiritual words of Kant written in his Critique of Practical Reason book:
“Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within.”
Kant, as Heine makes bitingly clear – allowed “Supreme Lord of the World” to reenter neatly via a little back door (in Practical Reason), after He had “been swimming in His blood” (in Critique of Pure Reason).
Kind of catches the wretched Omnipulverizer”s world-destroying work that the Uni’s set their watches to, utterly oblivious, typical today. They should have a far more awful dread at the presence of this man than at the sight of an executioner, who can but kill the body.
Zakharova gets close to this “destructiveness”, Heine nailed it.
Kant is a liar – he went after Leibniz, the top Deist, using the straw dog of Critical Reason which does not exist.
Creative Reason was Kant’s target, the Capax Dei, that Zakharova refers to as creativity.
Which is why Edgar Poe wrote Kant can’t do it – he has cancelled creativity.
Like Heine in the quote, you are just making allegations. That’s bad. Please present quotes from Immanuel Kant that prove or show what you (both of you) said.
Read the Fragment linked above. It really is amazing no-one knows Heine’s Religion and Philosophy in Germany.
Not banned, even DDR people, experts on Marx, Heine’s poetry, never heard of this. Was it banned in the Comecon?
Cancelling, straw dogs, is not new with Twitter/FB/Instagram – they just automated it.
bonbon, you should be able to quote something from the accused himself (“liar” Kant) if there is something so terrible.
Heine was a Jewish German and lived in the 19th century. Jews were not popular then but he became famous as a . That has something to do with it. Others don’t think he’s great. I have a book titled, “The Story of the Jews” by James K Hosmer (published in 1886). Hosmer admired the Jewish people, and he has a chapter on Heine. One of the subtitles is “He utters the Hebrew soul.” Is he well-known among Jews today? Hosmer says he became very famous in Germany. The Germans were, I can’t even finish even one poem. I don’t like him. I can read more substantial Jews. He was a “poet” (not a philosopher) who was “outlawed” by the German rulers because he scorned them, living in Paris after that. Kant was/is one of the great German thinkers, a source of pride for them. If among other things he was insulting Kant back then, that may have been a little too much in the 19th century. Many must have disliked him like I do. Like I say, I cannot even finish one poem in front me. Thanks, you made me reach for this book.
As Zakharova mentions the Greeks – in pre-christian times, Egypt desperately needed a force to counter Persia, singled out the Ionians, and sent them a gift, that only Egyptians would do – a god, Neith.
Known as Athena in Greek.
Anyone who wanted to take Athena on in battle, had a real bad day.
Greek Alexander then destroyed 2 times Persia by going straight for it’s religious center, Persopolis.
Later Christian Paul referred to the Roman Empire, as the guess-what of Babylon – the capital of the Persian Empire.
Venice resurrected Babylon – see the winged lions and the pylon at Piazza San Marco.
The Venetian Party of the City of London invented Central Banking, today’s utterly bankrupt assault on Russia.
The irony of her imagining that Christianity embraces objective reality. I like Zakharova, but this nonsensical philosophical effusion is so full of bologna, dont know where to start.
Most importantly Christianity does NOT embrace objective reality. It is a bronze age sky god mythology that EXPLICITLY teaches that was is most real–cannot be seen.
The history of the spread of an obscure levantine cult to become (arguably) the “foundation of western civilization” is PRECISELY one of cancellation of indigenous worldviews, imperialism, royal diktat and inquisition (in the West AND the East.)
Israelite conversion in Canaan was ca. 1300 bce, squarely in the bronze age. Now feel free to explain why Christ was not a jew or the prophesized messiah.
Moses, as is ironically said in Israel, led them from Egypt to the only place with no oil!
Lately they have found oil/gas, so maybe Moses had the long view in mind.
Moses – Ekhanaten, is the first Mono Theist which he learnt from his Hittite wife Nefertiti.
Not bad for 1100BCE.
Christianity, the new Testament are Iron age.
As regards reality – can you kick a Gravity, smell a Gravity? You can know Universal Gravity – Kepler being the unique discoverer. De Docta Ignoranta is the founding science document, and Kepler the first physicist.
And as Leibniz proved – vis-viva, living force is key to motion, something outside all Aristotle’s senses.
You clearly understand nothing of modern Russia’s soul, and its heart, what makes it tick, outside perhaps what you found in a few strip bars or nightclubs in Moscow or St. Petersburg? No offense, but I invite you to spew that nonsense among some frontline Russian Army combat personnel. Hope you have a good dental plan!
The perspective in which she places Christianity is within Russian culture, history and ethnicity. It is an expression of Russian People’s existence, resistance and self-determination. These dumb Westerners cross/intersect their Christianities with Russian Orthodox Church.
And she doesn’t care if you’re a liberal/progressist/illuminist/atheist or a zealot religious theistic conservative Christian because, collectively, if you’re western, all of you are canceling Russia according to your provincial and supposedly superior (moral) interpretation of the world.
Putin has already given the message: goodbye West!
The Jews created Political Correctness from their Frankfort School in German. They made it verboten to criticize any of their murderous, deviant behavior.
As Kant the canceller appeared in the thread, Westerners must inform themselves that after Kant’s Omnipulverizer attack on Leibniz, Creative Reason (See the Monadology) is extremely relevant:
Guess where Benjamin Franklin got “Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness” – straight from Leibniz’s Securitas Publicas.
Leibniz is the founder of modern economy, progress, creative reason with industry.
Putin, Zakharova, Glazyev at SPIEF fully acknowledge creative progress, problem solving no matter what comes Russia’s way. That is really can-do, not Kant can’t do!!!
The USA is going back to the Moon – SLS tests proceed, carefully. Russia sent Gagarin first to orbit. Looks like, to me Russia and the USA both dump Kant!
I think Newton demonstrated that Leibniz plagiarized him on Calculus. Both are recognized as the inventors of Calculus only because of prejudice against Newton. If you think about it, it’s improbable that both would discover it at the same time! Maybe one day the clear and strong demonstration of Newton will be accepted. Leibniz kept writing to Newton. Newton only responded. Leibniz kept asking him about Calculus. I see in your comment that Kant didn’t like him either for other reasons. Leibniz lied about being the inventor of Calculus.
You seem to be distorting Kant regarding Leibniz: “Kant describes Leibniz as one of the greatest and most successful reformers of the modern era (9:32), along with John Locke, and as a genius, along with Isaac Newton (7.226). Yet he also refers repeatedly to the errors of the Leibnizians, whom he considers “dogmatic” philosophers” (Stanford Encyclopedia). You must have at least one quote to show “Kant’s Omnipulverizer attack on Leibniz.”
Very interresting talk and perspectives. Food for thought. I have to agree, Cancel culture is actually worse then I thought … considered it more as a neutralizing fenomena … but it is actually destructive. Terrible.
Re Maria Zakharova
This brilliant, gifted woman of incomparable eloquence and simply astonishing standalone shining intellect
continually beautifully proves how far beyond Russia is to any and all lesser creatures and nations in this yet inhuman, primitive world. The few literate ones of us desperately hoping and dreaming somehow for a better, enlightened civilization for our children are simply outrageously blessed with this magnificent Russian dancing candle in the night.
Dressing up old practices in new terms is nothing new. Much like Wall Street recycles old frauds by naming it something new. The “new” frauds are simply the old frauds with lots of “New Speak”.
Maria Zakharova does good work. However, if the translation is correct, a few notes…
Cancellation culture is simply a modern term for “crushing dissent”. It is a tool of the elites to crush and disenfranchise their enemies. And for that, they must train their warriors.
Cancel culture is an extension of identity politics. A way for those in power to silence their enemies without having to kill them. Identity politics in the U.S. is used by Liberal Democrats (business conservatives as opposed to religious conservatives of The Republican Wing of the Uniparty) to further divide their enemies on The Left. Much like the Uniparty of Democrats and Republicans use to divide the public along social divisions by using abortion, culture war, etc.
Cancel Culture is a cancer on The West, a method of control and divisiveness of our own populations. Where the wicked and greedy seek to silence their opponents. The increasingly desperate measures that our Western Oligarchs have to utilize in order to maintain their position on top of society.
Now, back to Maria Zakharova and her words.
Western Civilization is built on Christianity… which represents “creation and creativity”. Despite the widespread, factual evidence that Christianity is one of control and destruction of dissent. From burning libraries to spreading faith-based science to massacres of non-believers. “Tolerance” – what there is – of other religions by Christians is a very fragile development in Modern Christianity. That “tolerance” is more of a lid on a rapidly, violently boiling kettle of water. The pressure builds up.
A word of note, the above is applicable to just about all religions whether those religions are extinct or not. Religions wage war on each other with occasional truce.
I love Maria Zakharova’s astute observation… “cancel culture is the culture of destruction”… The Left in The U.S. is frequently a victim of Cancel Culture as Liberal Democrats seek to protect their Conservative Business practices related to Globalism & Wall Street & The MIC… as cancel couture warriors are the usual Liberal Democrats who do it for the money; whose livelihoods and paychecks and fat bank accounts rely on the perpetuation of cancel culture.
Cancel culture is an evolution of identity politics. A historical perspective of modern identity politics in The US begins with The Moral Majority – a political Christian Identity movement whose ultimate goals are to cancel non-Christians in The United States. The Moral Majority is responsible for electing Ronald Reagan. The Moral Majority’s founding members included Laszlo Pasztor, a Hungarian Nazi (during WWII) whose last visit to the White House was in 2005 where he was honored.
Maria Zakharova also mentions “Cancel culture is the culture of destruction…”. Earlier she described Christianity being the foundation of Western Civilization… being “of creation and creativity”. Only if it serves Christianity – in the arts & humanities, and in science where conformity to Christian beliefs is to override all other works and scientific theories. All art & humanities is to be one of depicting God. All science is to reinforce the teachings of The Bible. Pi is 3… bats are birds…
Maria Zakharova engages in her own propaganda… very subtle yet noticeable.The subtext.. and it is not very subtle is… HOLY WAR. Only Christian – specifically Russian Orthodox – “creation & creativity” can be used to defeat Cancel Culture. Christianity – whether Catholic or other – has a very long history of cancelling people – often violently. The Catholic Church being the most prominent practitioner. The Orthodox Church is not innocent either.
Speaking of cancellation culture? One famous person canceled by Christianity?
Galileo Galilei. CANCELED. Native Americans… too many were canceled. Ethnic minorities the world over have had Christian cancel culture visited upon them. With Catholicism being the most successful in cancelling untold millions of people from life.
Western Civilization is in DESPITE of Christianity. Where people turned to science instead of mysticism to explain the natural world. Where the Christians – as they have throughout history – sought to limit learning and the spread of knowledge. Where all arts where to be of jBiblical origin. Where “humanities” was to be solely from God. Where Science was to serve Christianity. Despite all of this, enough people rebelled with the advancing knowledge against religion & mysticism. So much so that Christianity has had to accept that knowledge and attempt to synthesize it with their religious beliefs. Big Bang Theory being one such monumental effort.
Anything not Christian is Satanic. That’s how Christians cancel others. 2000 years of it.
Cancel culture is simply another old evil. There is nothing Satanic about it. It is simple desire, greed, and power. The Bible is not needed to explain this. Satan is not needed to explain human behavior. There is nothing mystical about such that requires mysticism.
Evil is engendered through biology and culture. Psychopaths are usually born that way. Nazis were a culture run by psychopaths. Businesses the world over – as well as governments – frequently are found to have psycopaths as executives or owners or politicians.
I can appreciate Christians… when they are not trying to oppress people. As for The Bible? The Christians left a text out… thought they rewrote it for their own religion… without giving appropriate credit to the original pagan writers…
The Sumerian Flood Story that vastly predates the rewritten, Christianized account found in the Bible. Have a shout out to God’s Wife.. still mentioned in the Bible… Asherah. Her name is still there in The Bible. She was mostly written out of Judaic practices by powerful men who further shaped modern Christianity.
I would also mention this is about love versus hate. Creativity is based on love and aims to lift not only the self, but for others as well, charity. Hate is all about trespassing upon others to gain advantage.
All of the political correctness including cancel culture, is A devious and dishonest psychological strategy aimed on gaining advantage via guilt-tripping of others, to mentally beat them into submission.
Also, hate begets more hate, it has a viral-like contagious quality. All of these psychological attacks have this characteristic of an invasive species, A virus that spreads through weak minds, using hate as the driver.
I suggest a metaphor for so-called “Cancel Culture”: It is a decision making process which employs a coin toss as the means of making all decisions. However, in the case of the Cancel Culture , the coin is flipped and the result (heads or tails) is called by just one side. Indeed the coin is only ever seen by that same one side (the side which makes the toss and calls the result). Furthermore, the announced result of the toss cannot be challenged. Indeed, to even suggest that a legitimate challenge to the announced result is possible is in itself a crime that must be punished by death. Cancel Culture is thus the ultimate manifestation of one-sidedness, taken to such absurd extremes that only one side can even exist. It would be like imagining one hand clapping. Like a coin toss of a coin that has only a one side (not two) despite the physical impossibility of such an arrangement. An opinion for which there is no counter. A singularity of such utter lack of dimension that it is not even a one dimensional point . . . but is instead . . . . literally . . . . . nothing at all. A form of death. The culture of death. In other words, a Death Cult.
Is there a written transcript (in English) of this? I’ve listened to the video, and what Ms. Zakharova has to say makes sense, and, as I see it, is a perceptive understanding. I’d like to find a written translation that I could read and study at length.
https://www.marcuse.org/herbert/publications/1960s/1965-repressive-tolerance-fulltext.html
“THIS essay examines the idea of tolerance in our advanced industrial society. The conclusion reached is that the realization of the objective of tolerance would call for intolerance toward prevailing policies, attitudes, opinions, and the extension of tolerance to policies, attitudes, and opinions which are outlawed or suppressed. In other words, today tolerance appears again as what it was in its origins, at the beginning of the modern period–a partisan goal, a subversive liberating notion and practice. Conversely, what is proclaimed and practiced as tolerance today, is in many of its most effective manifestations serving the cause of oppression.”
Now who would want to destroy Christian culture? That is a confusing question and I just can’t imagine.
“Now who would want to destroy Christian culture?”
The answer lies in the very first years, the very beginning, of Christianity. That saw the birth of Christian culture, and one people and one people only has taken on that birth as as existential threat.
Who wants to destroy Christian culture? Ask who feels threatened by Christian culture. There lies your answer. And their “tolerance” will first confound you, and
then it will destroy you.
Who are you writing about?
BTW, “lies” is a homonym for “lies”.
Who indeed?!
Behind the protocols, the false flags. and the extensive social engineering to move the USA –> USSA there would seem to be one main rancid cult that seeks revenge after ~2000 years of rancor.
Speak clearly and openly. Name this cult, name your supposed enemy, otherwise it’s very clear that you know you’ll be ridiculed by any sane and thinking person for the vile implication you’re making. Amazing to think that commentators here understand and accept the goal of denazification in the SMO (at least they claim to understand), and yet spew this insane nazi nonsense at every turn.
The only cult that exists today among the elites of the western countries is the cult of capital, the cult of the imperialist bourgeois class, which places profits above everything, that wishes to subordinate every thing and every one to market forces and to commodification, to destroy the planet and all human civilization in service to their god Mammon (aka the almighty dollar). They are the enemies of ordinary Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, adherents of the church of the flying spaghetti monster, and all other working and oppressed peoples around the world. They exploit our labor and accumulate the product to themselves. They’re distinguished by their relationship to capital and the production process, not by cultural/religious/ethnic/etc. identity – although they rely on fascist rubes like some commentators on this website to confuse the working and oppressed classes about their real interests with nonsensical identity politics.
“Speak clearly and openly. Name this cult, name your supposed enemy, otherwise …” No problemo. The cult is Talmudic Judaism.
The Truman Show.
and political zionism+ the so called judeo xtian zionist that cooperate with the talmudic pharisees.
More precisely, the racist supremacist sects of Chabad Lubbevich, and B’nai Brith. Many gentile freemasons involved here as well as the homosexual mafia and hermetic cult of converso/murano’s in control of the Vatican via the Jesuits.
Most cogent comment on here so far. It is not just the dollar… it includes the Euro, The Yuan or renmimbi, it includes all money of every nation… and the practitoners are global, in every society. The latest efforts by corrupt, incompetent, WEAK Western neoliberals to subdue Russia employs many tools – cancel culture, sanctions, demonization.
Nothing new. Old methods dressed up in new terminology. Hannah Arendt won a Nobel prize for once again showing what everyone else in the world knows: people are sheep. Ben Bernanke was hailed as a financial genius for Quantitative Easing – a “new innovation” in finance. JP Morgan did that in 1907. Communism in The USSR was simply State Capitalism where citizens worked for pay and paid taxes and “voted”. Old ideas and evils dressed up in new terminology – the worst practitioners being Western neoliberals whose “innovations & ideas” are millennia old.
People confuse the methods (cancel culture for instance) with the basic reasoning – human greed.
Congratulations on the Russian success in liberating territory. Zelensky realizes that his neck is now on the chopping block… as evidenced by his desire to replace the head of SBU. Which group in Ukraine will be the first to eliminate Zelensky? The Ukronazis or rational Ukrainians who are not Ukronazis?
Agreed. Basically, it is Money that is at the root of much modern evil. However, there are an inordinately large percentage of Jewish Oligarchs in the modern Plutocrat Class. I am old enough to remember and despise anti-Jewish prejudice (especially against wealthy Jews) which was so widespread across Europe in the first half of the 20th century, and which caused a rush of sympathy for Jews after their special victim status in Nazified Europe during WW2. For this reason, since the postwar expansion of Israel, and the expansion of Jewish financial power in the second half of the 20th century I have been trying to warn my Jewish friends and relations of the danger of “chutzpah” (Gr. “hubris” — insolence inviting retribution from Divine Justice).
The old “anti-Semites” of my childhood are beginning to creep from under the rocks where they crawled to hide after WW2; encouraged by signs of a Newtonian “equal and opposite reaction” to the growth of Zionazism in Israel and Jewish Oligarchy in the EU$A and Anglo Five.
Gilad Atzmon has an informative thesis on why it is not just
“The only cult that exists today among the elites of the western countries is the cult of capital, the cult of the imperialist bourgeois class, which places profits above everything, that wishes to subordinate every thing and every one to market forces and to commodification, to destroy the planet and all human civilization in service to their god Mammon (aka the almighty dollar).”
Actually two books, “The Wandering Who”, and “Being in time”.
You could also check out Kevin MacDonald’s “The Culture of Critique”.
Shlomo Sand”s, “The Invention of the Jewish People”, is a knockout as well.
Yes, the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.Let’s see if this post makes it past the censors.
Unfortunately “Christian culture” doesnt mind its own business. It proselytizes. It is is obsessed with spreading the gospel and involving itself with “worldly” politics.
It cannot stay to itself. It is arrogant and demanding. It wants to control the reins of politics and decide for all people.
So yes, such a christian culture is demanding and violent and SHOULD be destroyed.
Read the Great Commission given by Christ himself.
Isn’t the application of Christianity more than not often also cancel culture?
But I might agree with her thesis that lies are the devil. I just can’t see that the devil is against Christianity – not when it created the concept and compels its followers to give the devil so much thought and attention.
Better to consider the lie as block rot evil.
Another ignorant anti something. Christianity doesn’t do anything. People do things. They will do it under any religion, any banner, any idea, and even a haircut. Stop demonizing things. Things can’t act.
Don’t forget to grab a brain on your way to gun grabbing.
The devil wants to destroy the Christian way. This is clear from the beginning of the birth of Christ unto this day. In addition, every worldly culture wants to destroy Christianity because Christ message is freedom, justice, mercy, salvation, and obedience to one God. Worldly leaders think of themselves as god this demanding the obedience of the people thus going against the one true and living God, and desire to destroy everything godly.
Dear brother Emmett,
Thank-you for your treatise on “what then” my bride and I loved it and have it printed next to our computer. See you up there !
Who would want to destroy Christian culture? Certainly not the devil. The devil would never think about that.
It must be somebody else.
The Joos? The Communists? The Nazism? The Anglo-Sax? No! It must be the Moslems because they ban the freedom to usury in our Christian Banks!
Well, the most obvious people who would wish to destroy ‘Christian Culture’ will be those who the Christian hierarchy has suppressed, oppressed, been racist toward etc etc.
The Christian Church was very intolerant of women not ‘knowing their place’ for centuries. For millennia, only men could be church officers. The church opposed birth control which was the single biggest emancipation event for billions of women.
The Christian Church opposed homosexuality for millennia. Indeed, homosexuality between consenting males was only legalised in the UK in the late 1960s and equality of age defining consent was only normalised between heterosexual and homosexual men several decades later in the UK. There is very little historical reason for any homosexual to have any tolerance toward the Christian Church, based not on its prophets, rather on its organisational behaviour (which is far more important for real life, after all).
Lots of people would have reason to destroy the more totalitarian minorities of the Christian Church if they tried to impose their dogmas on the whole world. Think the fundamentalists opposing abortion. Think the ridiculous rubbish of claiming the only way to create a lifelong single marriage is to be an innocent virgin at the altar and that divorcees should be ostracised in the church.
The Christian church’ behaviour since Jesus’ death has had very little in common with what ‘Christians’ claim that christianity is about. It is a monotheistic, dogmatic, top-down organisation that expects its congregation to know their place and fill the collection plate with coins and notes every Sunday.
This is not saying that there are better organisations than the Christian Church. It’s simply saying that trying to create a global monotheism is impossible without creating implacable enemies. It’s exactly the same for Judaism, Islam and, in the 21st century, American Sport.
Your opinion is largely formed by decades of antiChristian propaganda emanating from the mainstream media and establishment academia. In actual fact, the Christian Church, while not perfect, was a great force for good throughout the centuries. Are you even aware that the Church provided social security for the poor and destitute throughout the Middle Ages, and that they acted as protectors of the peasantry against state and aristocratic tyranny?
Can Christianity be a force for good? Yes. Are many Christians good people? Absolutely.
However? The following applies to ALL RELGIONS… not just Christianity…
And yet there is lots of bachi bazi-type boy-banging among priests and ministers whenever . FACT. Recently uncovered was the widespread abuse of children in the Southern Baptist Congregation here in The US. Great force for good providing social security throughout the centuries – sort of.
Like Christopher Columbus wiping out the entire native population of Cuba. Or the well documented child abuse (and even murder) by Christian authorities. WELL DOCUMENTED. The evidence is so overwhelming that I do not have to provide links. A simple Google search will suffice.
“…that they acted as protectors of the peasantry against state and aristocratic tyranny?” To establish ecclesiastical authority above aristocracy… much like politicians lie to their constituents to gain votes, votes used to establish their political legitimacy.
Are Christian leaders all bad? Some were better than others. Many simply turned out to be murderous psychopaths.
By the way? The term “homosexual” is a new addition to language, occurring around 1836. Any Bible that uses “homosexual” is a mistranslation. The commandment is different when the appropriate words are used… adult men shall not have sex in the behind-hole with little boys. Is the more accurate translation.
Also, when you worship the male? Higher proportion of those populations are homosexual. That is why the call it GREEK S*X.
The Gay Community – the extremists among the Gay Community who espouse teaching children to question their sexual identity at an early age and “gender identity (in denial of biological reality”? Abominations. Even to many Gays. The Gay Community has been fractured by Liberal Democrats – who employed identity politics – and paycheck-seeking Liberal Democratic LGBTQ+ types… There is an actual war going on between two groups – The Extremists and the rest of The Gays.
No one notices that LGBTQ+ is meant to create many groups… who then when the extremists take over, use each group to wage ideological war on each other. As to who represents the “pure” ideology. That happened with The French Revolution. Where one group was assassinated by another group, for not being “pure” enough. Then the more extreme extremists assassinated the less extreme extremists for not being “pure” enough. Napoleon put a stop to that, reestablishing aristocracy…. the British Crown eliminated Napoleon to reestablish the Old Order. The Polish Republic was eliminated by The Russian Empire, The Austro-Hungarian Empire, French and British aristocracy. For simply having the gall to elect a King every few years.
Liberal Democrats (business Conservatives as opposed to religious Conservatives) has weaponized identity politics against the Gay Community. By hiring the extreme-of-the-extreme Gay Liberal Democrats to lead the identity politics movement in the Gay Community. Republicans simply hate gays and want to exterminate them. Despite many of those same Republicans… being closeted Gays.
Well documented by whom? Why? To what end? I advise you to use your skepticism on everything and not just your own confirmation bias. Anyone can write anything and it would be well documented decades later.
This is not just a destruction of “Christian culture”, but the destruction of God’s work on earth.
They want to destroy God’s Creation and the “faith in oneself” in its purest state, that is to say in small children before any indoctrination by any “culture”.
– The Christian Church opposed homosexuality for millennia. Indeed, homosexuality between consenting males was only legalised in the UK in the late 1960s
Exactly
To destroy family they have to destroy Christianity
– Disintegration of the family as an institution and encourage promiscuity and easy divorce
– Elimination of prayer or any phrase of religious expression in the schools
What kept families together before there was Christianity? It certainly was NOT CHRISTIANITY. Families got along the same. Christianity is NOT NECESSARY for family. For Christians to claim that Christianity is necessary for family? Is pure ignorance and hubris and vanity and self-aggrandizement.
Before there was any Biblically based religion? THERE WERE FAMILIES. Unless you really believe that the Earth is 6500 years old. And that Pi is 3 and that bats are birds (all found in The Bible).
@R. Robertson: I agree with you. These Christians always think like they have invented all the natural and artificial institutions existing in the world. They always bring the argument of charity and “good” acts, but as Nietzsche admirably explained, that is 100% psychological scam.
In reality, Christianity is nothing but a heresy of Judaism, which expanded in Europe just like a virus, and gained power through political bribery, like a cancer within the weak and old Roman Empire, using a very fine art of storytelling in order to make everyone believe absurdities about “life after death”, “resurrection of the body”, “miracles of Christ” and other ridiculous inventions (like the “soul”, literally invented by S. Augustine 4 centuries after Jesus was born and absolutely non-existent before that in the Christian world nor in Judaism).
When Paul/Saul went to Athens, he had to measure his beliefs with what remained of the ancient Greek culture and mindset (a very European one, unlike the middle-eastern Christian one). They told him basically “yeah, please tell us your silly stories another time”. And rightfully so.
But I think you’re incorrect about the Christian stance against homosexuality throughout the years. “There is very little historical reason for any homosexual to have any tolerance toward the Christian Church”. Are you sure? I don’t think so. The Church has not always been obsessed with sexual behaviors like it is today, or it was one century ago. For example, during the middle-age onwards to the 16th century, one could enjoy a fairly big degree of liberty. Have you ever read the “Luxurious Sonnets” by Pietro Aretino? We don’t have to wait the atheist Masquis DeSade in order to read about sexual perversions and sexual freedom.
“Christian Church against homosexuals through the millennia” is just a shallow ideological sentence.
As for the women, well… what you call “emancipation” is just “capitalist slavery” to me. Basically women have fought almost 200 years to rise up to the desirable position of “slaves of the money-God”, in order to fuck whenever and whoever they want, having to get a job thus neglecting other traditional tasks, aborting if necessary, breaking relationship at will and putting a cross in a useless voting paper.
Is that an improvement? Yeah, sure…
Take care;)
One of the actually more objective comments in this place. I would still advice you to question a lot of that, because there’s only one fact about our history and that is that we don’t really know anything. It wasn’t well documented and whatever documents we find were written by humans with their flaws, biases and personal agendas.
– Conversely, what is proclaimed and practiced as tolerance today,
The quote is from a different time, when free speech was promoted in West. Marcuse argue that free speech was still an illusion.
Today free speech is not longer promoted. We are living in a different time.
The Lord is the root and offspring of David. How is this possible ? In limited human understanding it is not ! As you reflect on it you begin to be lifted up from the finite into the realm of the infinite. Herein lies the roots of Christianities faith in God Almighty. If you fear it you will be drawn back into the pseudo-safety of the finite. But you know in your heart of hearts there is no true safety there. The more you cling steadfastly to the finite the more you will serve the destruction of truth in the name of tolerance. The more you do this the more you will feel paranoid and insecure within.
As you labor over the future address of your eternal soul (heaven or hell) you will receive help regardless of the direction you traverse. As your general direction journey’s towards the finite those “evil spirits(fallen angels)” will endeavor to convince you that you must continue in that direction regardless of the cost to you or others. And so you may wind up surrounded with the most secure physical surroundings and the unbearable burden of an unconscionably immoral conscience.
As your general direction journey’s towards the infinite you will receive “good spirits”(angels faithful to God) that will help and encourage you to continue to place less and less weight on the physical aspects of this life and more on the spiritual realities in this life.
This is called separating the wheat from the chaff. Try to think in terms of opposites ! You know, like who the “empire of lies” the west says is winning and losing in the Ukrainian proxy war as opposed to the truth. When the wheat and the chaff are separated they are both thrown into the air and the wheat which has more substance falls back down and the chaff with the least substance is blown away.
There is no longer any doubt about it. American’s are being punished right now. This is similar to when God punished the Jew’s by sending them into exile in Babylon under King Nebuchadnezzar. God commanded the Jew’s to rest their cropland one year out of every seven, and for 490 years they failed to do that. So God took all 70 years of rest owing to the land by sending the Jew’s into exile for 70 years in Babylon. America now struggles under government leaders who came into office with premeditated treason in their hearts. God has decreed this. As it says in Lamentations(3:37)”what man can say it and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it ?”. But do not think poorly of the Americans. The majority of them are forthright, honest, live and let live citizens of the world who appreciate God’s blessings to them and would wish those same blessings on all peoples. But many things God does are blessings in disguise. The bible says that there is going to be what is called the “6th Trumpet” war (see book of Revelation) that will kill one-third of all of the people on the earth. What is sizing up could very easily turn into that war.
As my beloved says with some astonishment that I share, ” a lot of the people on the earth today don’t believe that there is a life after this one” ! Human souls are eternal. The question is where each individual one will spend eternity-heaven or hell. Those who don’t believe in an afterlife believe that whatever they think they got away with in this life will never be brought up again. Like the guy who supposedly confronted one of our former presidents after he was no longer president over his valid birth certificate which was later de-bunked and proven to have been a clumsy forgery. This former president supposedly said, “well it worked, didn’t it ?”.
Yes, America waltzed away from WW2 with the arrogance of having won the war single-handedly. General Eisenhower who was made supreme commander of all allied forces in Europe had never even led so much as a platoon in combat in his military career. As one of our other generals confessed, Eisenhower was elevated to that position because he was the “most political” of the choices.
The Americans played “cat and mouse” with the Russians over who was going to take the most casualties in defeating the Germans. The Russians took the brunt of the onslaught. We should be grateful to them for that if for nothing else. But we children of God are very grateful now that the Russians and their leadership are standing stronger for Christian principles than any other leaders in the world including the west. Don’t think for a minute that Christian Americans don’t recognize that and applaud it, and wish Russia success in all of their endeavors, and wish God’s blessings on them and their people. Amen
Where can we find such an inteligent woman in the collective west?
She amazes me every year more
Such a great personality in an important time and place on earth
You can only admire her sharpness
Amen. Gifted with objective clarity. Kamala Harris is described är the end of Macbeth’s Act 5, Sc 5.
Hmm, I don’t know. One could argue, that Lady Macbeth at least had some spine. Kamala Harris is more from the knees.
Cheers, Rob
You can find many, may very intelligent men and women in the West, it’s just that they never express themselves in public like that because it would be an act of self-harm.
I have been an ardent admirer of Maria for years. (As much as her bosses).
And the UK has…..Liz Truss! (no surprise she’s named after a medical device). But Maria Zakharova , what a deep and perceptive, erudite woman, a real credit to her sex and to Russia. Absolutely on point. (And very attractive to go with it)
Maria doesnt have anything on our own treasure, kamala:
https://rumble.com/v19xyi2-kamal-tribute-to-roe-vs-wade.html
I am more and more impressed with this woman each time I see her in action. I agree with her that it feels like we are at a major inflection point in world history and a necessary one at that.
Kudos to the staff for what must have been a very difficult translation.
I have posted this to my friends. A.J. Conyers, now deceased, wrote an incisive book on the use of tolerance as a weapon. Essentially, weaponized tolerance is the fox hoodwinking the chickens t o allow him to roost in the hen house. Conyers shows that tolerance as a weapon among Western liberals goes back at least as far as the Enlightenment. The title of the book is The Long Truce: How Toleration Made the World Safe for Power and Profit. I highly recommend it.
We have no spokesperson of the caliber of Mrs. Zakharova in the West. We could not have such because all of our spokespersons are agents of the Cancel Culture.
– We have no spokesperson of the calibe
We have Tulsi “Zakharova” Gabbard.
I have followed Mrs. Gabbard since her interview with President Assad back in 2015 or 2016; I have agreed and continue to agree with her stance on foreign policy and with her criticism of the warmongers in her own party, the Democrats, and in the Republican Party; however, Mrs. Gabbard has, over her political career, waffled and wobbled on certain core domestic issues. I would be surprised to learn that Mrs. Gabbard has the metaphysical insight into the Cancel Culture as does Mrs. Zakharova. Nevertheless, I am glad that we do have the voice of Mrs. Gabbard in the domain of foreign policy. She does seem to have the courage to swim against the current, as it were.
Sounds right on target, remember the other dimension of this is how webparized tolerance is used to invade institutions like college campuses or companies like a virus.
Well said Maria Zakharova. “Cancel Culture is the culture of destruction…” (sabotage).
As the antithesis to one of Ten Commandments:
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor” (Exodus 20:16).
Off Topic. Mod-DA.
Actually, in the corridors of power in the West it is essential to bear false witness against neighbours, since it is the only way that they would not lose their careers in disgrace were the truth to be voiced sufficiently publicly.
It’s amazing how stressful it is having to go to work each day smiling at people you know are knifing your career.
The meaning of “sabotage” is in the context of warfare. “Sabotage” is some kind of warfare.
abstract
a: an act or process tending to hamper or hurt
b: deliberate subversion
Zakharova is hinting Cancel Culture is warfare, with a wide brush.
Of course Cancel Culture is warfare. How child care, primary school, … university can be used by department of defence to defeat f.instance a Stalin, is interesting. We all need to learn from the Jesuits.
kjell108
I was paraphrasing the speaker’s words @ the 8:00 minute mark using brackets. Should have continued with the quotations.
Sorry for causing you any confusion.
Sabotage is from the French Sabot – a wooden shoe, thrown into textile mills, the industry of the time.
Sabotage is economic warfare, against one’s own people, nuclear industry, pipelines, production, the middle class.
Luddites were saboteurs.
Maria Z. Needs to educate Ignorant CNN following AMERICANS! WE have been had by the community Press of the USa.
Why should Zakharova do that?
How is Zakharova displacing cnn as the authority telling americans what to think an improvement?
I dont know about you guys but I love hearing Russian women talk and especially Ms. Zakharova.
a little too emotional she was, I think; I don’t listen to the details too closely; she has lived in Russia and interprets what she reads or hears only. “Cancel culture” has nothing to do with it in my opinion. There is cancelling, yes, but it’s something else. She should not put what is done to Russia in the context of American domestic politics (cancel culture); that’s part of the emotionalism that is not really good. I think she has a woman power in a male-dominated society over there (my guess). She comes on strong and the male peers act like everything is all right. Wikipedia describes the origins of this term as follows:
“‘Call-out culture’ has been in use as part of the #MeToo movement. The #MeToo movement encouraged women (and men) to call out their abusers on a forum where the accusations would be heard, especially against very powerful individuals. Additionally, the Black Lives Matter Movement, which seeks to highlight inequalities, racism and discrimination in the black community, repeatedly called out black men being killed by police.”
Yeah I hear what you mean. I was being funny or not serious with my comment. I do however think the Russian language sounds really nice hearing some women speaking it. But ecen though there’s many intellegent and probably capable women I’m a firm believer woman should focus on the role, honor, and responsibilities God intended. For sure in the west there’s too many women in government and business. The muslim idea about women Christianity would do well for itself embracing those ways. The biggest is modesty and not letting tneir women out running buck wild causing all kinds of trouble. These western American women out screaming hysterically about some fandom right to murder babies need a good measure of restrainment. They need to be married, pregnent, keep house and pleasing their husband. We need a law if you’re not married and pregnent by say 19 then off to work camp thatll end alot of this fornication and screaming about the so called rights of their vagina.
If the solution were to be found in one sentence (seriously), it would be the “work camp.” We only differ on the details of how to use it and when.
And George Soros’ Open Society Institute (from mentor Sir Karl Poppers book) is all about open democracy.
And NED, National Endowment for Democracy, is all about democracy,
And Color Revolutions are full spectrum improvement of the oppressed.
And BLM demos were peaceful.
Probably all Wiki, neutral POV, which H.G. Wells proposed in 1937, called “World Brain: The Idea of a Permanent World Encyclopedia.”
That proposal included the elimination, cancelling, of all national languages, in favor of Basic English. Looks like Kiev is well on the way to Fabian H.G.Wells’ universal fascism.
Open Society have conquered 30% of US universities (the Liberals ones).
(Now I will write a joke)
Open Society is a wealthy trader who retired and created a fundation with his profits. He (nazi during WWII) then re-educated himself from trading and economy into politics – and became a promoter of democracy and anti-racism
Sir George managed the Queens Quantum Fund, which nearly went belly up with the LTCM crash. Rumors are that Buckingham was NOT amused.
But never fear, the FED bailed it out in a mad crisis weekend.
The GKO Russian default triggered the LTCM crash and was well identified by Glazyev in 1998.
As Jimi Hendrix said now you don’t believe everything you see and hear, do you. E Michael Jones convincingly argued that Me Too was founded on the shame that inevitably follows after behaving like a whore. Casting Couch anyone? Also what was the name of George’s Second Grade teacher? The one who according to CNN held on to his essay for 38 years. Ah yh, Waynel Sexton.
BLM is in the core of Cancel Culture, what is (hybrid) warfare.
BLM are warriors of course.
Russia has observed how hybrid warfare is being employed by West, also against Russia.
Puzzy Riots is hybrid warfare (4th gen war)
What few know is Pride and LGBT are also hybrid warfare. Inside information reveals what purpose is = extermination of humanity.
Pride and LGBT is still legal most places, but it should have been defined as a crime.
Hybrid warfare
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp-KeVBNz0A
BLM are wind up toys, useful idiots. If they were targeting the correct people it would be the ones funding them. Remember
the dangerous nature of cancel culture and BLM at Wokeness, is that it has a viral self propagating brainwash like a cult. It spreads like a cancer. they use peoples artificially induced guilt, to force the way into institutions and companies and colleges, etc. and take over. It’s literally like a parasitic infection.
So in effect they are “victims” but not in the way they themselves see it. They are victims as and being artificially induced to believe the false identity they are being fed, and are used like a hand grenade, a lynch mob to scare the rest of society into conformity with the hidden agenda. And that hidden agenda does not include them, they are just being used as a sledgehammer, as shock troops
Warriors they are not. They are wind up toy soldiers deployed by others without realizing the full scope of the game.
This i completely gospel for me. Who want’s to destroy christian culture? We all know the answer. Here it comes : the satanic world of the west. I can’t imagine more rotten place than the west of satan. When I first saw Maria for a few years ago I thought that here is woman with caliber. You could see the intelligence light up the whole room and that goes for many,many,many women from Russia. Then look at the leadership of Sweden and all the female people that runs the west in varied position of the politics and ministerial places. What do you see? Women that can’t even recognize the world they are living in. They fight Russia and they can’t even a little bit of the geography they will conquer. Such a stupidity. You can see far away,from a distance, that here comes full of nonsense. It’s impossible to make any such comparison.
This worship of her reminds me of “Evita” (Eva Peron). She has some of that skill, in fact. She’s playing her audience…she acts like a diva. Putin never even mentions her…she’s not but she acts as if she were his wife, now that I think of it. Seriously. She talks like an outspoken First Lady. I solved my riddle: She wasn’t a spokeswoman; she wasn’t Lavrov; she wasn’t a “Zar” as sometimes someone is nominated to be. I don’t know what she is, still, but it’s as if she were the First Lady – Eva – and everybody bows down to her.
‘
– Who want’s to destroy christian culture? We all know the answer.
According to canadafreepress.com link it is CFR
– Elimination of prayer or any phrase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principles of “separation of church and state”
Who? Check out “Europa, The Last Battle”. The very first part explains it from Moses Hess onward. It’s the Communist Manifesto stuff alive and well today with Claus Schwab and the World Economic Forum (WEF)
As an example of what the destruction of cancel culture entails, you can imagine the western media, if they even pick up on it, describe her thoughtful and perceptive analysis as “a rant”. (They have done the same to Putin).
Cancel Culture is more on level “nuking” than slander of Putin.
boys = girls
is ultimate Cancel Culture.
What is cancelled is “gender”.
Then they also have to cancel “male” and “female”, and “he” and “she”
When your child answer: -I don’t know … when asked: -Are you a boy?
then Cancel Culture is in action
“boys = girls” …is not a good example of “cancel culture.”
Rather, is an example of indoctrination of cultural expectations for sexual identity in future family role playing as a society.
Maria Zakharova is clearly on the mark with her definition. Cancel culture is slander whether it be against a person, or a representative of the state.
Doesn’t it look like a rant against “cancel culture”? I think so.
Maria Zakharova has a boss who cannot stand Cancel culture. Expect Maria Zakharova to please her boss whenever possible, repeating his talking points
“Putin says West trying to cancel Russian culture like it “cancelled” J.K. Rowling”
“Cancel culture” has many names. “Psy-op” can also be used … but people don’t understand technical terms.
It is great to see an intelligent, moral and philosophical politician, in addition to being an attractive woman who is not ashamed to dress elegantly and show her beauty and femininity. She puts our Western leaders utterly to shame, and I am already ashamed of them and of the whole evil colonial process of the last 500 years which led to this moment. I also hate that people are being killed, but I understand Russia’s reasoning and think they are rooting out evil. It’s a pity that people have to be hurt and killed in the process. However Russia also has it’s share of corruption and I think we should be wary of idealising Russia. I would like to spend some time in that country and see how it really is for people, because many young Russians also feel stifled and leave there. I wonder if any of the commentators here have some direct experience of living in Russia which they could share?
“in addition to being an attractive woman who is not ashamed to dress elegantly and show her beauty and femininity.”
Great that she is not ashamed of that, but “addition” or “foundation”? Part of the foundation, let’s face it. She’s doing something wrong, though, because she should not be, in her position, the center of personal attention, right? Knowing the power of elegance and attractiveness, she talks for a long time, but I see her gaining weight (I could be wrong).
The west is truly doing all it can to “cancel” Russia. Now, they are planning to ban the importation of Russian gold. Expect the price of gold to skyrocket just as oil and gas has. It will be the west that actually gets canceled!
– Expect the price of gold to skyrocket
Exactly. I predicted BTC would go to $100, and no I predict gold will go to $10,000 and Apple will go to $1.
My slogan:
– Exactly as I predicted!
Consistently great.
Could she be Putin’s successor?
More likely to be Lavrov’s successor, in as much as she really only has experience in Foreign policy arenas. But her name is certainly worthy of being thrown into the ring?
No! She is a woman, a very intelligent woman. But she cant and should not take a man’s place. Men need to take on their duty.
She is incredible. Super intelligent woman in the very best way. “Cancel culture is the contradiction to Creation equal evil equal satanic”. Yes.
Always a pleasure to watch the intelligent and elegant Ms. Zakharova.
Always a pleasure to hear or write from Maria Zakharova.
Sharp observations, it’s about desctruction. And why?
Let me add a point, just as another view in the same direction.
This is an overview of the plans of the CFR (Council of Foreign Relations), as per Congressional Record of January 10, 1963, pages A34, A35: https://canadafreepress.com/article/cfr-shadow-government-is-destroying-america
Isn’t this exactly what is happening today? It ain’t a spontaneous, creative coincidence, we are looking at planned projects.
And then realize that this is from 1963. I grant those blokes that they have quite some patience. I even more wonder whether there is some Plan B, when things screw up.
O dear.
Cheers, Rob

– Elimination of prayer or any phrase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principles of “separation of church and state”
– Acquisition of all key positions in radio, TV, and motions pictures
“Disintegration of the family” = cancel culture
“Elimination of prayer ” = cancel culture
Several points above are fullfilled.
At present time we can add
– Promote CO2 as bad for plants
– Create school massacres. Promote guns are the cause for the massacres
– Promote vaccines should be mandatory and that unvaccinated are causing pandemics
This is not a philosophy. The destruction of other cultures has been the “white man’s burden” since the fifteenth century when he discovered other worlds with military inferiority and has cost mankind millions upon millions of lives in just six centuries.
Let us remember that Pope Borgia or Alexander VI in 1492 gave the go-ahead for Christians to kill, enslave and rob non-whites, the great crime of Roman Christianity.
By the way, two days ago the 1864 order to kill and rob the indigenous population was repealed in Colorado. And this has been the source of wealth for Western whites and not of work as some believe.
– Pope Borgia or Alexander VI
The Borgia family stands out in history as being infamously steeped in sin and immorality, ,,,

Thanks again and congratulations Maria Zakharova for an excellent presentation.
However, as your English is excellent, well articulated with hardly any Russian accent, I would strongly recommend that you present the same AGAIN in English.
As duly noted by some grumpy comments here – an intelligent, attractive Russian woman speaking Russian is just toooo… enticing – even seducing!!!
I wholly agree – living among majority Russian speakers (very reserved and often avoiding eye contact) and listening to the delightful Russian radio stations in a NATO vassal state….
Also remember that many of higher echelon Russian diplomats speak better English than most anglo-zionist presstitute journalists and experts !!!(perverts – more appropriate..)
Zakharova in English will be a shadow of Zakharova in Russian. Zakharova’s great assets is not her philosophy, but her Russian
Agree. Any presentation, song, melody, poem, is ALWAYS best in the original language so far as the original language is not manipulated with newspeak and woke which is the condition in many Western countries; Sweden, US, Norway, New Zealand, m.m.
Well, maybe even then.
This lady is astonishingly powerful. In my experience, she terrifies many of those who go by the name Western. Her logic is almost other worldly effective for me as an English speaker. Goddess?
Some observations (Rough and pertinent rendition from daodejing, beginning of Section1)
Creation varies
Name distinguishes
Creation is of no name
Other than for want of a name
(First line may be rendered as “dao allows all”)
Now we need question the word name above.
Is the name used with desire?
Is the name used as a benign convenience?
The latter makes of the name nothing but chugou (ancient zhong word meaning literally straw dog; a dirt cheap sign initially made to represent or refer to an idea or event of topical interest. This straw effigy is abandoned or tossed aside immediately the meeting or ceremony of remembrance is concluded)
Proselytizing Christian (Jesus never used the latter word, and without wishing to offend anyone it must be said her never used any word resembling the import of the word Christ) cultures are radical and therefore most dangerous sources of Cancel Culture. Indeed, identity as Christian (or similar related words such as Westerner or, most shockingly/stupidly/amusingly, currently American) is amazingly expressive of a cancel culture for it is so often set against all others. This makes proselytizing in any name of such as God into the ultimate insult to any other, for it implies any other is in error (effectively cancelled), that is unless they listen to (and follow) the one proselytizing, so often logically identifying the latter with God The Father Himself.
Yet the understanding of an origin, or creator (God, if any wish, even though Jesus never used the word or anything similar no matter how any Christian or other translates his words) as common father is necessarily nothing less than expressive of humanity as one family.
I like to dwell in a very simple truth. Jesus never claimed to be anything more than the brother of all, so welcoming us all into one family. He never claimed any special status or godhead. He just claimed to be our sibling just as we are of all others. His definition of who he is referring to in the New Testament as My Father is the father of all (as zhong traditionally expresses it, “the father of all ten thousand”). He was never denying he had brothers and sisters or that he was in any way the only one. To give some or other a name as in Christian, and some such Father a name as in Jesus, God, YHWH or Allah effectively makes a mockery of the very idea of a common (however chugou) deity as origin of all and subverts Jesus’ life and word.
Getting away from such a massive conceit is easy: my readers here as well as all who do not read here are of common family. Jesus is my brother as he is theirs, intrinsically and undeniably no more or less than one of us. If any of us wish use the word God or any other such name, well God (or any other) is father of all. If not, we trash the word father in this context.
The word God used so safely remains nothing but a straw dog, a beneficial, easy, effective way of communicating a ginormous concept.
Interestingly, the zhong (chinese) word dao (道) of laozi or daodejing fame is specifically of no name. Its use can be excused as for want of a name. Often inadequately but usefully translated as way, it may equally invalidly be translated as all, in that it is never any one way or any one of all.
“This lady is astonishingly powerful. In my experience, she terrifies many of those who go by the name Western. Her logic is almost other worldly effective for me as an English speaker. Goddess?”
No, smitten.
“…never used any word resembling the import of the word Christ”
It’s in the N.T. “Who do you say that I am?”, “Thou sayest it.” It’s all over. He was the Messiah to his followers.
“I like to dwell in a very simple truth. Jesus never claimed to be anything more than the brother of all, so welcoming us all into one family. He never claimed any special status or godhead. He just claimed to be our sibling just as we are of all others.”
The Jesus of the NT is very Jewish. There’s the time when he liked that Gentiles were compared to “dogs” who should be able to eat the crumbs (“great is your faith”). At the cafe we could get into it more someday. Only after the resurrection in the N.T. does he say to his followers that they must preach to the Gentiles. Some or even many theologians argue that this part was added to the texts as one of the last things written. They are right. In Acts, Peter does not know this order! He receives a vision from heaven and then he knows he can preach and even approach the Gentiles. But in the Gospels, he is supposed to have been present when the resurrected Jesus told the disciples to go preach to the world. This message to go out to the Gentiles could only surprise or shock them because he never went to them here (other than when helping some Gentiles or non-Jews who came to him or that accepted him as the Messiah). They were Jews forbidden from doing that according to Peter himself. This shows the radicalism that existed at the time at least when the book of Acts was written, because the Jews were at this time very much integrated with the communities of the other places (nations) in which they lived. In Rome, they kept their own religion and customs but they (Jews) allowed others to visit their synagogues. They spoke to Gentiles in their nations! The Roman writer/poet Ovid mentions in one of his “love” books that a young lad should go there – to a synagogue – because it was a good place to find (Gentile) ladies. I don’t remember why, but Ovid wrote that around the time Jesus would have been a child (+/- ten years).
“He never claimed any special status or godhead. He just claimed to be our sibling just as we are of all others.”
He claims a special status in the N.T. He made clear that he came from heaven directly. Among us, he was like a “total revolutionary.” He was very romantic/idealistic/affectionate with his followers. It’s easy to know the Jesus of the texts. He told them that they would do the same miracles he did and even bigger ones and he meant it. True, he did not see himself as “God.” He was Jewish; that’s Gentile stuff. People do what you are doing and invent all kinds of religious theories. According to the N.T., he was deity because of the Father and without the Father he “could do nothing”, or was nothing. He indicated that he was their brother and their friend, and his Father was their Father too, but he – not they – was sent by Him; at all times it was clear that he was their divine teacher. He was really saying in other words, “you are created, I am created, we are bothers.”
Yours is a half-truth. I think the Church says he was speaking only as a human when he said we are brothers, and that he is our brother today only because of his human experience. I disagree because I think that he spoke as his eternal self always, as the one who came from heaven. I think you are closer to the truth on “brother” than the Church is.
Thanks for the reply. I enjoyed reading it. Yes I made some leaps and we could argue the result for ever. But then the Bible and New Testament are writings of of agenda/Belief/Faith and prove nothing but what the reader seeks/intends. So I read them just as you do but with different expectations. Perhaps the difference of note between us is my expectations or hopes press me to seek probabilities and possibilities in adventure while yours seek confirmation and something approaching certainty. . Please note the perhaps and thankyou again.
you’re welcome, thank you.
” Jesus never claimed to be anything more than the brother of all, so welcoming us all into one family. He never claimed any special status or godhead. He just claimed to be our sibling just as we are of all others.
Have you never read the gospel of St.John?
As all of us who live in the West knows, there are many truths. Therefore this is the truth for James, and you have your truth and I have my truth about it, and then we are equality!
Patriarch Kirill slipped on a church floor yesterday :
https://readovka.news/news/102126
But what is amazing is his grinning explanation :
https://readovka.news/news/102133
“The fact that I fell means nothing. It’s just that the floor in the temple is so new, shiny, you can look into it. And when water falls on it, even if it is holy, the laws of physics still work,”
Something that Kant, the anti-philosopher, the Omnipulverizer as Heinrich Heine wrote in Religion and Philosophy in Germany, absolutely forbade with his Categorical Imperative – The Arts, Science and Religion to remain eternally separate. Patriarch Kirill in 1 minute said it perfectly!
For an insight on destruction, see Heine’s work here (finest German poet, but no-one knows this work) :
https://archive.org/details/religionandphilo00heinuoft
On Kant and the Romantic Movement :
“What a strange contrast did this man’s outward life
present to his destructive, world-annihilating thoughts!
In sooth, had the citizens of Königsberg had the least
presentiment of the full significance of his ideas, they
would have felt a far more awful dread at the presence of
this man than at the sight of an executioner, who can but
kill the body. But the worthy folk saw in him nothing
more than a Professor of Philosophy, and as he passed
at his customary hour, they greeted him in a friendly
manner and set their watches by him. ”
American poet, Edgar Poe, wrote that Kant can’t do it, and this is why Percy Shelley In Defence of Poetry wrote that poets are the true legislators.
By some unknown coincidence, Königsberg, Kaliningrad, is right now a major crisis point.
“For an insight on destruction, see Heine’s work here (finest German poet, but no-one knows this work)”
I have a book from him. I know his importance in his time. He was a Jewish apologist. He had some personal problems (suicidal?). He did not understand Kant. He was not smart for that. He was probably bothered by yet one more Gentile who was greater than any Jewish thinker. You can actually see that in the quote. I have looked for the allegedly great ones like Heine and purchased what they wrote as much as I could. Please don’t mention Maimonides because I have all he wrote and can quote him. Unheralded but great Jewish thinkers were the liberal-libertarian economists Mises and Rothbard (but wrong too, right?).
I criticize Kant for not having a glossary of terms for his books, especially since he came up with new terms. On religion, I don’t like that he was ready to accept what he thought was false but sought to use anyway as supportive of his philosophy, and also to have his philosophy or reason be the standard bearer for what the gospels meant to say. In other words, he made clear that it didn’t matter what the Gospels said if they contradicted philosophy or reason, that in that case they just had to be reinterpreted so as to make them coincide, and at the same time he said the gospels presented the perfect morality (he was puritanical).
Kant was a great philosopher, bonbon. The well-known Bishop Williamson also condemns Kant and blames him for the evil of modernity, for being “destructive.” He also doesn’t know Kant. It’s a false accusation. Try quoting a bad “categorical imperative” from Kant sometime, one that shows “destructive, world-annihilating thoughts!” (Heine). “Easier said than found” (new proverb).
Kant cancelled – QED.
That’s where the problem comes from – now apparent to Russia, endemic in the USA/UK/EU.
Kant was an anti-philosopher – replacing Leibniz’s Monad with the ” thing in itself” .
When one sees EU political parties doing an annual pilgrimage to Kant’s Königsberg where that statue was the only thing left standing (and a school) after WWII, one knows why these parties are history.
LOL! The famous pranksters Vaughan and Lexus are at SPIEF!
The spoke as Zelensky to Rowling, of Harry Potter fame! Rowling was cancelled recently, but :
“Is it possible to somehow remove the scar in the form of the letter Z in connection with the geopolitical situation. Put a Ukrainian trident and make a hairstyle is a Ukrainian chub,” the pranksters told her on behalf of Zelensky.”
And
“”And we also want to invite you to read Harry Potter to the soldiers of the Azov battalion * (criminal cases have been initiated against members of the organization in Russia). They have a library club. They like to read a lot, especially German literature. Just don’t read the passages about them being nationalists and don’t like other people,” Vovan & Lexus said.”
And
At the same time, during the prank, Rowling agreed to buy missiles and send them with a deadly curse against the republics of Donbass, using Rowling’s Lumos children fund’s money!

Exposed the cancel and anti-cancel as being 2 sides of the same coin!
Heinrich Heine in Religion and Philosophy in Germany, wrote P120 ,
But is it not conceivable that Kant brought about this
resurrection, not merely for the sake of old Lampe, but
through fear of the police ? Or did he act from sincere
conviction ? Was not his object in destroying all evidence
for the existence of God to show us how embarrassing it
might be to know nothing about God ? In doing so, he
acted almost as sagely as a Westphalian friend of mine,
-who smashed all the lanterns in the Grohnder Street in
Gottingen, and then proceeded to deliver to us in the dark
a long lecture on the practical necessity of lanterns, which
he had theoretically broken in order to show how, without
them, we could see nothing.
This sure looks like the destruction of German energy, industry, farming today – it is Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Arendt’s idol.
Will we be then given long lectures in the cold dark autumn evenings on the practical necessity of Russian gas?
Kant destroyed deism, God, to let Him back in by little back door for Lampe, his practical servant.
This is why it takes a Poet to identify what is going on.
“Kant destroyed deism, God, to let Him back in by little back door for Lampe, his practical servant.
This is why it takes a Poet to identify what is going on.” “Kant, the anti-philosopher”.
Don’t let Heine influence you. Kant was a Deist in every way. He wrote that Deists “admit that we may know the existence of an original Being by mere reason.”
Consider these spiritual words of Kant written in his Critique of Practical Reason book:
“Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and the moral law within.”
Kant, as Heine makes bitingly clear – allowed “Supreme Lord of the World” to reenter neatly via a little back door (in Practical Reason), after He had “been swimming in His blood” (in Critique of Pure Reason).
Kind of catches the wretched Omnipulverizer”s world-destroying work that the Uni’s set their watches to, utterly oblivious, typical today. They should have a far more awful dread at the presence of this man than at the sight of an executioner, who can but kill the body.
Zakharova gets close to this “destructiveness”, Heine nailed it.
Kant is a liar – he went after Leibniz, the top Deist, using the straw dog of Critical Reason which does not exist.
Creative Reason was Kant’s target, the Capax Dei, that Zakharova refers to as creativity.
Which is why Edgar Poe wrote Kant can’t do it – he has cancelled creativity.
Like Heine in the quote, you are just making allegations. That’s bad. Please present quotes from Immanuel Kant that prove or show what you (both of you) said.
Read the Fragment linked above. It really is amazing no-one knows Heine’s Religion and Philosophy in Germany.
Not banned, even DDR people, experts on Marx, Heine’s poetry, never heard of this. Was it banned in the Comecon?
Cancelling, straw dogs, is not new with Twitter/FB/Instagram – they just automated it.
bonbon, you should be able to quote something from the accused himself (“liar” Kant) if there is something so terrible.
Heine was a Jewish German and lived in the 19th century. Jews were not popular then but he became famous as a . That has something to do with it. Others don’t think he’s great. I have a book titled, “The Story of the Jews” by James K Hosmer (published in 1886). Hosmer admired the Jewish people, and he has a chapter on Heine. One of the subtitles is “He utters the Hebrew soul.” Is he well-known among Jews today? Hosmer says he became very famous in Germany. The Germans were, I can’t even finish even one poem. I don’t like him. I can read more substantial Jews. He was a “poet” (not a philosopher) who was “outlawed” by the German rulers because he scorned them, living in Paris after that. Kant was/is one of the great German thinkers, a source of pride for them. If among other things he was insulting Kant back then, that may have been a little too much in the 19th century. Many must have disliked him like I do. Like I say, I cannot even finish one poem in front me. Thanks, you made me reach for this book.
became famous as a poet.
I love this lady.
The US has a Black Bimbo who looks like she is ten years old as a press secretary…
As Zakharova mentions the Greeks – in pre-christian times, Egypt desperately needed a force to counter Persia, singled out the Ionians, and sent them a gift, that only Egyptians would do – a god, Neith.
Known as Athena in Greek.
Anyone who wanted to take Athena on in battle, had a real bad day.
Greek Alexander then destroyed 2 times Persia by going straight for it’s religious center, Persopolis.
Later Christian Paul referred to the Roman Empire, as the guess-what of Babylon – the capital of the Persian Empire.
Venice resurrected Babylon – see the winged lions and the pylon at Piazza San Marco.
The Venetian Party of the City of London invented Central Banking, today’s utterly bankrupt assault on Russia.
The irony of her imagining that Christianity embraces objective reality. I like Zakharova, but this nonsensical philosophical effusion is so full of bologna, dont know where to start.
Most importantly Christianity does NOT embrace objective reality. It is a bronze age sky god mythology that EXPLICITLY teaches that was is most real–cannot be seen.
The history of the spread of an obscure levantine cult to become (arguably) the “foundation of western civilization” is PRECISELY one of cancellation of indigenous worldviews, imperialism, royal diktat and inquisition (in the West AND the East.)
Not much “creative” in 2000 years of conquest.
Back to class 101 – it is Iron Age.
You know, that stuff Mariupol’s factory used to produce in vast quantities?
Israelite conversion in Canaan was ca. 1300 bce, squarely in the bronze age. Now feel free to explain why Christ was not a jew or the prophesized messiah.
Class dismissed.
Moses, as is ironically said in Israel, led them from Egypt to the only place with no oil!
Lately they have found oil/gas, so maybe Moses had the long view in mind.
Moses – Ekhanaten, is the first Mono Theist which he learnt from his Hittite wife Nefertiti.
Not bad for 1100BCE.
Christianity, the new Testament are Iron age.
As regards reality – can you kick a Gravity, smell a Gravity? You can know Universal Gravity – Kepler being the unique discoverer. De Docta Ignoranta is the founding science document, and Kepler the first physicist.
And as Leibniz proved – vis-viva, living force is key to motion, something outside all Aristotle’s senses.
You clearly understand nothing of modern Russia’s soul, and its heart, what makes it tick, outside perhaps what you found in a few strip bars or nightclubs in Moscow or St. Petersburg? No offense, but I invite you to spew that nonsense among some frontline Russian Army combat personnel. Hope you have a good dental plan!
The perspective in which she places Christianity is within Russian culture, history and ethnicity. It is an expression of Russian People’s existence, resistance and self-determination. These dumb Westerners cross/intersect their Christianities with Russian Orthodox Church.
And she doesn’t care if you’re a liberal/progressist/illuminist/atheist or a zealot religious theistic conservative Christian because, collectively, if you’re western, all of you are canceling Russia according to your provincial and supposedly superior (moral) interpretation of the world.
Putin has already given the message: goodbye West!
Goodbye Western Elites – there fixed it for ya.
Putin said an elite change is immanent.
Whether with pitchforks is another question….
The Jews created Political Correctness from their Frankfort School in German. They made it verboten to criticize any of their murderous, deviant behavior.
As Kant the canceller appeared in the thread, Westerners must inform themselves that after Kant’s Omnipulverizer attack on Leibniz, Creative Reason (See the Monadology) is extremely relevant:
Guess where Benjamin Franklin got “Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness” – straight from Leibniz’s Securitas Publicas.
Leibniz is the founder of modern economy, progress, creative reason with industry.
Putin, Zakharova, Glazyev at SPIEF fully acknowledge creative progress, problem solving no matter what comes Russia’s way. That is really can-do, not Kant can’t do!!!
The USA is going back to the Moon – SLS tests proceed, carefully. Russia sent Gagarin first to orbit. Looks like, to me Russia and the USA both dump Kant!
I think Newton demonstrated that Leibniz plagiarized him on Calculus. Both are recognized as the inventors of Calculus only because of prejudice against Newton. If you think about it, it’s improbable that both would discover it at the same time! Maybe one day the clear and strong demonstration of Newton will be accepted. Leibniz kept writing to Newton. Newton only responded. Leibniz kept asking him about Calculus. I see in your comment that Kant didn’t like him either for other reasons. Leibniz lied about being the inventor of Calculus.
You seem to be distorting Kant regarding Leibniz: “Kant describes Leibniz as one of the greatest and most successful reformers of the modern era (9:32), along with John Locke, and as a genius, along with Isaac Newton (7.226). Yet he also refers repeatedly to the errors of the Leibnizians, whom he considers “dogmatic” philosophers” (Stanford Encyclopedia). You must have at least one quote to show “Kant’s Omnipulverizer attack on Leibniz.”
What a woman. She reminds me of an Aunt of mine; an exceptional individual.
It is so refreshing to hear a voice of reason in our insane upside down world.
Isn’t she lovely? I mean, maybe even Psaki would be lovely to see, but when she speaks, boy, oh boy, isn’t she antipathic?
She nailed it.
Very interresting talk and perspectives. Food for thought. I have to agree, Cancel culture is actually worse then I thought … considered it more as a neutralizing fenomena … but it is actually destructive. Terrible.
Re Maria Zakharova
This brilliant, gifted woman of incomparable eloquence and simply astonishing standalone shining intellect
continually beautifully proves how far beyond Russia is to any and all lesser creatures and nations in this yet inhuman, primitive world. The few literate ones of us desperately hoping and dreaming somehow for a better, enlightened civilization for our children are simply outrageously blessed with this magnificent Russian dancing candle in the night.
Dressing up old practices in new terms is nothing new. Much like Wall Street recycles old frauds by naming it something new. The “new” frauds are simply the old frauds with lots of “New Speak”.
Maria Zakharova does good work. However, if the translation is correct, a few notes…
Cancellation culture is simply a modern term for “crushing dissent”. It is a tool of the elites to crush and disenfranchise their enemies. And for that, they must train their warriors.
Cancel culture is an extension of identity politics. A way for those in power to silence their enemies without having to kill them. Identity politics in the U.S. is used by Liberal Democrats (business conservatives as opposed to religious conservatives of The Republican Wing of the Uniparty) to further divide their enemies on The Left. Much like the Uniparty of Democrats and Republicans use to divide the public along social divisions by using abortion, culture war, etc.
Cancel Culture is a cancer on The West, a method of control and divisiveness of our own populations. Where the wicked and greedy seek to silence their opponents. The increasingly desperate measures that our Western Oligarchs have to utilize in order to maintain their position on top of society.
Now, back to Maria Zakharova and her words.
Western Civilization is built on Christianity… which represents “creation and creativity”. Despite the widespread, factual evidence that Christianity is one of control and destruction of dissent. From burning libraries to spreading faith-based science to massacres of non-believers. “Tolerance” – what there is – of other religions by Christians is a very fragile development in Modern Christianity. That “tolerance” is more of a lid on a rapidly, violently boiling kettle of water. The pressure builds up.
A word of note, the above is applicable to just about all religions whether those religions are extinct or not. Religions wage war on each other with occasional truce.
I love Maria Zakharova’s astute observation… “cancel culture is the culture of destruction”… The Left in The U.S. is frequently a victim of Cancel Culture as Liberal Democrats seek to protect their Conservative Business practices related to Globalism & Wall Street & The MIC… as cancel couture warriors are the usual Liberal Democrats who do it for the money; whose livelihoods and paychecks and fat bank accounts rely on the perpetuation of cancel culture.
Cancel culture is an evolution of identity politics. A historical perspective of modern identity politics in The US begins with The Moral Majority – a political Christian Identity movement whose ultimate goals are to cancel non-Christians in The United States. The Moral Majority is responsible for electing Ronald Reagan. The Moral Majority’s founding members included Laszlo Pasztor, a Hungarian Nazi (during WWII) whose last visit to the White House was in 2005 where he was honored.
Maria Zakharova also mentions “Cancel culture is the culture of destruction…”. Earlier she described Christianity being the foundation of Western Civilization… being “of creation and creativity”. Only if it serves Christianity – in the arts & humanities, and in science where conformity to Christian beliefs is to override all other works and scientific theories. All art & humanities is to be one of depicting God. All science is to reinforce the teachings of The Bible. Pi is 3… bats are birds…
Maria Zakharova engages in her own propaganda… very subtle yet noticeable.The subtext.. and it is not very subtle is… HOLY WAR. Only Christian – specifically Russian Orthodox – “creation & creativity” can be used to defeat Cancel Culture. Christianity – whether Catholic or other – has a very long history of cancelling people – often violently. The Catholic Church being the most prominent practitioner. The Orthodox Church is not innocent either.
Speaking of cancellation culture? One famous person canceled by Christianity?
Galileo Galilei. CANCELED. Native Americans… too many were canceled. Ethnic minorities the world over have had Christian cancel culture visited upon them. With Catholicism being the most successful in cancelling untold millions of people from life.
Western Civilization is in DESPITE of Christianity. Where people turned to science instead of mysticism to explain the natural world. Where the Christians – as they have throughout history – sought to limit learning and the spread of knowledge. Where all arts where to be of jBiblical origin. Where “humanities” was to be solely from God. Where Science was to serve Christianity. Despite all of this, enough people rebelled with the advancing knowledge against religion & mysticism. So much so that Christianity has had to accept that knowledge and attempt to synthesize it with their religious beliefs. Big Bang Theory being one such monumental effort.
Anything not Christian is Satanic. That’s how Christians cancel others. 2000 years of it.
Cancel culture is simply another old evil. There is nothing Satanic about it. It is simple desire, greed, and power. The Bible is not needed to explain this. Satan is not needed to explain human behavior. There is nothing mystical about such that requires mysticism.
Evil is engendered through biology and culture. Psychopaths are usually born that way. Nazis were a culture run by psychopaths. Businesses the world over – as well as governments – frequently are found to have psycopaths as executives or owners or politicians.
I can appreciate Christians… when they are not trying to oppress people. As for The Bible? The Christians left a text out… thought they rewrote it for their own religion… without giving appropriate credit to the original pagan writers…
The Sumerian Flood Story that vastly predates the rewritten, Christianized account found in the Bible. Have a shout out to God’s Wife.. still mentioned in the Bible… Asherah. Her name is still there in The Bible. She was mostly written out of Judaic practices by powerful men who further shaped modern Christianity.
Extremely good.
I would also mention this is about love versus hate. Creativity is based on love and aims to lift not only the self, but for others as well, charity. Hate is all about trespassing upon others to gain advantage.
All of the political correctness including cancel culture, is A devious and dishonest psychological strategy aimed on gaining advantage via guilt-tripping of others, to mentally beat them into submission.
Also, hate begets more hate, it has a viral-like contagious quality. All of these psychological attacks have this characteristic of an invasive species, A virus that spreads through weak minds, using hate as the driver.
Maria,
As a longtime supporter of the SU and the Chinese workers state, as well as Vetnam, Cuba.
I admire your honest reporting.
Thank you,

I suggest a metaphor for so-called “Cancel Culture”: It is a decision making process which employs a coin toss as the means of making all decisions. However, in the case of the Cancel Culture , the coin is flipped and the result (heads or tails) is called by just one side. Indeed the coin is only ever seen by that same one side (the side which makes the toss and calls the result). Furthermore, the announced result of the toss cannot be challenged. Indeed, to even suggest that a legitimate challenge to the announced result is possible is in itself a crime that must be punished by death. Cancel Culture is thus the ultimate manifestation of one-sidedness, taken to such absurd extremes that only one side can even exist. It would be like imagining one hand clapping. Like a coin toss of a coin that has only a one side (not two) despite the physical impossibility of such an arrangement. An opinion for which there is no counter. A singularity of such utter lack of dimension that it is not even a one dimensional point . . . but is instead . . . . literally . . . . . nothing at all. A form of death. The culture of death. In other words, a Death Cult.
Cancel Culture is suicide for the West as the Eurasia East powers along with its new trade and monetary arrangements.
Is there a written transcript (in English) of this? I’ve listened to the video, and what Ms. Zakharova has to say makes sense, and, as I see it, is a perceptive understanding. I’d like to find a written translation that I could read and study at length.
Pгetty! Thiѕ was a really wonderful article. Many thanks for providing this
inf᧐rmation.
