In the final phase of political feistyness, not tyrants, but jests; in the final phase of cultural feisty, altars are set not for decadents, but for "celebrites"; in the final phase of intellectual feisty of solutions are sought not for sophists, but for algorithms; and in the final phase of spiritual feisty inspiration is expected not from heretics, but from "modernizers".

The most perfect pupil of propaganda is individual who, after years of complaining about its existence, starts to cheer not erstwhile her tools are eliminated, but erstwhile they pass into the hands of propagandaists who had complained with him in the same choir.

Classical orwellism proclaimed that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength. In another words, he reversed the meaning of words, but inactive made these meanings understandable. However, neo-orwellism – i.e. already full matured and much more destructive form of the mentioned practice – says that confusion is explanation, voidness is content, and deception is clarification.
Hence, while resisting classical orwellism required saying without a uncertainty that war is war, and peace is peace, so much opposition to his present, even more serpentic mutation requires saying without inhibitions of an even more fundamental thing, namely, that it is so, no, and the remainder is ballast from hell.
Only then will he avoid being overwhelmed by a cat-quick deliberately unleashed and fueled by those who claim that war is war, but after a appropriate “recognition”, “context” and “rereading” it can carry certain features of peace, or even a new, better peace. This, in turn, is absolutely essential if 1 wants to effectively defend peace from those who want to destruct it primarily on the non-political and collective level, only on the individual and spiritual level – knowing perfectly that it depends on decisions on this level everything else.

The final "presentative democracy" phase takes place erstwhile its current triumphants are no longer able to offer their supporters, nor any attractive imagination of a bright future, nor even any credible promise of a unchangeable present, but simply a mocking celebration of the removal of their opponents, though no of them truly differ.
At that time, society has the chance to see "presentative democracy" in its naked, mask-free form: a phenomenon that serves not to prosecute "social visions" or to supply "social order", only to exploit social disadvantages and to channel social sentiments. Then, too, it may have a last chance to be sobered, embarrassed, and yet liberated: under all the conditions that it is inactive able to give adequate people an intellectual taste, remorse, and spiritual agitation.

One of the more glaring manifestations of spiritual infantilism is the word “the magic of Christmas” which has spread for a long time around each December. It is gross in its absurdity, as long as Christmas has nothing to do with any horoscope, tarot, divination, psychic, or any another witchcraft superstitions, but they are in fact completely other to them in their pronunciation: these holidays, however, commemorate the acceptance of human nature by God, which is simply a close inverse of human self-poverty, which forms the basis of all decently defined magic practices.
Hence, it is worth taking care to make a individual contribution to the elimination of this word from the universal linguistic space, as it is simply a uncommon example of a model combination of complacency and logical absurdity, which is to associate intellectual scheming with emotional manipulation. For the little thoughtless or mattatively prying about the “magic of Christmas”, the more will be consciously and in good religion can be told about their joys, joys, families, or significances, which stay to be wished to all.
