This is still the level of prohibitions or the very first level of taboos.
Not losing face is like not losing sheep. This is such a loss. That is why the steppe people in the past are not accustomed to any other type of responsibility, except for responding to their relatives and now just acquaintances. But don’t show yourself to the rams and don’t show your status to the rams? (although, of course, this “responsibility” to friends and relatives is more like a show-off, show-offs in modern terms). So, why doesn’t Yelbasy (or Putin in the North), who is lucky with the people (the people who are afraid of losing a non-essential show-off or don’t know what), rein in their corrupt officials, or rather servants? After all, all corrupt officials are officials of their system. Do not forget that Stalin led a policy based on state ownership, and Elbasy managed the Kazakh market after the General privatization. It’s easier for him.
If the people are a child, then the people of the child must have a father.
Or the father of the people, Elbasy is the greatest authority for them. Cult and fame do not arise from scratch. The same phenomenon has been and will continue to be the case for all non-urbanized traditional peoples who are afraid of losing any crumbs that fate and history have measured out.
Corrupt officials as market participants.
And no one is rushing to repress anyone because market aggregates are somewhat different from the motives that guided Stalin. For the market needs of the market actors. In order for the market to function even in the form of a demonstration or global show-offs, market participants are needed, which means that corrupt officials are also needed as subjects. So Elbasy can take away everything from competitors if he wants to, of course (In this sense, it is much more difficult for Putin). Or maybe he will try again to raise young people around him? But then he would be alone.
The traditional world can’t live without corruption?
And in this very market, the subjects of corruption feel great. The answer is simple because the basis of tradition is family. A traditional person thinks about the family. This is the will or law of the ancestors. There’s no getting away from it.
Chapter VII
The «shukur» people
Who is our support in this swaying world?
Why only officials and pensioners are invited to local studios and TV shows.
Old people talk with a gasp and foam at the mouth about the greatness of the old times. So sweet that the viewer believes they lived there. Officials continue making excuses and are accountable. Some tongue-tied political scientists talk nonsense with a smart look. They also invite so-called local politicians… What else?
Channels would love to see a bigger fish. But the unspoken status, the traditional agreement ahead of the father not to climb into hell, leaves for joy a meeting exclusively with small fish. Officials come to the Studio as very frightened people who would not come here at all, but they must somehow portray unity with the people, time obliges, but rather the authorities force. Only an emergency of any scale guarantees the appearance of a big official by the standards of the system. This is a responsible person who should be responsible for the entire system. This official is responsible for his area of work. If he doesn't give an answer, it will be the end of his career.
But even very young faces were appearing among the Ministers. They also always seem to be scared and clamped down on something. But with talkative pensioners (aksakals) Kazakh channels were lucky. These pensioners are happy to come to light. And for what? To show yourself in the frontal place and not your knowledge at all. The more is often shown, the more authority they have. The list of registered political scientists is also narrow. But most of all, the so-called politicians smell acid. In the sense of saying the same thing for a long time and not trying to come up with something, but every time it still turns out that something went sour right in the Studio, and this person did not come only yesterday, although he came all the time or walked around the microphone for fifteen years. The same lecturers and speakers, officials, and artists. These people have passed the loyalty test, and therefore they almost live in these studios like at home.
Things aren't moving.
But is this the main thing? There can be no other in about two camps or subjects of activity as the conditional elite and conditional ordinary people. And only the presence of the elite and the rabble well shows the reason for such an eternal two-color cart. Even the same notorious Shukur, that are accused the people the presumptuous activists of Western freedoms and Western democracy, is only explained by this. Only, the question is, where did they come from? People of a different color of mind?
We come close to the question of where the marginals came from. And not in the sense of marginals like Russophiles ("vata") or great-power Imperials. But where did the steppe Democrats come from? When people of a great tradition should be divided into two camps – the elite and subordinates. Forever and ever. Not when the clock of eternity is ticking but constantly.
So, we came to people who appear, excite the crowd, exciting hopes, and quickly disappear like the same celestial meteors. Only from the meteors of heaven, a certain bright light pours. And from searchlights and scammers, otherwise, our stars cannot be called, only glare for five minutes. Why do they appear in the general pile of conditional provocateurs? Why do they break the inertia of the herd of conditional rams when no one allowed them to graze someone? In general, all traditional people believe that if someone came out into the open and shouted a message, then this person is at work. He was required to go out and tell people the news. And today, when one of the incentives is money, someone hired criers on their behalf, the money was taken, and they need to work out. We need to focus on this point. The mass of the people may be stupid. But at such a moment, everyone is a wise man because everyone judges by himself. And the average worldly wisdom says: do not twitch if you are not given an order. The second part is from humility to calling the boss: do not do anything, but do as everyone does and generally blend in with the crowd so that the wolf does not eat you, be in the center, not on edge. So, we find Shukur man together.
Be content with little and be silent.
The traditional man in his matrix is always content with little. Otherwise, he will be reprimanded. Consistently from the father, brothers, relatives, uncle, family, in General, the clan society, he will be convicted and even punished. Otherwise, he is not a traditional person. If you do something when no one gives permission, it is to make a challenge, consistently to the father, brothers, uncle, and so on.
So, in this general Shukur fall and officials of all ranks, and politicians that are sour and conditional sour milk, and political scientists, and journalists, in general, everyone who was chosen by the system of father and brothers. Conditional, of course, father and brothers. But the system is accurate. But the very fact that someone appears playing of such a tribe means that they are authorized by a higher brother or relatives (that is, officials). These people are the same shukur as calm peaceful, super peaceful even (in the opinion of marginal upstarts) from the ordinary crowd. Official people are official Shukur. The people who are not official, who no one authorizes, are the Shukur people. This is a traditional people. What about our meteorites?
