It is known who: fat-fat aunts from TV screens. They usually have a number on their chest in size ten. Well, you know, these numbers are hung on cattle so that in case of loss, the finder can know who this pig or cow belongs to. But it may be written on the number plate of pigs and cows: лThe Estate of the Lord of hosts. We ask the finder to return the animal to the owner.╗. But those fat and obese aunts who constantly talk about terrorism-those have something pathetic written on the numbers: лpsychologist╗, лjuvenile psychologist╗, лsociologist╗ or even лpaleologist╗. In short, the latter is rare.

And how they talk about terrorism! It doesn't matter what they say. The main thing is that they say very correct things. From the point of view of the authorities, of course. And they speak in such a way that it is impossible to accuse them of insincerity. A fat pig gets up in the TV Studio, shaking all thirty-eight of his chins, and starts yelling. And yells, and yells, and yells. Like an old Spanish poem: y canta y canta y canta. Only it's not quite like that. лCanta╗ in Spanish means лsing╗, but here we have more of a lament of Yaroslavna, and therefore here you need to write лclamor╗ instead of лcanta╗. It turns out: y clamor y clamor y clamor. In short, it's even better. You see, we are already writing poems in Spanish. Let's get back to business.

So, they start yelling. Here is such a drenched-drenched (and smoky) female voice... Well, as a woman... Like Vysotsky's voice, in short. That's exactly the kind of voice that starts yelling something inarticulate about terrorism. These women usually do not swear, but sometimes there are exceptions. In short, they Moo so that just any cow would envy, and if they shouted in the field, all the bulls-producers would run to them for mating games. But what are they shouting? лTerrorism is disgusting!╗ Ц they shout. лTerrorism is disgusting!╗ Ц they shout. In short, they talk such nonsense that it is impossible to listen.

лWhy discuss them?╗ Ц you may ask. Of course, even Flavius philostratus wrote that the ignorance of the rabble is unworthy of attention, but still... All those fat, oiled cows yelling about the dangers of terrorism on TV are a sign of the reactionary era.

лWhat is the reactionary age?╗ Ц you ask. Well, I'll try to answer that. It is often said that the reactionary era is an era when the past becomes the future and the future becomes the past. If I'm not mistaken, it was written by Victor Hugo. But this is all vague and vague, because there is no living example. Fortunately, in a truly reactionary era, in which we all really live, you do not need to look for an example for a long time. Naturally, because life itself offers us one great example. Horribly vile and smelly, but such a clear example. Here, use your brain... In short, it is difficult, and I do not want to subject my Pets to the torment of labor. They will still have to undergo this torment in full, even if they finish school.

I will choose an example for you myself. Teachers constantly tell us that the Soviet Union with it's free education is the past. In short, as well as free education itself. And free medicine is the past. And we don't need to go into space. We don't need science at all. Yes, art is also, in principle, superfluous. That's what they teach us at school. The teachers who tell us these things are standing right behind you right now, listening to my speech with pale faces. Perhaps they want to call the gendarmes to stop me. It is possible that they have already called. If the latter is true, then I need to hurry, so let's continue.

So, our teachers teach us that all the good things in our life that we inherited from the Soviet Union are the past. Now someone will reproach me with the fact that I, you see, love the USSR. Of course, we have people who hate the USSR. They went to Soviet schools, were treated in Soviet hospitals, grew up in Soviet homes, and then they hate everything Soviet. In short, the USSR fans amuse me too. Most of them tell us so: let's love the USSR, but not the whole of it. They say that we love repression-Yes. We will also love the military. And you have to love censorship, too. But free medical care and free education Ц this is the cost. We will not love this. These people are even worse than those who hate the USSR, because they hide their abomination. In short, we were distracted from the case.

We are offered a future that is more like the past, but the past is not Soviet, but rather Imperial. The word "Imperial" can cause some excitement in our fellow citizens. The Empire is great. Well, if there are fans of getting a Cossack whip in the face, who think that this is very cool Ц then we can only be happy for them. This joy is not without Foundation, for now we are being offered Cossacks with whips again. лWhy do we need to fly into space if there are Cossacks with whips?╗ Ц asks our government. They are not personally interested in space. The reason for this lies in the fact that the pigs, which are our gentlemen-deputies, carrying a hundred kilograms of pure fat with them, Ц can not lift up their snout and even look at the stars. And, as you can imagine, they will not even think of going there. Until, at least, there is enough slops on earth to feed them. When the slops run out, these fat pigs will probably die, but still do not dare to fly, because they are cowardly creatures. Do not forget, however, that people usually raise pigs not for beauty, but for food, and therefore if the slops for feeding pigs run out, it means that it is time to kill the pigs themselves for bacon. Yes, we fatten pigs in order to kill them for bacon! Even if these pigs are members of Parliament. Triste, sed vero, or, as the Americans now say: sed, but true.

So we live in a reactionary age. Moreover, it has been so long in our country that only a few of the oldest old people remember what it was like to live in the progressive era. In short, few of them remember those times. Yes, the reactionary era has dragged on. It has been delayed so much that you, your parents, and even your grandparents know only the reaction. Therefore, if it is very easy to explain to you that there is a reactionary era, because you are children of such an era, then it will not be easy to explain to you the essence of the progressive era. In short, you're not too drunk right now, so I hope I can do it.
