Why Private School

We need to be stricter with ourselves.

What is happening in the global political arena. BelPress

— What is the problem with the dollar?

— Let’s turn to the national debt of its main producer, the United States. That’s over $31 trillion. Any government debt needs to be serviced. Any money is tied to specific material resources: industry, raw materials, gold. And since in America most of the real production has been transferred to China, the dollar today is by and large an inflated financial bubble, divorced from material support, a kind of simulacrum .

BP Help

Simulacrum is a copy of something that doesn’t really exist anymore, a cultural or political creation that copies the form of the original sample. The term was first used by the philosopher Plato.

Example. A low-income American takes out a mortgage on a home and “suddenly” finds that he is unable to pay for it. The bank that gave him the loan does not take the house, but resells the debt to another bank, then the Trust Fund buys it for even more money. The financial bubble is inflating, and in the meantime, housing is deteriorating and losing value. As a result, the difference between the real state of affairs and what is declared increases dramatically. nine0005

In order to prevent this bubble from bursting, we urgently need to launch material reinforcement, that is, visual production, where the product can be really felt by hand. And the only full-cycle production that remains on the territory of America is the military-industrial complex. Only he is able to launch a real influx of funds, and the easiest way for them to do this is to provoke a local armed conflict. In it, as a rule, there is no goal to win, there is a goal to earn. Just letting the dollar bubble explode and watching from the side will not work – this is still the main world currency, and all countries will get it hard. nine0005

“Without even having time to comprehend”

“The military-industrial complex provides Western countries with another valuable resource – cheap labor. After all, their main way of managing is the so-called service economy, when more than 60% of the population is involved in the service sector, and not material production (hairdressers, waiters, couriers, etc.). This social stratum in politics is called precariat .

BP certificate

Precariat – a class of socially unsettled people who do not have full guaranteed employment. These are workers with temporary or part-time employment, which is permanent. The precariat is characterized by: weak security, lack of many social guarantees, unstable income.

Example. A young taxi driver took a car on credit to earn money. To repay the loan and leave at least a little for life, he works 10-12 hours a day. That is, he has a minimum of time for food, sleep and rest. And to get an education that will help him in finding a better paid job, and does not remain at all. Over time, his body, like a car, wears out, and he can no longer work in the same rhythm. It turns out a vicious circle. nine0005

For the service economy, it is important to have an influx of new precariat that will not allow the financial bubble to burst. The Yugoslav wars, showdowns in the Middle East, Nazism in Ukraine largely gave rise to an influx of cheap labor to the West.

A high-quality education with the same load and depth as the Soviet one was is unprofitable for Western countries today. It is beneficial for a person to fall into the state of the precariat, without even having time to comprehend it, and become raw material for the service economy.

In a situation of “no future”

– Why has the world been taken over again by a wave of Nazism, despite the lessons of history?

— In any political phenomenon, one must look for someone who benefits from it. Some countries are trying to resolve the contradictions that have accumulated in the domestic economy through cynical violence, a sharp change in course.

In this case, constructors of mass thinking are used, that is, an ideology aimed at the implementation of violence. It can be fascism, terrorism, religious extremism… The essence is the same – to inspire seemingly logically
an accessible explanation of what is happening to a not too educated person who has accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with the surrounding reality. The message is this: you can solve all your problems at once by gaining power, which means you can get what you want.

Thus, after the English reform of Margaret Thatcher, the skinhead movement was born. A huge number of factories were closed, many young people were left without work, in a situation of “no future”. They did not have time to receive a high-quality, in-depth education for a full understanding of other paths. Therefore, their decisions are primitive: they want to gain power here and now in the simplest way. The ideology of violence fits perfectly on this soil. nine0005

The same with terrorists in the Arab world. Again, a low level of education, life in an unstable economic and political situation, and even a serious pressure of religious dogma… Islam itself is a peaceful religion, but some interpret it for their own purposes. An Arab cannot marry a worthy beautiful girl, because he has no money, a normal job, etc. A neurosis arises, complexes that he wants to quickly compensate for. There is no strategic thinking about the future. There are only “emotional swings” when primitive instincts work in a person. nine0005

— What happened in Germany before World War II?

— Crazy inflation due to huge economic problems after World War I. Germany is almost the only one in Europe that does not have colonies that could compensate for financial failures, and access to the sea (this is important now, but then it was almost a decisive factor). Money depreciated so quickly that people joked: it is cheaper to paste over the walls with a German mark than to buy wallpaper on it. nine0005

Most of the Germans did not have money, except for the Jews, who were engaged in small-scale production. By the way, the Europeans themselves forced them to occupy this niche. After the first crusade, the right to own land was taken away from the Jews. And they had no choice but to go into trade – an indecent occupation then from the point of view of the church and the aristocracy.

But the worst thing is that the military-industrial complex, which sets the tone for the entire industry in the country, was suffocating. After all, most of the benefits for ordinary people (such as the Internet, microwave, etc.) are derivatives of military developments. nine0005

The Germans felt humiliated. And the propaganda of the idea of ​​a “superior race” perfectly fit into this worldview: you don’t need to grow above yourself, develop, make efforts, you were just born the way you were born, and everyone around is worse than you. It remains only to pick up the “put” benefits. By the way, at first the Poles were also under this propaganda. And when the army of the failed Austrian artist (who, by the way, did not fit the image of the Aryan race himself) attacked, they were very surprised.

Nazism is an ideology for the weak, humiliated and offended. It perfectly fits the weakened social strata of society when the country is in a state of economic crisis. After all, it is much easier to imagine oneself in everything as a right-wing representative of some superior race and to commit violence for the sake of self-affirmation. nine0005

Luxury Carrot

— Poverty is now a problem in several major US cities. In Los Angeles, campgrounds for the homeless are growing, who cannot even get a school education. The lion’s share of Americans do not have access to good quality food. Fast food, which Russian merchants elevated to the rank of prestigious consumption, has always been considered food for the poor in the West. Hence the unrealistically huge costs of government weight loss programs – most ordinary Americans are obese. nine0005

Unfortunately, Russian people tend to mimic a civilization that is more perfect in their understanding. Big-size fashion (clothes with deviations upwards from the usual sizes) and body-positive (love yourself with excess weight) also came to us from there. Remember what the first rappers in Russia wore? A stretched sweater, lowered pants … This trend, like rap itself, comes from poor American neighborhoods, where clothes were bought for growth.

In this vein, eco-trends that have come to us from the West look funny, like shops selling eco-products. The same potatoes, carrots (certainly natural) can be bought many times cheaper from local grandmothers, but it’s not so prestigious…

I don’t believe in global conspiracy theory, but I don’t remember a body-positive US president. They are all remarkably well-groomed, eat normally and go in for sports.

There is reason to think. On combat bears

— In the last century, stereotypes about Russians roamed the world – accordion, bears, vodka, earflaps and fearlessness on the verge of recklessness. How are we seen today?

— The main part of Europe still perceives us today through stereotypes implanted by mass culture. When was the last time you saw a positive image of a Russian in Western cinema? Suffice it to recall the film “Armageddon”, where the Russian cosmonaut is always drunk. In computer games, we are either evil or stupid. The Hollywood machine is working properly to dehumanize our image. Because Vasya, a marginal with a black eye, such a fool and a hooligan, no one feels sorry for. For some reason, they do not show our virtuoso pianist Denis Matsuev in the cinema. And they don’t write on their banners that Russia has the best programmers, but quietly buy them, indoctrinate them and silently use the fruits of our free education. nine0005

The same situation with musicians. We have built an excellent system for their training, starting with a music school – and for money that even villagers can afford. While in Western countries it is extremely expensive to get this education. We train – they quietly recruit.

But if for the mass European population Russians “in caps with earflaps ride fighting bears around the home reactor”, then the smarter elite perfectly sees the worthy competition and threat coming from Russia. Otherwise, they would not have applied so much effort towards us. nine0005

– The eternal question: what to do?

— You need to be stricter with yourself. Stop rejoicing at the dashing “maybe”. This rigor will give rise to discipline, and that, in turn, will give rise to the quality of the result.

We lack the discipline of information consumption. In primitive times, it allowed to get food, to survive. And now we have as much as we don’t need, but we, like drug addicts, continue to mechanically click on the buttons of digital devices. As a result, we do not have time to realize the surrounding reality, treat it critically, analyze it. I call it the precariat of consciousness. nine0005

It’s a shame, but I see from students that their ability to realize, to accept something new is fading. They are no longer interested in anything, because the personality filter is clogged to capacity. We only now have the concept of “information hygiene”, and five years ago no one explained it to children. Did you know that the children of Bill Gates used push-button phones until they were of age so as not to clog their brains? After all, today we have thousands of imposed truths in our smartphones. And there is really only one truth. nine0005

Exam for the nation

— Every Belgorod citizen is interested in how long the NWO will last…

— For our country, it makes no sense to prolong this conflict. I think this winter will put everything in its place. Both politically and economically, it is easier for us to build with our neighbors than to conduct an NWO. Sometimes I hear: “Why can’t you hit it right once and finish everything?”. You forget that we are not having a war, but a special operation, the purpose of which is to defeat Nazism, and not to destroy the fraternal people. Here, as a Belgorod citizen, I have relatives both in Luhansk and in Kyiv. For us, this is, let’s say, the standard. And thank God that this understanding is also at the top. nine0005

After all, the task is not to plant our own flag on the neighboring territory, but to push the ideological destructiveness – extremism, terrorism, etc. away from our borders. Ukraine was turned into a springboard for biting Russia, and this began to take on rampant proportions.

What is happening in Ukraine is only part of the complex processes in the field of security. This is not just a SVO, this is a battle for the future of Russia, an exam for solvency. We are mobilizing our forces (in every sense of the word) for a completely different throw. Now we, as a country, as a people, are proving our right to become an adult nation, having the right not only to life, but also to our opinion, our truth. But, of course, the special operation will speed up the formation of new poles – the antagonists of the West. nine0005

In Belgorod, as well as in Donetsk and Luhansk before, attitudes in the paradigm “the private is more important than the general” are gradually disappearing. Volunteering is growing, the meaningfulness of being, thoroughness appears. Those who stubbornly remain with their particular against the general suffer.

Like everything new, the new world is born in pain, with resistance – internal and external. This birth is inevitable, but you need to unite and deserve it. We need to mature as a nation.

Being in the Belgorod region now means observing global world changes. We need to go to work, provide for a family, and, if possible, build the society that we so badly need today. Adjustment Exam 90-x we passed on the triple. How we pass this new exam will determine our future life.

We do not impose, we invite to the space of the lesson, we involve you to get acquainted with the subjects that the Teacher teaches with pleasure and interest.

We support the student’s efforts and pay attention to what happened. We compare only with ourselves, when, for example, yesterday we didn’t know how at all, but today something has already happened. We are noticing this progress. nine0053 .

We believe that play is important for children of primary school age, so we allocate a place and time for it within school life. Our students play mobile, board, role-playing and free games.

We take the state standard program as a basis and give the opportunity to study objects and phenomena more widely and deeply.
