years of the XXI century, a series of popular outrages, revolutions, resignations, coups called the «Arab Spring"began in the Maghreb countries.
From what hibernation did the northern and western Arabs wake up?
Let’s take it in order.
It all started with the self-immolation of Arab unemployed in Tunisia. WikiLeaks also reported on the Internet about total corruption, which embittered the population. The self-immolation was only an excuse for a riot. In addition to the second Jasmine Revolution, this revolution was called the «WikiLeaks revolution». That is, the influence of social networks and high technologies has passed the first political run-in.
President Ben Ali, who ruled the country for 23 years, fled Tunisia for Saudi Arabia.
How so? The president seems to be a democratically elected person and has ruled the country for 23 years. There is nothing surprising. Before Ben Ali, the same president was his predecessor Habib Bourguiba. This former French lawyer, who also seems to have been brought up on European values, ruled the country for 30 years and the formal reason for his removal from power in 1987 (the first Jasmine Revolution) was his old age. Both Bourguiba and Ben Ali placed their own men in government posts throughout their reigns.
You can’t fool nature.
You can proclaim your commitment to European values and talk about your love for democracy as much as you want, but in fact, you can place your relatives everywhere in government posts. Such a system is indeed viable because it is still the same traditional autocracy. Of all the African countries on the coast, Tunisia had the highest education rates. However, this did not stop the people. The people united the Internet. The influence of the Internet is like a divine leader. This leader is not really there, but he is there. It is there because someone has ignited the hearts of Tunisians with anger. They were outraged by the corruption in the Ben Ali administration.
And why are they outraged by corruption?
Tunisians have not only become physically numerous (zeref’s loop). Most of the Tunisian intelligentsia studied in Europe. The Arab soul and European values (knowledge) gave the jasmine god-the invisible leader (the remid’s loop).
What do we have in the end?
Any revolt has several nodes of contradictions.
We answer these questions with the revcon.
The reasons for the second Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia are:
1. Modernization. Industrialization in the Western manner after the declaration of independence. If innovations come to the traditional environment, they stimulate sharp childbearing of the population. It is Zeref’s loop.
2. Modernization. Education. Mass education of the population begins because a complex economy needs educated professionals. The government seeks to get rid of the dependence of the metropolis and white professionals. The new states always need our own staff of specialists. It is Remid’s loop. And the remids are always ambitious and intolerant of the facts of injustice.
3. You can talk a hundred, a thousand times about democracy and civil law, in fact, everything is the opposite. This is evidence that there is a large traditional population, while there are few professionals and intellectuals. If the Zerefs are many, they have many children, Remids are few, they are not even Remids yet, but Zeremids, and Zeremids have inferiority complexes and behave like servants at the right moment. Therefore, the ethics of submission always leads to corruption. The traditional population can sing publicly about anything, but it remains the traditional population. The traditional population needs a sultan, an autocrat, a dictator. It’s more convenient for them. This is the zeremid’s loop.
4. The traditional world as usual is divided into castes. All official figures in public are hypocritical and wear European tailcoats. It also doesn’t change anything. Strangers people why outside the main clan are not allowed to cash flows and positions. Total corruption will result. I repeat once again: this traditional scheme is convenient for the people. Unless, of course, there were provocateurs from outside (as WikiLeaks). When strangers are not allowed to join the ranks of the current main clan, this is a zerot’s loop.
It's the same story in Libya and Egypt.
Hosni Mubarak ruled for 30 years, Muammar Gaddafi ruled for 40 years. Both dictators called themselves by different names and referred to themselves as belonging to different political camps. Colonel Gaddafi was a popular socialist. Mubarak was based on the values of Western democracy.
Chapter II
Why didn’t they colonize Jupiter?
Few people think about the meaning of life. In a conservative world, everyone seems to have no room for selfishness at all. This is understandable. Either a well-fed person or a noble person thinks about the meaning of life, and a person from the elite is a priori a well-fed person. It is not proper for an aristocrat to be hungry, otherwise what kind of aristocrat is? Poverty and hunger make a person insignificant and dependent (dependent on the collective of relatives in the first place. And so on). This dependence eventually turns into the duty of everyone born in a traditional team, and this duty is one of the innate habits. (Today, this debt is called a debt to the Motherland and Motherland is the same group of people that the hero does not know, but he knows that there is a Homeland)
Therefore, it is not necessary to teach all traditional peoples heroism. They have been fighting each other for thousands of years. All the peoples of the world still need heroes. Although modern heroes are called differently today. But this does not interfere with our conclusions.
Traditional people are born for war.
All traditional people were born to fight, or to be more precise, to survive. The struggle can also be with nature itself. But the struggle for survival and survival does not exclude the war of the Zerefs with each other. After all, the man himself is the most important part of nature. At least, that’s what he decided. Although in nature, the struggle of species did not stop for a moment without human intervention. This struggle of species means that it is still going on.
But how does a person fight? Who is he still fighting with nature or with yourself? With both.
Although the struggle of the peoples took a variety of forms it is important for us to find out how the mass struggle, or war, or the tradition of war, survived its wild time and what form it took at the moment. We are already used to it, and we are taught that only savage people engage in bloody battles, and modern people do not. Modern people are so tolerant of each other, so tolerant, so cute. There is no war (and there is one). There is no nationalism (but there is one). There are no conspiracies of financiers (there is a contract).
So.
Are people really tolerant of each other?
Where did the heroic traditions disappear? How have the traditions changed in general? After all, according to the law of conservation of energy, nothing disappears anywhere, but only changes its shape.
Once we started this conversation with the Arab Spring.
We need to be clear. Or explain. Or just reassure ourselves that we know something. We just know something. We just know the facts, but it’s hard to make a system. But who finds it difficult?
And since we know something, we will also draw our own quick conclusions.
Moreover, we have a new method – revcon.
There is such a concept in the world practice as modernization.
What do we know about modernization?
Modernization is understood as the process of transition of traditional collectives, communities, and peoples to another state, to the
