And again about extremes. Or, a fanatic zeal to imperialistic ideas and programs that allegedly should protect us against Turks and Azerbaijanis, or aggressive hatred towards “Putin regime”, which allegedly enslaves us. Although, the RF President has absolutely no sin here, if we do not want to become enslaved, no one can do it to us.
Or, a philistine contempt toward the native language, statements that the diploma awarded in Armenia does not cost a penny in anywhere, which is only partly true, and even if it were 100% true, then the responsibility should lie not on the Armenian language, but our ineffective education system. Or, stereotyped “purism” that seems to almost require an “Armenian” beard and bast shoes.
Or, false alarms, allegedly LGBT community imported from “degenerated Europe” is destroying our national identity and family. Or, the same false alarms, allegedly homosexuals are pursued in Armenia.

Or, an aggressive attitude towards the issue of migrants, “you generally have no place to talk about, we have fled from here, now sit quietly in your places.” Or, glorification of emigrants, “Well, they did it all right, this country is not worth living in.” Usually it is done to justify the move.
Or, “Christian fundamentalism,” who is not an atheist, he was not an Armenian. Or, obscene attacks on our religion and profane expressions that my tongue is unable to reiterate. To the point, about the Catholicos and bishops, in my opinion, we can talk; they are mortals just like us.
Or, pro-government pragmatism, which justifies all moves of all wings of the government. Or, opposition pragmatism, which seeks to see anything bad in everything, even in the Armenian tablets.
Or, starving to see “Turkish blood”, or, to degrade your people’s liberation struggle.
Or, toady “cheburashka”, or chronic “offended.”
The truth, in this case, is not in the middle. The truth is beyond all dimensions described.
