When in January and February of this year, the PAP party members within “non-government trio” were “demanding a regime change”, they were embodiment of honesty, great thinkers, almost each of them a Spinoza. As soon as they ceased being a PAP party member, complemented the number of “independent parliamentarians” and met with the President of the Republic of Armenia, it turned out that they are not so great thinkers and vice versa, can become a subject of laughingstock. As our classics would say, “What is glory? Today, people will raise you up the horns, tomorrow the same people will throw you down to crush under the hooves.”
Bestowing lavish praises on the people or political forces, overly admiring estimates when they meet your expectations, and equally excessive abasement when they do not meet these expectations, are commonly spread phenomena. Both extremes are not meaningful. If once these parliamentarians had done good things, they, of course, should be thanked. If you think that now they are doing wrong things, they should be … forgiven, a man is fallible. But when we change our point of view every minute by giving moral and psychological assessments, it speaks about the instability of our character.
Two months ago, the NA ANC faction member Lyudmila Sargsyan was very precious for this party and its supporters, a staunch revolutionist, a pioneer of the fight against the “regime” and so on. And all of a sudden, in one day, she became, in Lenin’s words, a “Renegade Kautsky” or a “Judas Trotsky.” (To the point, if you are calling someone a Judas, I think deep in your soul that you are the Christ, which probably does not meet the reality).
Lyudmila Sargsyan’s response fits the same logic. “I know the ANC’s work style, and, of course, it was not unexpected for me, especially by the Facebook group of zombies, who are always put into action”, said the parliamentarian in the interview with tert.am. When you were praised, they were not zombies, do they now become zombies? It is a usual partisan propaganda having nothing to do with mental disorders. The word “zombie” is absolutely inappropriate. Again, if they say right things, let us be thankful to the partisans, and if they make a mistake, let us forgive them. Idealizing the same people periodically and throwing dirt to the social environment results in deep mistrust.
