Why when the political and public figures of the National Salvation Front, the “No” camp are going to any residential area for a reality show of “Yes / No”, fewer people approach them. Certainly, for the campaign reason, it can be said that people are scared. Maybe there are already scared ones among them. But the main reason, in my opinion, is that people do not care about what these “landing troops” are going to say. They are indifferent towards the campaign of the politicians.
The easiest way, of course, is blaming people for servility or low-level of intellectual. It seems to me that both are slander against our citizens. The reasons for cold-polite welcome should be sought among the qualities of the incomers. While their main “peculiarity” is that, regardless of whether they say “yes” or “no,” are speaking “against the regime” or “in favor of the regime”, these orators do not actually say anything new, and do not frankly believe in their words.
Those who say “Yes” and “No” are saying some right or wrong words, but their minds are totally in a different place. Some of them, uttering these words, is thinking, “anyway, if necessary, I am going to bump on their heads,” the other part (regardless of “yes” or “no”) is thinking that “anyway, it is clear how all of this will end, just to sort out our work by uttering this “yes” or “no” words for having a few parliamentary seats at the NA during the 2017 parliamentary elections.”
If these “orators” suppose that “ordinary people” do not doubt their sincerity, then they are of bad opinion about our citizens. People can smile, offer hospitality, talk politely, but this does not mean that they “smoothly” admit all those speeches. Whatever, but it’s hard to blame our people for naivety. But the problem is not only in the hidden motivation of our politicians, eventually saying something in all political systems and thinking a completely different thing, more or less, is inevitable. I see a bigger problem in worn out and repetition of the uttered texts. Over 25 years, the entire political elite is in the same, as one of the politicians recently said, “algorithm”. The trouble is that the opposition, which often strongly criticizes the authorities, could not also find new texts and new algorithms. I, naturally, do not know them. Only one thing I can say that they are located beyond the “yes” and “no”.
