“They must be executed by shooting without any trial and judgment,” – offers a Facebook opposition user meaning, of course, the government authorities. “No, they should be treated like with Gaddafi,” – offer further oppositions. “No, first we must take away their stolen wealth, distribute it to the people, then quarter them and remove the scalp,” conclude the most radicals. Earlier, when there was no Facebook, I used to hear such talks “verbally” aimed particularly at “that blind”, “that Turk” and so on. Now, people’s written composition flourishes. I do not actually see any problem, I do not think that our citizens are so bloodthirsty. Simply we are used to giving a tribute to some primitive intellectual level and lower instincts, it can be said is a form of conducting a “noble talk”.
It is somewhat surprising, of course, that all of this is now considered a journalism, publicism, analysis or an opposition posture, a fighting species, political and civic position. It, certainly, does not mean that the current, as well as “previous” government authorities, should not be criticized in the most unsparing way and in the harshest (but polite) wording. Moreover, it seems to me very desirable that as a result of the forthcoming parliamentary elections, the ruling team is substituted by another team, not for this team is going to hatch “iron eggs” but for setting up the ground of ordinary rotation for the first time over the last 25 years. The entire problem is that these aforementioned childish threats do not bring the opposition to this goal ever a centimeter closer. But it is normal too, people want to express themselves and they do it in the frames of their mental outlook.
But those who are absolutely not correct in their expressions, they should be somewhat forgiving when so to say, the similar wording is voiced from the “reverse side”. Recently, parliamentarian Shushan Petrosyan, in her Facebook page comments, addressing another FB user, posted, “I will take your eyes out, hey puppy.” Certainly, she was wrong, the parliamentarian has no right to talk in a vocabulary of a rural old woman. But it would be logical for those who use softer and more restrained vocabulary to express their discontent with it.
Otherwise, it a bit looks like the famous parable of Krylov: about the Monkey and the Mirror.
