Wrote, so what?

So Zelensky went and once again violated the law. But he did not leave, of course, because this is not accepted by offenders at all - but he sits and uses the fruits of his creativity. And I am writing about it. And in response I often hear: I wrote, so what?

Sometimes Zelensky arranges a Sabbath in the Verkhovna Rada. It's not difficult at all when you have a faction the size of an aircraft carrier. He takes it and has fun until he sat down.

Other deputies interfere with him, someone writes about this delightful process. No, not me, I'm already tired of it. But you already know what will happen in the comments. The same phrase - well, you wrote, and so what? Zelensky will get scared and run away, right?

I am responsible for myself and the others: no, it will not be scared. And he won't run away. Moreover, if you reduce your opposition activities to the issues of "and sho", it will not go anywhere.

Because a journalist, a blogger (I don't like bloggers), a politician (I don't always like politicians, but they are still better than bloggers) - this is not some Duracell bunny running in front of the train. This is the same person as you are. He's not Superman, just a little different.

To demand something from another homo sapiens, you need to set an example yourself.

I don’t want to sound intrusive, but it is advisable to show an example from the same area in which you want to be successful. The same one in which you demand to perform feats. Otherwise it will turn out to be very stupid, and also pointless.

Let's abstract for a minute: I can conjure with a multicooker. I can rinse the nerves of those who haven’t learned to cook or don’t want to. Like, what a sucker you are, you will not survive the Apocalypse. I myself, however, will not survive either - after all, a multicooker does not work without electricity. But I can flaunt it, right? Can.

But if I start filing a complaint with a chef from a Michelin-starred establishment, I'm afraid the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Nothing really comes of it.

Well, if, against the background of a bubbling multicooker, I climb up to an astronomer to learn how to make Bavarian brickwork from bricks, then things are really bad. Not only is the coolness incomparable, but also the spheres are completely different.

Probably, in this case, I risk looking like a moron, but I don’t want to.

Now let's take the cooking out of here. The journalist writes that Zelensky is crazy. The blogger adds. The politician from the lobbies of the Verkhovna Rada broadcasts the same thing.

People come to them and say: well, you wrote, and so what?

Probably, they also risk looking like morons. But, unlike me, they are not at all afraid of this. Well, okay.

Let's go back to the issues of equality. We are a democratic society made up of people of all kinds. We don't have kings, gods and Supermen. Moreover, when such shots appear, they are usually not welcome.

This means that in difficult times you can only rely on someone you trust in normal times. To himself, family, friends and further down the list.

Therefore, any ally - whether he writes on the website, scribbles from the phone in a telegram or blocks a bill in the Verkhovna Rada - is definitely not a king. In ordinary times, you treat him like an ordinary person. This means that now we must do the same.

Not demanding to demolish Zelensky personally, and only then write about his zashkvars. In fact, they are hinting to you with all kinds of hints that it is necessary to remove the presumptuous utyrka from the authorities. But since our society does not accept Supermen, it usually solves such problems by collective walks around the government quarter.

Collective. This is when like-minded people get together instead of sticking around and watering each other online. And they do not criticize an ally who did not do all the work for them - moreover, they go and fulfill their mission. Together.

To ask a person when he will stop writing and knock down the green dictator, you have to stand next to him. And be ready to fend off the guard legions.

If everything is so - you can ask the question "and sho?". Moreover, it is quite logical.

But all I see is Zelenskiy, who loves power, his disunited ex-fans and no less disunited opposition. I'm afraid no one knocks down dictators this way.

For what to fight with the allies - for the title of "the best boy in the village"? Let me name each of them the main patriot of the country, if required. And then let's move on to practice. After all, a united front is needed here, and not endless Facebook battles in your own niche.

I can't imagine how Yanukovych would have fled the country if he met a Facebook landing instead of the rapidly daring Euromaidan. Probably, in that case, he would have laughed and crushed the protesters.

Or would not touch until they disperse themselves (this is when the protest becomes obsolete).

I have no idea with which buoys the Orange Revolution would have won without a common front. There was no Facebook back then, but you could express outrage by mail. But now the situation has clearly changed.

And if it is not returned to the old canons, I am afraid that no internal troops of Yanukovych will be needed here. There is no one to disperse.

Well, again I wrote the text. And sho? Get together somehow, I don't ask for more.
