I expect a lot of disadvantages, but still. Lol, why did you decide that the younger generation is not zombified? I think it's hard to deny outright pro-Western, but natural propaganda in the form of pop culture, the Internet, and social networks. This is certainly better than Putin's Channel One ,but it is also some kind of propaganda. The older generation relies more on experience, and the younger generation relies more on facts and knowledge, as it has always been — everyone was once young, and the young will once be adults. In general, this is a difficult topic, just please stop, please, considering someone stupid, and someone smart, relying primarily on age.
I see that two people already don't quite understand the question correctly. I'm sorry if I'm not asking correctly enough. In the context of the question, I mean people who, for the most part, so easily moved from atheism to Orthodoxy, who are in demand for absolutely infantile and degenerate TV shows, who are completely superficially versed in foreign literature, music, etc.and instead live according to outdated patterns long ago, while the older generation of the West has long mastered the computer and other progressive gizmos.
I hope the admins will forgive me for answering their own question.
The sudden truth is that for most people, a political position is, first of all, an identity. In simple words: I'm a liberal / scoop, I'm with those over there, against those over there. And then there is a reflection on the party's program. This means that all people are zombified equally easily, just the ” scoops “have one identity and they pull any owl on the globe to justify” their”, and the liberals have a different identity, they have other” their”, other globes and other owls. As I have noticed in my own experience, people with a reflected political position, most often, adhere to centrist views and do not have a political identity. It's funny, but a truly thoughtful and balanced position is marginal and is condemned by both quilted jackets and liberals.
It seems to me that this is due to the fact that earlier information was filtered before being broadcast, and people “got used” to thinking about what is being broadcast on TV. the truth.
The Internet is much easier to brainwash any generation through filtering news, cutting off opposing opinions, an abundance of imposed advertising, etc.
Zombification is the imposition of opinions, positions, etc., right? So why exactly, as you said, is the “Soviet” generation susceptible to this? It seems to me that most people are subject to this in principle. Do we have the younger generation and all these intellectuals with their own well-founded opinions? Their entire position on any issues or problems is the position of their authority: some blogger (in fact, the same inexperienced teenager) or some newfangled book or movie. If it says that one way or another it is bad to live, then it is so, and everything that elders or parents say is all garbage (they are also “Soviet”, which means stupid). If they said that the film is “shit”, then it is” shit ” and you can not watch it to have your own opinion, and you can use other people's arguments. Well, and so in principle in everything in life. So I think we should stop singling out any particular generation, any particular segment of the population and say that “they are the wrong ones”.
They were taught this from childhood. They were taught external reference , which is when someone outside knows what's best for you much better than you do. Deep down, these people are very helpless and do not know how to live without being embedded in a rigid unambiguous system
The question is addressed: why are the “people of the perestroika generation” so easily zombified? I have an answer to both the direct and reverse formulation of this question. I note that both of them consider each other” zombified ” on approximately equal grounds.
The difference is that many people born before 1979-80 still remember how things were in reality, and not “really”. Because you saw it with your own eyes. The generation born in the 90s is no longer so politicized – it is more likely to prioritize material well-being.
But those born in the 80s were formed in an era of lawlessness, when there was simply NO prevailing attitude, the goal was only to survive in the current conditions. Therefore, the most active generation now, devoid of its own worldview (normally formed in early adolescence), is subject to all sorts of influences – both myths about the “horrors of the scoop” and stuffing conducted on both sides of the information war.
