Сегодня не до мастурбации
Не время этого контента
Сегодня день инаугурации
Невиданного президента.

Как много радости в народе
Шумит повсюду торжество
К нам Дональд Трамп с небес нисходит
И Илон Маск пророк его.

Забился в щель Барак Обама
Настало время возрождаться
Ликуют граждане Панамы
Поют канадцы и гренландцы.

Ему горячий шлёт привет
Неудержимый как пропеллер
Мыслитель русский и поэт
Михал Иосифович Веллер.

Трамп даст ответ на сто вопросов
Он мудр, последователен, смел
С ним наша женщина-философ
Сама Латынина Ю. Л.

Дрожите гнусные квадроберы
Держись трансгендеро-фашисты
Раз за него такие блогеры
Ютуберы и колумнисты.

When the Soviets called their enemies “fascists,” they turned the word into a meaningless insult. Putinist Russia has preserved the habit: a “fascist” is anyone who opposes the wishes of a Russian dictator. So Ukrainians defending their country from Russian invaders are “fascists.” This is a trick that Trump has copied. He, like Vladimir Putin, refers to his enemies as “fascists,” with no ideological significance at all. It is simply a term of opprobrium.
Putin and Trump are both, in fact, fascists. And their use of the word, though meant to confuse, reminds us of one of fascism’s essential characteristics. A fascist is unconcerned with the connection between words and meanings. He does not serve the language; the language serves him. When a fascist calls a liberal a “fascist,” the term begins to work in a different way, as the servant of a particular person, rather than as a bearer of meaning.
That is quite a fascist achievement. Faced with the complexity of history, liberals struggle with the overwhelming volume of questions to be asked, answers to be offered. Like communism, fascism is an answer to all questions, but a different kind of answer. Communism assures us that we can, thanks to science, find an underlying direction in all events, toward a better future. This is (or was) seductive. Fascism reduces the imbroglio of sensation to what the Leader says.
A liberal has to tell a hundred stories, or a thousand. A communist has one story, which might not turn out to be true. A fascist just has to be a storyteller. Because words do not attach to meanings, the stories don’t need to be consistent. They don’t need to accord with external reality.

Before becoming the editor of New Yorker, David Remnick served as the Moscow correspondent of The Washington Post. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1994 for his book "Lenin's Tomb: The Last Days of the Soviet Empire".

A Soviet intellectual who was packing her bags to emigrate to the United States said, "I looked at Yeltsin -- someone I voted for -- and I feared for this country if he ever got more power than he has now. I was embarrassed. I really don`t care if he was drinking or not, that`s probably not fair to judge. But please, tell me you don`t have such buffoons in the United States."
