The biggest problem is that people have been convinced through powerful propaganda that they have always been drinking non-stop since time immemorial, that drinking is normal, and that they need to "drink in a cultured way."
Again, some copy-pasted text with other people's thoughts and words, just like that foolish priest! Imagine, a parrot belonging to ariputra (if he had one):rolleyes: ? "Eurrrrrr-rrei! Eurrrrrr-rrei! Destroy! Terror! Glorious Russia! Hari Krishna, Hari Rama, Christ is Risen, Perun, come!"
Regarding the highlighted part: drinking "non-stop" and "in a cultured way" – in my opinion, you need to be completely out of your mind ("YOUR mind is the king in your head";) (s) to confuse these things, to listen to some pseudo-professor with pseudo-statistics and pseudo-scientific "lectures." I have never had the impression that people in Russia have been drinking non-stop since time immemorial; I don't know what idiotic sources led someone to form such an opinion?! But they weren't exactly teetotalers either; they drank ecologically pure, low-alcohol beverages ("mead-beer," etc.) on holidays – that is, in a cultured way, as understood by modern, reasonable people. I don't understand: is Professor Preobrazhensky and Dr. Bormental from the movie "The Dog's Heart" just a bunch of drunkards, no better than Sharikov, in ariputra's opinion:eek: ? Both of them are "stealing" and "stealing":rolleyes: ... Okay, now the logic of ariputra's sympathies for the obvious :smile04: :smile04: :smile04: is clear – if a real professor, probably a drunkard, sold out to the Jews for booze and a warm place (if he isn't Jewish himself!), says that elephants cannot be launched into orbit by spinning them around their trunk, our hero will definitely not consider his opinion more important than the opinion of some newly-minted internet-Sharikov, but a teetotaler (and what am I kidding, he will praise Sharikov, and if Sharikov is also religious, then he is a prophet, no less:smile41: !). If that's the case, then I have no more questions.
