Escape to the past is not just an individual psychology.<\/p>\n
This is also a highly functional political ground.<\/p>\n
Because despair does not only produce a state of mind;
\nproduces a manageable society.<\/p>\n
And at this point the past ceases to be an innocent space of remembrance.
\nIt becomes a tool used consciously or intuitively.<\/p>\n
THE LINK BETWEEN HOPELESSNESS AND CONTROL<\/strong><\/p>\n The weaker a society's belief in the future, the more easily it can be manipulated. But despair stops you. - Questions, But it's hopeless:<\/p>\n - He'll accept it, This is why despair is not a politically neutral state. POLITICIZATION OF THE PAST<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the most effective means of this control is the reconstruction of the past.<\/p>\n Because the past is an ideal tool:<\/p>\n - It cannot be audited, That is why in political language the past is often used as follows:<\/p>\n - A \u201cgolden age\u201d is created, Thus, the following narrative emerges:<\/p>\n - \u201cWe were once strong.\u201d And the sentence that immediately follows: FEAR GENERATION: WHY DOES THE FUTURE LOOK DANGEROUS?<\/strong><\/p>\n But this narrative alone is unlikely to be sufficient.<\/p>\n Because it is not enough just to glorify the past.<\/p>\n It is also necessary to devalue the future.<\/p>\n So fear comes into play.<\/p>\n The future: Change: The mind is thus confronted with the following dilemma:<\/p>\n What about an unknown risk... At this point, the choice is often psychological, not rational.<\/p>\n Man runs away from the unknown. And this \u201cfamiliar\u201d is often not real, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PROMISE OF SECURITY AND OBEDIENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n The second stage that comes into play after fear has been generated is the promise of security.<\/p>\n Because a society that is feared also wants to be protected. The demand for freedom is withdrawn, This is a critical break.<\/p>\n Because the individual who wants security starts to accept that:<\/p>\n - To question less, And at this point the past is not just a longing; \u201cThat's the way it used to be\u201d, THE LANGUAGE OF THE PAST EMOTION REPLACES REASON<\/strong><\/p>\n The most dangerous aspect of this process is this:<\/p>\n Political language based on the past is not rational but emotional.<\/p>\n Because:<\/p>\n - Fear narrows the mind, So society gradually comes to this point:<\/p>\n - He defends instead of criticizing, And finally this sentence settles in: This sentence is not an identity; THE MOST DANGEROUS TRANSFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n The most critical consequence of the past becoming a political tool is this:<\/p>\n Society no longer just misses the past. I mean:<\/p>\n - It does not question the hierarchy, At this point, it is no longer a question of going back to the past.<\/p>\n The mind has already turned.<\/p>\n FROM ESCAPING THE PAST TO OBEDIENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n The picture at the end of this whole process is clear:<\/p>\n Escape to the past \u2192 Generates despair And so on:<\/p>\n The past becomes not just a longing; it becomes a form of governance.<\/p>\n In short: When a society is constantly talking about the past, there is not just nostalgia.<\/p>\n There he is:<\/p>\n - A suppressed future, The real question now is:<\/p>\n Do people really want to go back to the past, or are they giving up on building the future?<\/p>\n It will continue...<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do people really want to go back to the past, or are they giving up on building the future?<\/p>","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":284465,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[286],"tags":[289],"class_list":{"0":"post-284464","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-yazarlar","8":"tag-manset"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284464"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":284466,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284464\/revisions\/284466"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nBecause hope moves people to action.<\/p>\n
\nA person who hopes:<\/p>\n
\n- Demands,
\n- He wants change.<\/p>\n
\n- It adapts,
\n- And it gets quieter and quieter.<\/p>\n
\nIt is a control mechanism.<\/p>\n
\n- Its discussion is limited,
\n- And it is easily mobilized through emotions.<\/p>\n
\n- This age is idealized,
\n- And today's problems are described as the loss of this ideal.<\/p>\n
\n- \u201cWe were once fair.\u201d
\n- \u201cWe were big once.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe have to go back to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n- It's vague,
\n- It's dangerous,
\n- And it is presented as uncontrollable.<\/p>\n
\n- Chaos,
\n- Corruption,
\n- And it is framed as a threat.<\/p>\n
\nOr \u201cthe safe past as you know it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIt gravitates towards what it recognizes.<\/p>\n
\nbuilt in the past.<\/p>\n
\nAnd here a critical shift takes place:<\/p>\n
\nthe demand for security comes to the fore.<\/p>\n
\n- More obedience,
\n- A stronger authority.<\/p>\n
\nbecomes a source of legitimacy for obedience.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt becomes \u201dthis is how it should be now\".<\/p>\n
\n- Nostalgia weakens criticism,
\n- And the need for security suppresses questioning.<\/p>\n
\n- He believes instead of questioning,
\n- He repeats instead of thinking.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThat's the way we are.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nis a sentence of surrender.<\/p>\n
\nHe starts to think like the past.<\/p>\n
\n- It takes authority for granted,
\n- It sees change as a threat.<\/p>\n
\nDespair \u2192 Generates fear
\nFear \u2192 The search for safety breeds
\nSeeking safety \u2192 Normalizes obedience<\/p>\n
\n- A managed fear,
\n- And there is organized obedience.<\/p>\n
