The Time of the Underground Man is Over - About Alvydas Jokubaitis' Book "Political Idiot"

 



These brief notes are sketched after reading Alvydas Jokubaitis book "The Political Idiot".

The concept of the Dostoevsky underground man is a very relevant concept because highlights a rebellious man. And today we see how globalist forces have actually tried and are trying to push rebellious humanity into the underground. In fact, the rebellious man had no choice but to retreat to the underground to defend his values ​​in recent years.

As Jokubaitys argues: "The term underground man is a description of a person who has deliberately withdrawn from society and he opposes society. The underground man criticizes the efforts of modern politicians and political theorists to create a science-based society" (A. Jokubaitys Political Idiot. P. 64) ... "because he does not accept that who leads the society make him happy according to their conception of happiness." (Ibid. P. 65).

The underground man defends his inalienable right to truth, freedom, and happiness based on respect and love for the other, in which the same divine origin is recognized.

Our rebellious underground man, the 2021/2022 underground man, finally gets out of the underground, goes out in the sunlight and seeks freedom and wants to show that the situation is as absurd as ever in his homeland; he takes to the streets, protests and rebels; new associations are born, new political gatherings, new information; governments and politicians are accused of serving only the world's financial forces and deceiving their nations; freedom Convoy arrives ...

He is a different man, the underground man of 2022, he is no longer the one theorized by Alvydas Jokubaitis in his very interesting book. It is a liberated, awakened man who has realized his strength and resistance in the underground before coming to the light in his final resurrection...


Alvyda Jokubaitis philosopher and political scientist. Surely one of the most brilliant minds of Lithuania. He is Head of the Department of Political Philosophy and History of Ideas at the University of Vilnius.
We developed the above notes by reading his book "Politinis Idiotas", so far available only in Lithuanian, published in 2019, by Tyto alba.

Poetry dwells near the divine light's breath

  The comparison between poetry and divine light that we have proposed HERE finds its perfect explanation in Saint Paul, Epistle to the Romans 1:19: τ ὸ γνωστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ φανερόν ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὁ θεὸς γὰρ αὐτοῖς ἐφανέρωσεν — “that which may be known of God has been made manifest in them (in men), for God has manifested it unto them”. Poetry unveils within the human being the need to be human, that is, the need for Beauty, the need to feel Beauty within oneself and alongside oneself; and this feeling is sustained by divine light. Since we are influenced by the Augustinian idea of saeculum , we hold that poetry belongs to the saeculum and therefore comes to a halt upon the threshold of divine light [I] without crossing it, though perceiving the light that lies beyond that threshold. We are led to that threshold by the human feeling of Beauty that dwells within us and guides us to that point: to that door which cannot be crossed in our human condition. And yet, the mere act of stan...

Similarities between Lithuanian, Sanskrit and Ancient Greek: the sigmatic future

by Fabrizio Ulivieri Lithuanian is the most archaic among all the Indo-European languages spoken today, and as a result it is very useful, indeed, indispensable in the study of Indo-European linguistics. The most important fact is that Lithuanian is not only very archaic, but still very much alive, i. e., it is spoken by about three and a half million people. It has a rich tradition in folklore, in literature, and it is used very successfully in all walks of modern life, including the most advanced scientific research. Forced by our interest for this piece of living archaism, we go deeper in our linguistic survey. One of the most noticeable similarities is the future (- sigmatic future -). Lithuanian has preserved a future tense from prehistoric times: it has one single form, e.g. kalbė-siu 'I will speak', etc. kalbė-si kalbė-s kalbė-sime kalbė-site kalbė-s This form kalbėsiu is made from the stem kalbė-(ti) 'to speak', plus the ancient stem-end...

L'ombra del dharma

  Può qualcuno nascondere la verità per tutta la sua vita  e ingannare sé e tutti gli altri?  Vi sono demoni nell'uomo, che vengono di lontano  - per linee di sangue e generazioni che,  se li ascolti, si fanno tuo dharma Se cerco di spiegare quello che eri Devo l' oltre e il prima guardare Dove cause ignote e foschi criteri Erano il karma del tuo andare. Di lí andavi larvato di nulla E mai il volto sincero mostravi. Di silenzio vivevi in una bolla Eppure libero a me sembravi. In pubblico e privato ti scindevi E disprezzavi me a te non pari Ma santo mi apparivi e tu sapevi. Del tuo dharma che adesso appari Eri schiavo - di quel lontano demone Tara remota e senza memoria Che nel sangue ti seguiva epigone E segnava immemore tua la storia.
