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As Jokubaitys argues: "The term underground man is a description of a person who has deliberately withdrawn from society and he opposes society.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 proposed HERE finds its perfect explanation in Saint Paul, Letters to the Romans I,19: τὸ γνωστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ φανερόν ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὁ ⸂θεὸς γὰρ αὐτοῖς ἐφανέρωσεν , what can be known of God was manifested to them (in men), indeed God manifested to them. Poetry unveils in the human being the need to be human, i.e.the need for Beauty, for feeling the Beauty in itself and with itself, and this feeling is supported by the divine light. As we are influenced by the idea of Saint Augustine of saeculum , we maintain that poetry belongs to the saeculum and therefore stops on the threshold of the divine light [ I] without crossing that threshold, but it senses the light beyond that threshold. We are taken to that threshold by the human feeling of Beauty within us that leads us up to there: up to that door that it is not possible to cross in our being human, but nevertheless, the very dwelling on that threshold is illuminated by the ve...

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...

My world before and after the so-called Pandemic

  Prior to the so-called pandemic, the world was different. I was different.  One of my greatest moments of pleasure was visiting unknown cities, lost in the unknown, following an unknown flux of life surrounded by unknown streets and people.  I felt invisible. No one knew me, and I knew no one. That gave me a strong sense of pleasure. The pleasure of doing things you usually avoid in places where everyday life, routine, and the fear of showing yourself in a way people are not accustomed to expecting from you. I am not sure what I was looking for in doing this. I remember I felt pushed to search for the essence of that world, as I could physically taste that essence. I was looking for an aura of mystery which could rescue me from my nothingness (I called it nothingness, but now I should call it stupidity—because now I realize what an idiot I was). I hoped for goodness from the world, I hoped for a magic of life, I hoped for an encounter which would be my Saviour, the Savi...
