      So why do we need democracy, which does not exist? After all, there really isn’t. It just sounds like fashion. It is fashionable to say so, pretend to adapt to the world information, and hence culture. Talking about democracy to a Kazakh means showing that you know world affairs. You are so aware that you are such an honorable person. It is a show-off, as the Kazakhs themselves say about it. At the ceremonies, no one talks about democracy because of the senselessness of showing off in the wrong place. You can show off clothes, an expensive car, and verbal symbols that do not require sounds or words, and everyone immediately understands why this Kazakh came. Of course, he will also listen to old people and recognize relatives, and he can’t get away from relatives anywhere. Therefore, no new or old ideology will be able to do anything with the tribal world; it is so strong and cohesive. And the people will inevitably go back, begin to degrade, and get rid of civilization, although even at this time, there will be attempts to show that you are higher than others. I once said that the Russian language is an attempt by Kazakhs to show their independence from their kind, where all the roles are already painted, and everyone knows who will do what, including who will come to the funeral and what will tell. Of course, the Russian-speaking Kazakh does not think about it at all. But he knows that with Russian (today with English and Spanish), he can show his level and raise his status. The tribal elite has always been the fastest to adopt the culture, hence the speech of the colonizers. Russian Russians also spoke French until the Russian Revolution and the British Celts quickly Romanized. Hence, the Indian elite spoke Spanish, English, and French, so even the Russian nobles spoke French until the Russian Revolution. If the peasants could speak the language of a people they had not even seen, they would not speak. But Kazakhs began to speak Russian; first, the generic outcasts could not roam with the family. They didn’t even have a horse. But they quickly compensated for their shortcomings by learning Russian in the city.

      The Modern Warrior

      Among those who found themselves outside the circle of the chosen Zerots (feudal elite), among even the so-called middle stratum and just ordinary people, we know there were the real outcasts. But it is not given to be brave warriors, and not everyone is lucky to appear in a family of feudal authority. Even in the family of noble feudal lords, incidents can happen. For example, the story of Gautama Buddha happened. From this, the Buddha was even an outcast for a while.

      On the contrary, he became a prophet for the whole of Southeast Asia. Not everything is given to turn into a Buddha. But among those who were outside the circle of traditional people, there were people very similar to the Buddha or potential Buddhas. This is not a mockery! All the outcasts of the traditional world who found themselves outside the circle of prestige are very similar; on the periphery, all the Mangurts seem to be the same person. I didn’t misspeak. Mangurts and renegades, losers, and rootless people could be very interesting people from the position of self-reflection. We know that the Zerefs have no reflection. It is almost zero, hence the naming under the status of Zeref. Zeref – reflection means zero. Or almost zero. The Zerefs live in this world to perform rituals to preserve traditions, continue the ancestors’ work, and produce heirs. And, of course, to multiply the glory – your glory and the glory of your tribe. When we talk about the Zerefs, the main thing for the tradition is the physical multitude of people who make up the traditional people. The more people, the more people, men and women, have fulfilled their duty. They gave birth to children and brought them up so that they, in turn, did the same thing – gave birth to children. Nothing else is needed. Everything that goes beyond the circle of the rite and, consequently, beyond the circle of the chosen people, the elite, is the real mangurtism. Mangurt is a person who not only does not know his name – this is in a narrow sense but is someone who does not want to live in the old way.
