The patriotism of the out-of-the-way backbone of the man who said it. A bogeyman? From the history of the aphorism

Patriotism is the last lodge of non-idols. Samuel Johnson formulated the price in the seventeenth century, in England. The third word was often quoted. Mark Twain - in America, Flaubert - in France, Leo Tolstoy - in Russia ...

"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."
http://www.samueljohnson.com/patrioti.html

Who is filthy in love to Batkivshchyna (patriotism (in Greek. Patriōtés - spivvitchiznik, patrís - Batkivshchyna), love to Batkivshchyna)? for whom is love not safe? Why is it that people who are tenacious in Russia, who are not mentioned tribal patriots of Israel so often and are happy to greet them?
Tsi people will start to look behind, be it a witness, after a yak, a ludin will fix ops to humiliation, break up, re-create his land, Batkivshchyna, into a smitnik. Tsikavo, but not every patriotism is so bad. For example, the Jewish, Chechen, Albanian and even a number of patriotisms to complete the garnie and, moreover, to get rid of the hunters and wag on the side of all progressive people. Beginning with an ogidny tse, zvychayno, rosіyska, for the needs of the demand fought mercilessly.
Crazy, richly, I call myself patriots, do not accept the understanding of the patriot, but through them I love you to Batkivshchyna ...?!
..............
Mayzhe two ten years, fixing Gorbachov's "catastrophe", the liberal press, the liberal politicians kept repeating like a spell, like a virok: "Patriotism is the last lane of the negatives." The first phrase was interpreted unambiguously: patriot and non-connoisseur are the same and the same. Moreover, it’s not patriotic vzagal, but patriotic Russian or Russian. The patriotism of the Americans, who doesn’t feel like they’ve got to the bottom of the list, can’t see it: it smells so much to love vivishuvati from the windows of their buddies and apartments. Chee is not a beneficiary of our liberal patriotism of the English, Poles, Latvians and Swedes.

Ale our patriotism is dragging and dropping.

A copy of this phrase was attributed to L. Tolstoy, who is the author of "Sevastopol Reports" and "Viyni and the World" slept and bachiv, as bi-related patriots and non-citizens. Poten - to S. Johnson, English critic, lexicographers, essays and poets, who is alive in the XVIII century. Ale S. Johnson did not write the whole phrase. Vaughn is taken from the book of the yogi biographer.
In English, sound like this: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". Johnson is famous for its pre-existing and paradoxes. The sense of the phrase, put forward by the biographer, is absolutely insignificant. Well, for the sake of truth, thinking about patriotism and patriotic miraculous English?

Even in fate, wake up, since the phrase has become actively killed in our heads, I have nourished the knowledgeable English, who have a true sense. The Moscow correspondent of one London newspaper rose, having explained:

The call is not what you attribute to Johnson. Win same sklav pershy "Dictionnaire English movi"Tobto shattered those who V. Dal was beating in Russia in the 19th century. Mig your Dal be a hater of patriots? Zrozumilo, middle patriots є non-patriots, demagogues, near and ugly people, who are foul on something. this is everywhere - the middle of the various, middle of the atheist, the middle of the political party, the middle of the ministries and the visit of the priests.

So the axis, - prodovzhuvav the knowledgeable correspondent, - sense of the phrase: not everything was lost to find the most lost people, as if in his soul he could feel the Batkivshchyna, in the last hope and peace of mind.

Before speech, English word refuge (pritulok) there is a number of messages, which disappear when shifted. Tse is not just a lane, but a pryatunok, ryativne a lane.

Ale the bestiality to pershoderel. S. Johnson wrote

It is necessary to reconcile all, hto have the right to vote in the whole national negotiation: only Patriot last month in parliament. Nichto did not steal our rights, nikhto didn’t deserve our trust.

The patriot of the one whose enormous activity is not a single motive - love to his land, the one who represents us in parliament, fiercely skinny with not special motives and warfare, not special kindness, but in an image, but ".

Johnson, yak bachite, not only without putting a sign of equanimity between patriot and non-connoisseur, but the very word "Patriot" was scribbly writing from the great letter.

Moreover, having kept the vibrations: beware of those who are not the good power of the land, but the good of their evil ideas. ” viborts_v ob'єdnatisya navkolo Patriot_v.

Chim is not a memory for any vibors in Russia!

Academician A. Guber, vidomy master, who took a schoolboy from his son (tse bulo in 50 rocky), marveled at how authorize Dostoevsky, Fet and Tyutchev, rose and I viguknuv: " Why are they just bad nippy liberals, rivnyayuchi patriot with a friend, history of Russia to the lantsyug nissenitnits, maladies and misfortunes? And the Russian people - to the dark, faceless and untalented masi? I fools, it seems, are the liberals of the vistachs, but not the smut. For the sake of emotsii and images on the people, who did not accept them. I don’t want to appear, Russian, but this land has fallen apart into 12-15 parts. Don't vote like that (pam'yataєte, "Rossiya, ty zdurila"). Om give it to the people. For the cym, the essence is practical - dishonest! - tsіlі.

Our liberals know very well, and aloof - in civilized lands, praying for the stench, living and doing the same according to Johnson. Chi is not spontaneous, but fair.

Inodi is amazed, how quickly react to the news of the day of the news of the Vikipedia. Literally in advance, Putin stating about those who are є the national idea in Russia, as well as on the side in Vik, according to the understanding of "patriotism" (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriotism) came to the offensive:

"The head of state is the President of Russia V.V. Putin on the 3rd of February 2016, at events with enterprises, which enter the Leaders' Club, meaning:
"We have a lot of niyakoi and we can't have any kind of іnshoi ob'ednavchoi іdea, krim patriotism"

“At the new hour, Leo Tolstoy, having respected patriotism, was considered“ rude, shkidlivy, humble and disgusting, and smut - immoral. ” as for the working representatives of these peoples: for all their life they did not feel the representatives of the people of some schiry virazs for patriotism, ale navpaki, who developed a lot of feelings for anger and contempt to patriotism.

Tell people that it’s disgusting, they laugh at the stench: who don’t know? Say, patriotism is rotten, and for most people to wait a little longer, just with a little dressing. -So, rotten patriotism is rotten, ale є іnshy patriotism, the one that is like mi trimamosya. - And why is it good patriotism, I won't explain. It’s a good patriotism of the Pole in that it’s not a good patriotism, because it seems a lot, then any patriotism, if it’s not a conqueror, then it’s not unmistakably restraining, so that people want to wipe out the ones that I’ve gotten won’t won’t be won over, so it is not possible to conquer the conquests, but to utrimate the conquests, as only those who can be conquered, so that by violence, by driving. Even though patriotism is not restraining, it is the new patriotism of the old-rooted, attuned peoples-warmen, Poles, Czechs, Irish and so on. Say: "Patriotism has tied people into a state and adopted a single state." Along with that, people were already in the state, on the right they were seen; Now, now, let’s take the vinyatkov to declare people to their own state, if the evidence is terrible for all powers and peoples. Adzhe of that same patriotism, which, having managed to unite people in the state, now ruin tsi of the state itself. Even though patriotism is only one: patriotism of some Englishmen, then it is possible to respect the common one, but if, now, it’s patrioticism: American, French, German, one, one not z'єdnuє, but roseєdnuє.

L. Tolstoy. Patriotism chi Svit?

One of Tolstoy's favorites is the aphorism of Samuel Johnson: "Patriotism is the end of a negidnik."

At my glance, patriotism is a class understanding. Basically, the vocabulary gives the following meaning: "Patriotism is the gift and love to one's Fatherland, to one's own people." I have, for example, patriotism before my life, in which I am viris - the SRSR, to the people of Radians, who opened the world of robots and villagers into the light of the world, who built cities, went into space, and made the like. In the oligarchic harmony, patriotism is the testimony of his own fatherland - bourgeois Russia, as he verbally voices the rich rights of the people, and on the other hand, the camp is ruined. For such "patriotism" the blink of an eye in Russia will drag on more and more. Milliardi of our rubles for the promotion of such "patriotism" will be sent to Syria this year, and it’s a day for the people to ask for pennies for the help of that little child and to speed people to robots through the marriage of pennies. To that vlada pidsovuє in a beautiful obgorttsi understand, yak, yak, like, befitting the Russians, but in reality, having flared the obgortku, people consume the knowledge in evil. Kindly, if such "patriots" do not untie a new svitovu biynyu, for sure all n ... ts, for good and having passed over LN Tolstoy.

The English writer Clay Staples Lewis wrote in 1960 about the "ambivalence of patriotism" and the vision of the 4th type:
1. Love home; to old friends, to familiar persons, to familiar sights, smells and sounds.
2. Especially staged to the last country.
3. Rough faith in those who have their own land or their own people are more beautiful than all.
4. Own nationality is more beautiful for everything, just goiter is bound to manage everything.

Remaining two points (3 and 4) transform patriotism into Nazism. Chi won't think about it for an hour?

Boswell talks about the aphorisms in the offensive fragment:

Patriotism has become one of the out-of-the-way mottos in our weddings, and Johnson said unsupportedly, in a strong and laughable tone, an aphorism that would be pounced on for something: “patriotism is the last lane of the negidnik”. But I do not mind that I am not in respect of real and generous love to our land, and I am in love with that patriotism, which is so abundant, in both times and in all countries, they were robbed of special interests.

Johnson, talking about the British, who had killed the evil and how to avoid the prison liaison (or see shibenitsy), vikoristovuvuyutsya "patriotic" act. Acting on a new one allowed "non-personal" to reject mercy and return to the British colonies.

The value of patriotism in Johnson's Dictionary

The first has seen his own vocabulary of the English language (eng. A Dictionary of the English Language ) (1755) Johnson marked the word "patriot" with the offensive rank: "the one who has a passionate passion є love to his country." However, some of the terms are actively victorious in the Whig dismissal in political polemics and for the powerful position, in the fourth type (one thousand seven hundred and seventy chotiri) Johnson defied the attacker:

Ese "Patriot"

Rіvno for rіk before, like Johnson imoving the aphorism of celebrations, before the parliamentary vibors, 1774 wines published it under the title: "Patriot. Vicious to the vibrations of Great Britain. " Yes, it was a pamphlet on the Zahist there were those who were in charge of the agitation of the news.

Slid to mean the political life of England in the 1770s. fought in the fight, were identified in the odds of the victories, who were glorified by such great political acts and misters, like William Pitt the Elder, Edmund Burke, Charles James Fox and John Vilks, against a series of torrents on the cholomort of Friedrich Vigi positioned themselves like the owners of huge freedoms and purity of Protestantism, invoking their opponents in absolutist nominations and "papist" attitudes, the stench stood for expansiveness call the policy(Zokrem, for the war against the weak of Spain, with the name of visiting her colonies and expanding the powers in India), but at the same time they sympathized with the democratic ruk in British America (as the authorities showed the "natural struggle for civil rights" Tse gave them to call themselves "patriots", vistavlyayuyu their opponents as antinational, authoritarian-tyrannical and pro-colossal force. So, in their own way, they got involved in demagoguery and cheap populism, as well as moral promises. Dr. Johnson himself, behind his political likenesses, was half-hearted and hated by the people, who declared (in the name of others a "rebellious" spirit) that he was "the first in the world of the Devil".

It means that Dr. Johnson's capture by Dr. Johnson of politics in the North and court led England to such a political catastrophe, as provoked by them and the program American War of 1775-1783 rr.

Oskilki "patriotism" became the main extinguishing of the Whig disagreement, when Dr. Johnson was assigned the Vicrit of "gracious patriotism", as a manifestation of political demagogy, in opposition to the patriotism of the true.

I still have to start from firmness, but the place in parliament can only take care of only reference patrons, and a small one, then the ideal image of a politician: I don’t have any special hopes, no fear, no good-naturedness, no images, I am not directing my attention to foreign interest ”. Dal, Johnson retained against "gracious patriotic signs" of patriotism; For all the guilt, Persh will keep the contradictions that patriotism is obov'yazkovo polyagaє in the "sharp and easy-going objectionable yard". “Patriotism is not necessarily a transmission” is stabbed; people can hate their king, but not love their land, ”- write Johnson. Win vkazu that it’s not easy for politics to go into disarray because of the incessant self-esteem and ambition, or the elementary “hope to make it to the riches” (it’s better to put it all, you are too big, don’t take the stench).

Images of the Whig "patriots" in the satire of Johnson

From an illustration to Johnson's aphorism, one can serve a zhorystka satire on the Whig ‘patriots’, as well as take part in the comedy by Henry Filding “The Historical Calendar for 1736 Rik” (b.; to myself an internal party opposition to the opposition of the uryadovy faction of "politicians", the "courtiers"). The comedy of Filding has viveden images of chotirokh "patriotiv". There is one of them - “patriot-basic. Vin n'є for his land and shouting about her, ale, don't hurt her. ” Inshiy - "self-deprecating patriot." Win viklad's own creed in the following rank:

My shop is my vichizna. About the success of the other, I judge for the camp in the first place. (...) I can't wait with you, sir, nibi vіyna would give us a shkodi. Navpaki, I am engaging in my mind the prosperity of my father. I trade in templates, and in order to preserve my good barisha. That I am for guilt!

There are two more types - "guardian patriot" and "baiduzhiy patriot" - to ensure combat and conformism.

I dare say that all four of them are willing to sell themselves to the transitional "skripalev" (prime minister) and take a dance for the violin.

"Antipatriotic" to the aphorism

100 rock by volume by Johnson, the American writer Ambrose Gwinnette Birs coped with the aphorism:

In the famous vocabulary of Dr. Johnson, patriotism is known as the last lodge of non-idols. We take on ourselves the smilism of naming the lane first.

The aphorism is often quoted in the Mistress. For example, in Bob Dilan's song "Sweetheart Like You" (1983 ric):

It seems that patriotism is an outcast,
For the yake, there is a ne_dnik.
Stole a little bit, throw the stench to you to the vyaznitsa,
You will steal a lot, and the stench will destroy you as a king.

"Patriotic" to the aphorism

In this day in Russia, the same aphorism is being developed: "not everything is lost to find a way for the most bitter man, as in a new life there is a respect for patriotism, forgiving that there can be good help for the noble family." The same toughness was given to the ear of zero rock in the articles of Mykoly Ufimov ("About patriots, non-monarchs and fathers"; "Fathers: patriots and non-citizens"). The statistics of the companies have their own smudges as they are nibito vidbivaє author's ideas, however, without any other obruntuvan, except for the positivity of Johnson to patriotism in the countryside. In the recent articles of the Firms of Stverdzhu, which is not a matter of fact, having told them that there are no names of English knowledge.

sich. 22 2009 11:53 am Patriotism is the backbone of the non-contender. Copyright?

The coils of this viraza can be found in Aristotle. At the 3rd knizi "Nikomakhova Etitsi. Politics" vіn wrote: "Chesnot good people and not one big guy, but not the same one. " English translation closer: "It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen."

The authorship of the phrase "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" is due to Semuel Johnson, however, it is not from his robot, but from his biography, written by James Bossuel. Bossuel does not bring the context, in which the phrase Bula was said by Johnson, ale tlumachit її, which is just about fake patriotism. Record from 7 April 1775 part 615:
..Patriotism having become one of our topicks, Johnson suddenly uttered, in a strong determined tone, an apophthegm, at which many will start: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". But let it be considered that he did not mean a real and generous love of our country, but that pretended patriotism which so many, in all ages and countries, have made a cloak of self-interest.

However, ascribing a virality to some authors, it’s not wonderful, it’s not a great pity, but everybody from the people who were overwhelmed at the same time wrote phrases with a similar snake, as it’s possible to change the same way to Russian language.

Oscar Wilde, attributed to the phrase is even similar to the serpent: "Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious". "Ascribed to", to that, it’s very unattainable, but in one of those published, Wilde’s robotic isn’t. Vislovlyuyutsya naіvіt pripuschennya, but tse - just a paraphrase of Johnson's vyslovlyuvannya.
***
Quite a phrase in the robots of Leo Tolstoy, I didn’t know, but in my articles, I’m negatively informed about patriotism in any form. For example, in the article "Christianity and patriotism" he wrote:
"The patriotism of the simplest, clear and insanely meaningful is not so much for the rulers, as it is for the achievement of the rulers and for the cynical purposes, and for the kerovans it is for the humanity, Rozum, sovіstі and slavske pіdporodkuvannya to myself, hto with vlі. Thus, it is guided and propagated everywhere, and patriotism is promoted. Patriotism є slavery. "
***
Albert Einstein wrote: "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once.Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. "
***
Bernard Shaw wrote: "Patriotism is, fundamentally, a conviction that a particular country is the best in the world because you were born in it. You" ll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. "
***
Mark Twain found the phrase: "The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice - and always has been."
Win also wrote: "There are two kinds of patriotism - monarchical patriotism and republican patriotism. In the one case the government and the king may rightfully furnish you their notions of patriotism; in the other, neither the government nor the entire nation is privileged to dictate to any individual what the form of his patriotism shall be. The gospel of the monarchical patriotism is: "The King can do no wrong." We have adopted it with all its servility, with an unimportant change in the wording: "Our country , right or wrong! "We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had: - the individual" s right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism. "
In the іnshomu місці він writing: "To be a patriot, one had to say, and keep on saying," Our Country, right or wrong, "and urge on the little war. Have you not perceived that that phrase is an insult to the nation? "
***
Bertrand Russell: "Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons."
***
With more fresh butts:
George Santayana: "To me, it seems a dreadful indignity to have a soul controlled by geography."

Terri Pratchett, "Monstrous Regiment": "The pamphlet was very patriotic. That is, it talked about killing foreigners."
----------------------

No explanation needed.
Here the mova was only about the authorship of the whole and the similar ones, not about those, "that's patriotism."
Yak on me, saying more about the new one by the same Mark Twain:
Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
