JINGOISM (ii)

*******************************

Divided by clannish warlords of Chinese (Mamigonian), Jewish (Bagratuni) and Assyrian (Ardzruni) descent, defeated and oppressed by nations whom we view as our inferiors, subservient to Turks for six hundred years, massacred, dispersed to the four corners of the world, ours cannot be said to be the past of a proud and great nation. But the worst of it is that, to cover up this fact we have invented a series of big lies and myths which few of us dare to question – myths such as first nation to accept Christianity, the hypocrisy of the West (as if we ourselves were models of straight talk), and the savagery of the Turks (as if savagery were an invention or monopoly of the Turks)….

To those who say, if we have survived, we must be doing something right, I say: why not ask instead: if we have a high mortality rate we must be doing something wrong?

I am saying these things to drive home the fact that we cannot solve our problems by singing patriotic songs and recycling chauvinist crap, or, for that matter, organizing banquets and delivering speeches. To do these things is simply to add hypocrisy and fear of reality to our previous list of vices.
