Не успел наступить 2026, как главным символом года стала не лошадь, а пингвин-нигилист из документального фильма Вернера Херцога - "Встречи на краю света" (2007). В том самом вирусном моменте, который сейчас воспроизводится в мириадах видео по всему интернету, пингвин отринул всё присущее ему пингвинье сознание и стремительно направляется своей милой походкой в сторону гор. Несмотря на то, что там ему грозила неминуемая смерть от голода в 2006 году (когда скорее всего и проводились съёмки), в 2026 для людей этот бегущий по лезвию льда пингвин стал символом свободы и истинного пути. Ну и что не менее приятно, вместе с этим отрывком очень красиво разошлась мурашечная версия песни l'amour toujours. Орган словно обрамляет в этой пингвиньей фигуре одновременно величие мирового порядка и крошечную судьбу каждого живого существа в нем 😇

For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order. We joined its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that, we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection.
We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.
This fiction was useful, and American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.
So, we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals, and we
largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.
This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.
