Kolobaracism — a new pseudo-ideology of our time 🌀
It is when people both collaborate with the enemy and divide the world into “us/them” based on completely absurd criteria. The result is a mix of toxic opportunism and discrimination.
📌 Key traits of kolobaracism:
Flexible morality — today I serve one side, tomorrow another, as long as it’s profitable.
Double standards — everything is allowed for “ours,” nothing for “the others.”
Mimicry — adapting to any power or trend.
Pretentious pathos — pretending to fight for “truth,” while in reality only seeking personal gain.
🕯 Why is this harmful?
Kolobaracism eats society from within. It replaces true values with cheap benefits, destroys trust among people, and weakens society in the face of external threats. It is a disease that always works against those who try to live honestly.
🇺🇦 Example of Ukraine
We see this clearly in our own experience. Collaborators in temporarily occupied territories justify themselves by saying “it’s safer,” “it’s easier,” “it’s more convenient.” But in reality, this is classic kolobaracism: serving a foreign power under the cover of “caring for the people.” The consequences are obvious: betrayal of the state, repression against their own neighbors, division in communities, and ultimately — tragedies that will take a long time to heal.
📖 Historical parallels
We have seen similar things in the past.
World War II: collaborators in occupied countries justified cooperation with the Nazis as “a way to survive.” But later they were regarded as traitors, forever rejected by their societies.
The USSR: mass denunciations, “serving the Party” even when it went against one’s own family. This was also a form of kolobaracism — adapting to an absurd ideology out of fear or for personal gain.
⚡️ What does this lead to?
Trust in society is destroyed.
Fear grows, because no one knows who will “switch sides” tomorrow.
Unity is lost, without which freedom cannot be defended.
Kolobaracism always makes the state weaker and the enemy stronger.
🌀 Conclusion
Kolobaracism is not just “adaptation.” It is a form of betrayal disguised with pretty words. In any country and in any era, it ends the same way — broken lives, a divided society, and a lost future.
