Protest style as a social technology for manipulative management of the mass consciousness of modern youth

This article is devoted to understanding the features of manipulative influence on modern youth by various subjects of social life, testing the most diverse range of political, socio-psychological and social technologies on it. Various subjects of social manipulation (individuals, their groups in the form of anti-systems, oligarchic structures, political parties and movements, as well as public associations and NGOs, totalitarian religious sects and destructive cults, special services of foreign states and international organizations) for centuries perceived young people as a resource to achieve their selfish political goals.

The result of this kind of manipulative influence was various kinds of “youth riots”, “youth”, “sexual”, “subcultural”, “countercultural”, “velvet”, “color” revolutions and coups d’état.

To successfully launch the mechanism of social manipulation of youth by the manipulators of the original, a kind of “cult of youth” was created (“spiritual pedocracy” — in the terminology of S.N. Syromyatnikov and S.N. Bulgakov). Then, they instilled in young people a protest style of behavior, using this technology to direct the energy of young people against the systems of traditional spiritual and moral values, traditional religious, social, political systems, traditional institutions of socialization and relations, thereby causing irreparable harm to the process of spiritual and social development of young people.
