Date of last update: 2020-06-07 19:45The one-year anniversary of the "anti-revision incident" detonated. It can be said that it is difficult to explain. Because the colorful and inclusive Hong Kong in the past was torn apart to only one color, only the next voice, and even only one value-the "political correctness" in the cloak of "democracy and freedom"; and as long as you don’t Marked himself as "Yellow Silk", did not go to the demonstration site to smoke tears, did not express "sympathy" and "understanding" to the violent impact, did not persevere to patronize the "Yellow Economic Circle", and did not shout "Five Major Requests" on social media , "Indispensable", "Recover Hong Kong, Revolution of the Times", "Black Police Die the Whole Family", "Lin Zhengluo Hell" and so on. You don’t seem to be the so-called "true Hong Kong people", so you are not qualified to say something. .
Some people will argue that no, Hong Kong has "blue" in addition to "yellow". This is the "political enemy dichotomy" since the beginning of the occupation operation in 2014, supporting the occupiers claiming to be "yellow silk" and supporting police law enforcement is called "blue silk"; unfortunately, after the 79-day occupation operation, after a short period of time After five years of rest and recuperation, we ushered in the "anti-repair law storm" that tossed Hong Kong all over. Even worse, the scar that tore the group with "color politics" not only did not heal, it even became inflamed and purulent, causing the "political bacteria" to penetrate into the bone marrow. Many people used to "hate politics" in the past. Many people are keen to use color to politicize themselves, and even force others to make such political choices.
Correct. Judging from the end of last year, taking advantage of the "anti-revision laws" and instigating the electorate to choose the district board members who are engaged in people's livelihood services from a political standpoint, the pan-popular and institutional vote ratio was 58:42— If the two camps are distinguished by "yellow and blue", in addition to 60% of "yellow silk" in Hong Kong, 40% of "blue silk". However, no matter in the online or offline public opinion field, "yellow silk" is almost in power. Very few people will admit that they are "blue silk" in order to avoid being teased or contempt.

Because in the overwhelming publicity of "Yellow Silk", "Blue Silk" is depicted as having a slightly complicated problem that cannot be understood, no truth-seeking spirit, no empathy, no sense of justice, just looking at the surface, no sympathy, and pressing The ten waste traits of identity, selfishness, inferiority, and arrogance, and "Yellow Silk" are beautified as "heroes" who support democracy, longing for freedom, pursuing justice, discerning right from wrong, deliberate, and brave. Although "Blue Silk" also tried to portray "Yellow Silk" as "abolished youth" who was abetted, bought up, and incited, it has never been able to become a mainstream discourse, and even failed to wash its stereotyped image of being ugly. After all, apart from the discomfort in communication, I would like to ask, who dares to say that "value pursuit" is not a good thing?
"Yellow Blue" genetic similarity forces society to extremes
Interestingly, although "Yellow Blue" is very different in politics, the genes in the bones are very similar. They all touted "yellow and blue are political opinions, and black and white are conscience", but they all like to stand by right and wrong, thinking that they are justice itself, as long as "not my color, they must be bad people", they must curse bad words; they mouth Shouted "pursuit of the truth", but deliberately fabricated, passed on, and even entangled a lot of fake news used to fight the other party's camp, so until today, there are people who "believe" that young girls provide free sex services for the "Brave", and some people "Worshippers" who regularly go to the MTR Prince Edward Station are said to be killed by the police in the "831 Incident", but both have heard the same story without evidence; they claim to be "rational" but actually "help relatives. Reason”, the eyes will always only see the evil deeds of their homes and ignore their sins, so “Yellow Silk” can show the understanding and tolerance of radical demonstrators who wantonly destroy nuclear explosives. "Si" can also support or even praise the white people who indifferently attacked passers-by.
After fighting for a year, this boring and ignorant "yellow-blue confrontation" not only did not promote social justice and promote citizens' progress, but instead forced Hong Kong to go to extremes, filled with hatred and prejudice, flowing into blind movement and populism. People are not completely without doubt-how many times will "one country, two systems" die? Is the rule of law in Hong Kong dead? Which day is not the darkest day? Do you really want to "scramble"? Is there no problem with extreme violence? Who will pity those innocently affected? However, this sentence, which is clearly in the bottom of my heart but regarded by both parties as "politically incorrect", has become more and more "unable to say" and "not easy to say" from the initial "dare not to say" ; Then, everyone continued to warm up in the same stratosphere, fight with the enemy, and deceive themselves.

Falling into "group unconsciousness" and "nobleness" cannot cover irrationality
This phenomenon of "group polarization" resembles the "group unconsciousness" mentioned in the book "The Crowd" published by the French social psychologist Gustave Le Bon in 1895. He explained in the book that "individuals" are conscious, possess intellectual, logical, and reasoning abilities, can make rational decisions, and assume moral responsibility for this; however, this "consciousness" only occupies one part of the individual's brain A small part, so under normal circumstances, people are easily driven by emotions, instincts, and desires, and thus follow the feeling. The problem is that once the "individual" is put into the "group", not only will IQ be seriously reduced, he will even abandon the right and wrong of rational judgment in order to gain his own sense of security and group identity, and become Follow the trend; In addition, since "individuals" no longer need to bear independent responsibilities, they can vent their brutal nature in the name of "groups", so "groups" never pursue rationality, but blind obedience, paranoia, cruelty, and fanaticism. And the truth they long for is often not the "truth of things", but only the "truth that the group wants". As long as someone can satisfy everyone's illusions, they can become their leaders. As for the unreasonable reasons, usually Will be ignored.
"Individuals" gradually lost their "self", while "groups" appeared to be exclusive, extreme, emotional, and low-witted, and fell into "group unconsciousness" that could not distinguish right from wrong, and failed to judge the authenticity. The state has become the "Wuhezhong".
It is undeniable that the emergence of "Wuhezhong" can indeed promote social reform, but sometimes it will bring great disasters. Take the "September Massacre" in Paris in 1792 as an example. During the French Revolution, the radical "Jacobins" launched a riot on August 9 and deposed Paris Mayor Wernerf. King Louis XVI also wanted to Fleeing to the Legislative Assembly to seek asylum, disguised by the armed forces to dominate the French government, and quickly promoted democratic reforms such as popular elections, civilian armed forces, abolition of noble privileges, and auction of exile assets; the Prussian army then invaded France, when the French army left Paris to fight There was a widespread news that the anti-French alliance and the royalist party would attack Paris, and the latter planned to release the prisoners to strengthen the army. So the radicals immediately called on the masses to "pre-emptively" kill the prisoners and set off a five-day killing. As a result, at least 1,200 prisoners were executed, and many cities followed the massacre in Paris, with heavy casualties.
Le Pen said that those "unified people" were driven by patriotism, self-righteousness gave up reason, and wantonly killed prisoners. Ironically, they are not without "morality", for example, when executing noble prisoners, they can still adhere to the "Lady First" principle, giving the front seat of the viewing seat to the ladies, and also the property of the executed. The booth was opened on the table to show your integrity. However, no matter how "moral" there is, the "unconsciousness" and "irrationality" of the slaughter cannot be covered up.

I only dare to wake people who pretend to sleep with political opinions
After experiencing the "anti-revision law storm" and looking back at a scene more than two hundred years ago, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of time and space disorder. For example, on the evening of July 1, last year, after several shocks, radical demonstrators finally used iron branches to pry open the roller shutters and forcibly entered the Legislative Council building, wreaking havoc on various equipment of the Legislative Council, causing serious losses to the building and costing half a billion yuan for maintenance; After they smashed the glass of the Legislative Council Library with an iron cage car and spilled confidential documents in the archives room, someone posted a "Protect the book and cannot be destroyed" notice board, leaving the library generally intact; and when they overturned the Legislative Council restaurant After dropping the ingredients in the refrigerator and taking dozens of packs of drinks, and leaving hundreds of dollars, they left a message with a pen and paper saying "we are not thieves, we will not ask ourselves to pick up"-they use "to defend the rule of law" In the name of, but to attack the Legislative Council, which is responsible for making laws, it is already disgusting, and even more ridiculous, the democrats who have always stood in the moral highlands not only dare not criticize the violence of demonstrators, and even praise them for their "spontaneous" Protecting cultural relics in books."
That undoubtedly set a terrible precedent for the fierce impact standards. So much so that when the demonstrators escalated the violence later, they "renovated" the so-called "blue shops" and Chinese-funded shops all over the place, and there were successively stabbing congressmen, burning "blue silk", "private" dissidents, and obstructing the subway. When forced to strike, even throwing bricks in the conflict and causing the wounded death of the cleaners in the 70s, and other injustices that greatly surpassed the moral bottom line of the general Hong Kong people, the "Panmin Party" that once considered itself "harmful" For example, the Democratic Party and the Citizen Party are hiding behind the "politically correct" lie like a rat. They are willing to be led by radical forces and only shirk their responsibilities to the government, trying to use "no thugs, only tyranny." "It's you (the government) who taught me that peaceful demonstrations are useless" and other excuses to rationalize shock behavior; and most "helifei" dare not blame those extreme destructions, and even "guilt" violent elements, " "Thanks." They stood up and spoke out of anger for themselves, so they were happy to give back some spiritual support of "supporting speculation" and "letting go together" and continued to wave their flags and shout in front of the fluorescent screen.
The level of violence has reached new heights, and those young people who were originally determined to awaken the society have been pushed into the imagination and excitement created by the group, and they have become the most unwilling to be seen by everyone, even with the group. Deeply immersed in "group unconsciousness", waiting for the awakening of the brave kid in "The King's New Clothes". Unfortunately, no one has the kind of responsibility and courage, because no one wants to admit that "democracy is not necessarily a good thing", and no one wants to face "politically correct" is not always correct", or, pretend to sleep I don’t want to be awakened at all, but I am beautifully doing the big dreams of "Trump Saving Hong Kong" and "Community of Destiny between Hong Kong and Taiwan", which not only pushes Hong Kong into the "China-US Showdown", a situation that has not been seen in a century. Even happy to be a chess piece in the United States. The problem is that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, as the initiator of the "anti-revision incident", sees Hong Kong ill, is helpless from start to finish, and even the most basic establishment of an independent investigation committee has been too slow to make a decision.
So much so that when the violent shock severely hit Hong Kong’s tourism and consumer industries, the economy contracted by 2.9% year-on-year in the third quarter of last year, leading to a large number of low-skilled laborers engaged in retail, catering, hotel and other industries facing the risk of being fired, demonstrators Still dressed in a heroic suit, he shouted out loudly, "It's no big deal to speculate," "No money can be made again," but no one criticized them for ignoring the interests of others, and no one reminded them that they are pushing Hong Kong to the bottomless abyss. .
On the 22nd anniversary of Hong Kong’s return, demonstrators attacked the Legislative Council’s escalating actions, using tools such as iron branches and iron cages to break through the glass curtain door of the Legislative Council, break into and occupy the Legislative Council Building, and wreak havoc. The demonstrators entered the conference hall, sprayed the regional emblem on the chair's position black, and read out the "July 1 Declaration" spontaneously written by netizens.

"Group" can't get out of "political disease" How long will Hong Kong have to toss?
Although everyone said "freedom price is higher" and everyone wants to learn Tao Yuanming "not to bend down for five buckets of rice", however, a sudden outbreak of a new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic made everyone recognize that "life is more valuable" The reality of "Wu Doumi's waistline"-from the outbreak of the epidemic to the high incidence, the demonstrations subsided once, but the "unconscious" groups did not get out of the "political disease."
At the beginning of the anti-epidemic period, the newly established "Hospital Staff Front" of the "Anti-Amendment Law" initiated a five-day "medical strike" claiming that 9,000 people participated. This political hype required "full closure", but the actual only Targets mainlanders, not all immigrants. Later, "God of God" Xu Guanjie returned for a long time to hold free online concerts to cheer the people of Hong Kong, but also because the chief executive Lin Zhengyue spontaneously promoted it, and his brother Xu Guanwen's Guangdong CPPCC background, the new generation was buckled up with a "blue silk" hat He even criticized him as a "product of the previous generation", threatening that Hong Kong can no longer "abandon distinction and seek common ground."

As for the pan-democrats who have swept through more than 80% of the district parliamentary seats by the trend of "anti-revision", they also continue to use political leadership to continue to initiate boring and unauthorized motions in the district councils, such as requiring Lin Zhengyue to lead officials to visit Wuhan and request the Legislative Council The rejection of police funding, etc., completely deviated from the function of district board members to take care of people's livelihood issues; there were also district board members who posted a notice that "blue silk and dogs cannot enter" outside the joint office, openly distinguishing service groups by political spectrum, but using " The "Yellow Silk" who claimed to be "justice" remained silent. The Legislative Council’s “Inner Council Suspension Storm” was staged for nearly seven months, and the pan-democratic party headed by the Citizen Party Guo Rongkeng was allowed to “play the procedure” in the name of “protecting justice”, resulting in 14 bills and more than 80 subsidiary laws Failure to follow up, but did not "Huang Si" criticized its harm to others and in vain, and ultimately forced the Legislative Council Chairman Liang Junyan to "cut the cloth"; but when the review of the long-backed National Anthem Bill was resumed, the general The people are still intoxicated in "political performances" that far exceed the bottom line of civilization, such as throwing fertilizers, throwing odors, and spreading documents. This has indeed made Hong Kong taste the "members' decay" and "a decadence."
