Today, when I am typing on the keyboard, I look up and see the lanterns outside the window. When I sneeze and smell the scent of stew from someone, I know that my earth is safe and sound, even though I have never seen a real outside world. Star people, even a city manager can’t resist, but I think there is a part of my contribution to this, so when I watch "20th Century Boys", I am a big man, I will still be saved by the group of young people who saved the world. I was so moved that when I saw the group of childhood playmates in "Dead Light" reunited and finally got rid of the clown, I would still feel refreshed. I always believed in a strange way that aliens have been hitting the ghosts of the earth on our heads. The idea is that the world is always crumbling. The reason why it did not happen is that we have seen too many tigers like us back then, acting as the watchers of this planet. They live and live in the grass and on the road. On the side of the mound, on the roof of the shed, with his neck dripping and his nose, all with Liu Hulan's energy, holding hands, shoulder to shoulder, vowing to fight the invaders of the earth to the death.
Okay, now I think about the heroes of that year. Needless to say, I made almost all the combat plans back then. I was a knight-errant soldier. I couldn't find a job after graduating from a graduate school, and I stayed at home. Daewoo, the earliest, tallest, strongest, and most energetic buddy among our group of people back then, every time we had a meeting, we patrolled the surroundings and took part-time cleaning duties. I saw him a few years ago. He became the shortest among all people. I guess I didn’t have time to grow up later. I just became a policeman. Everyone said that I was scared and scared to earn these two kinds of money. Zhuozi, the most professional person to resist aliens. He collected almost all the information about aliens. He brought the Transformers we played. He didn't care if it broke. He steals the dormitory in high school. People’s Walkman was fired and later lost contact. Yanzi and Xiaoqi, a pair of live treasures, are inseparable. Back then, they made up a ballad about defending the earth. They spoke very well in one sentence, and they gradually lost contact. Once I saw two men on the bus with hooked shoulders. He was a little skeptical, not sure.
In "Watchmen" Silk said to Dan, I wanted you to come out and talk about things that make people happy. Silk paused and said, but there is nothing to be happy about recently... Dan said, how can I be happy? , Comedian is dead, the picture turns, Comedian’s funeral in the torrential rain, the melody of "The Voice of Loneliness" sounded at the right time, "hello darkness my old friend.i've come to talk with you again......" At this moment, Like what Mr. Guo said in the book, I felt my heart tightened, sliding down like a raindrop, and the unreliable past lapped over my mind. I almost shot my tears. I remembered what I mentioned above. A few people, thinking of these self-thinking superheroes, have long since become ordinary people who did nothing, and thinking of the comrades who used to fight together in the secret base, they have become passers-by who walked face to face and did not know each other, and remembered the world we once faced together. The invaders have turned into years and nothingness. I think that the resources we have been fighting for and grabbing all day are coming from the earth we once vowed to defend. I feel sad, but what makes me even more angry is that I didn’t bring it. Recalling those years with the slightest tenderness and dignity, all that can be done is to click and play back with a little bit of affection and temptation, half-concealed, contradictory, and even self-critical. Listened to it again.
Kurt Cobain said, I hate myself and I want to die. One of my classmates who worked in the government serving as the chief said that I criticize myself every day when I do every job. The heroic teenagers who protect the earth will always grow up. The first thing they understand when they grow up is that the terrible things are not the big devil and the aliens. The invaders of the earth are often not others, but we happen to be ourselves, in pain, struggling, we Walking towards the opposite shore in the broken youth, the enemy's appearance is reflected in the mirror. Economists say that apart from Yao Ming, no rich man in China has clean money. In fact, whether it is Yao Ming or Wang Shi, everything will be accomplished. , The survival of the fittest, the survival of the fittest, the withering foil lies under the feet of every thriving creature, human nature has always been proud of possessing more scarce resources than others, and every kind of wealth comes at the price of a barrenness.
Woody Allen has a famous joke, he said I can't listen to too much Wagner, otherwise I would even want to attack Poland. His subtext is very simple. Since he can't subdue the demon in his heart, he can only try to avoid triggering it. Human nature has always contained the energy of war. When I was surging with the constant climax of "Transformers 2" in the movie theater, I realized that nothing in this world can beat the beauty of war, just like the beauty of pufferfish and poppies. Being able to refuse is just like a small bridge and flowing water can't replace chaos through the sky. This beauty stems from the human nature's strong pursuit of the scarce resources of others. The magic of modern technology is that it can allow the public to satisfy this desire in movie theaters and TV screens, or simply confuse the audiovisual with a lower-cost entertainment and fast food method to play a decentralized effect, as well as powerful brainwashing key settings. Please refer to the castrated male dog for the specific effect, but this does not mean that this human desire will completely degenerate like an appendix and a tail. It is more like a trapped beast that has been kept in an iron house for a long time, just with a few more locks. , The accumulating grievances are ready to go, as long as there is one reason, economic crisis, energy failure, or ethnic religion, it may break through the wall and emerge invincible.
Malthus proposed in "The Theory of Population" that the power of population proliferation is stronger than that of land to produce the means of human life. When population growth exceeds that of means of living, poverty and crime will occur. At this time, population growth must be restricted, and war Whether it is a disease or a disease, there is a fixed number to keep the two in balance. According to this theory, we know that, in a sense, there are no angels and demons in this world, and there are no good and bad distinctions between good and evil. When a bucket is gradually unable to contain the overflowing water, someone must scoop it out. Part of it can continue to fall in. When the earth cannot hold a full population, there must be a way to reduce the population. The first person who cannot bear the temper becomes a bad person. In other words, treat it as a constant earth. If you can’t satisfy the infinitely increasing desire of human beings, then you will have to die some people, kill a hundred people, and pour cold water on this desire, otherwise the fire will start a prairie fire, the earth will be overwhelmed sooner or later, and the entire human race will be crushed to pieces. So every time when facing a critical point of collapse, there will always be one or even several executioners appearing in good time. Several great demons that are firmly on the pillar of historical shame descend in the world, Napoleon, Hitler, Smallpox, and this "Watchmen" Finally put the blame on Ozymandias of Dr. Manhattan.
There are such things that happen to us every day. Two brawny men with red faces and about to fight a fight suddenly encounter a vicious dog that suddenly slays out, and they turn to the same enemy and fight against the enemy together; two old men who look at each other and have nothing to say suddenly mention After they recognized the divorce gossip of a dear friend, they immediately talked about each other. The daily fun of a family who was too poor to wear pants was to talk about the recent scandal in the neighbor's house. This world is so weird. The tragedy caused by a careerist can make it allies with superpowers ("Watchmen"), and a scapegoat wearing a mask can keep citizens faith in the law ("Batman-Darkness"). Knight), the destruction of a little Zion can complete the smooth upgrade of the entire system ("The Matrix"), a looming bus arsonist can reverse the direction of netizens, and a farce of hiding cats can quell the public's human rights question. The best way to resolve internal contradictions is not to reconcile or persuade, but to let them face an enemy together. Even if there is no enemy at all, then at the moment of last resort, we must let this enemy appear in a timely manner.
This person is our shadow enemy. He is the target waiting to be smashed by the arrow of justice. He is a concentrated explosion of the magical nature of all people in an era. He is a demon, an original sin, a drop of water and a stone, and it is hard to return. It is a must in the system. The malignant tumor removed is the hideous face in everyone’s mirror. If you spit out contemptuous saliva at him, please look down to see if the saliva will splash on your body. Don’t forget, everyone has been a watcher on this earth. .
