Yesterday will be repeated

Where is the comedy, it is a realistic film. The first three-quarters have insufficient humor, and the rhythm is a little far-fetched. Without cultural and political stalks, I can't understand it, and I can't laugh. Moreover, it is uncertain, as if the stereotype of Hitler should be discarded, and if it makes sense, it must be accepted, but what is right and wrong should be divided. Fortunately, I waited until the last quarter, and the mystery that ran through the whole article was broken at this moment.

The dream was awakened by the uncontrollable shout of the old lady, "Everyone thought he was joking at first, but he also lied to everyone like this at the beginning!" The subsequent reversal was simply too meaningful. The "director" began to suspect that Hitler was telling the truth, and went to the hospital to crash and smash things, but no one believed him, but thought he had a mental problem. As a result, he ended the farce and shot Hitler. But when he walked to the end of the rooftop, there was no dead body. A voice came from behind, saying, "It's useless, I grow in your hearts."

As soon as the camera turned, I realized that this was all just a scene in the theater. After finishing, the director and Hitler sat in the back seat of the convertible and looked at each other and smiled. The tall image of the director instantly made people creepy. She was exactly the same as the woman who made Hitler's movies back then, as charming and dangerous as poppies. The "director", who desperately shouted the truth, was treated as a madman and was admitted to a lunatic asylum. And people down the street started holding their right hand up to Hitler as they did 70 years ago...History is always strikingly similar. This political metaphor is absurd, and the black is scary. The soil of that drama has never disappeared, and it is more likely to make a comeback in this day when global crises are frequent.

I have always wondered why the Germans were able to indulge a centralized group like Hitler. Hannah Arendt speaks of independent thinking and resistance to the evil of mediocrity. But never fully convinced. Until I read "They Think They're Free," the author seems to be a German-American, a Jew, or a journalist. In short, he has a special status. Choose to observe "Nazis" from a microscopic perspective. And the so-called Nazis could be lawyers, teachers, priests, any normal ordinary people around you. He said in the book that any such small person always considers the most favorable conditions for himself when making decisions, and at that time, after the Great Depression, just like China after the founding of the People's Republic of China, food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment were the only needs. , it is the hope and vitality that great leaders bring to them. I think that's why that generation is forever grateful.

As for the possibility of history repeating itself today, the breeding ground for Nazi populism is from the Holocaust of Modernity, which seems to be Bauman's book. He said that the great invention of modern human beings, the perfect bureaucracy, is exactly the soil where evil breeds. Instrumental rationality is greater than moral rationality. The order passed from layer to layer leads to the absence of moral obstacles, and it also becomes the best excuse to shirk responsibility. And all to be sinful means all to be sinless. The once proud rationality may be a sharp knife to kill human beings. In addition to the complex environment today, a large number of refugees are pouring into Germany, and Nazi populism is on the rise (in my humble opinion, the tragedy of the year was not always vigilant, and the same will happen today. occur.
