People will say that with the advent of the Internet, there is more freedom of speech. I don't think so. It is undeniable that the popularity of the Internet has expanded the extension of freedom of speech, but it has also spawned online bullies who show up in vests. They hide behind the anonymity of the Internet, speak viciously, and smear them all. One person provoking a cultural revolution, for most netizens who have nothing to do with themselves, a fight between people is just an entertainment event at best, or some people will express sympathy hypocritically, or show a kind of seemingly fair, different. Playing fifty big boards with a sloppy attitude, or throwing into the attacking side like a chicken blood, greatly gets the pleasure of beating the underdogs. No matter how advanced human civilization is, it cannot resist the temptation to do evil at no cost. Where there are people, there are left, middle and right. Moreover, discussions on moral issues have always been full of space for sophistry. A moral attack is the easiest and most effective way to bring down a person. Morality is the proof of inner freedom, and it is difficult to prove this kind of private issue. But for most spectators, they don't have the time or interest to understand the ins and outs of things, and moral criticism can quickly make people feel superior. It's hard for many people not to take advantage of this kind of advantage in front of them.
Therefore, the collective is always a deterrent concept, because once you are isolated from the collective, you should immediately give up on justice and fairness. Collective does not just point to the institutional concept of collectivism, but when something happens, people quickly stand in line and gather under a certain viewpoint and attitude, just like the tourists visiting White Bear Justice Park in the film, before stepping into the park, they They are still individuals with no intersection. After entering the door, they play a predetermined role and become a collective of bullying individuals. They intimidate, frighten, ignore, think they are morally right, and act as moral judges to punish the wicked. Just like you, me, him on the Internet. We acted the role of clowns jumping on the beam, and we thought that we would punish the past and avoid the future, and heal the sick and save people.
It's easy to criticize other people's black belly, but it's hard to see your own malice. This kind of inner malice is often subconsciously filtered, bringing with it an aura of justice, and the motives of criticism may be jealousy, hatred, or even the venting of angry feelings elsewhere, rather than the self-proclaimed sense of justice. As for the questioning of motives, we are once again caught in a situation where it is easy to question others and difficult to question ourselves. This is like the wedding hosting event some time ago, and the focus was on the motives of questioning the female reporter. When it comes to inferring the motives of others, conspiracy theories start to proliferate. Everyone is not afraid to speculate on the Chinese people with the greatest malicious intent. However, this Chinese person alone excludes himself, as if in the moral world, he is always a priori correct.
It is not enough for our self-esteem and freedom to be protected by institutions. It relies more on a mature culture in which people are rational, good at introspection, and have demands on themselves. Our ancestors saw this very clearly. The culture of gentlemen in the Tao of Confucius and Mencius is probably a model in this regard. Combining the institutional design of Zhou and Kong culture that emphasizes rationality and Western power checks and balances, China and the West can learn from each other, may be the road to a high degree of civilization. The so-called middle school is for the purpose of physical and Western learning, and it is right to be more radical.
But such a high level of civilization requires protracted efforts, and it may take a hundred years to achieve it. For those of us who live in this world, we must try our best to resist the temptation to judge others morally, focus more on improving ourselves, read more books, understand more rationales, earn more money, and do better How meaningful things are, not busy standing in line, not forcing others to do noble things, so as not to become a vulgar and absurd person, this is actually humanitarianism.
