abused my childish heart

1. This is a sad movie.

2. Even more sadistic, when you know that this is not a story, it is true.

3. The power in the collective has always belonged to only a few people. Their subjective judgment determines everything. They will unconditionally harm outsiders in order to protect their own interests, and they will also unconditionally harm their own people in order to protect their own interests.

4. The spiral of silence, the silent majority, it doesn't matter how the term is called, the atmosphere of the group isolates the outside world, forming a temporary independent kingdom, the new authority replaces the distant old authority, and people will gradually improve in the infinite obedience, The standard of crime is alienated, the feeling is becoming wild, the hierarchy in the small world is clearly visible, not my race, I will kill you.

5. When the silence is broken, the new authority is subverted, and rationality gradually returns, recalling the various crazy actions as accomplices at the time, there seems to be no better lines except for the record-breaking repetition of i don't know.

6. In the final analysis, humans are still collective animals. In a collective where the sky is high and the law is far away, it is very easy for people to be educated and brainwashed, temporarily cleared and implanted with chips, their brains have been changed, and they will not do anything out of the ordinary. Strange.
