Marco: "Why are you so against the tide?"
Karo: "Marco, Open your eyes now the wave is distorted grow up.."
......
Marco: "the wave of far-reaching significance for me."
Karo: "What is the meaning?
Marco: "A sense of belonging. ...You also know that you have a complete family. but I do not have. "
Second.
I went to Guangzhou to listen to a performance by a post-swing band. No one had ever deliberately ran to a completely unfamiliar place before. When I entered, my arm was stamped, and the bag I carried was also affixed with the same skull. Paper stickers. All young people and young people.
Very restrained at first. People go in twos and threes, and I have to be alone.
I even feel embarrassed to even sign the waiter for a drink . My
stomach is not good, no Planning to drink. But the waiter came and asked me: "What to drink? "There were few drinks on the menu, so I ordered Heineken, and he said no; I ordered Budweiser again, and he said it was sold out. When he was depressed, he pointed to the side and said, "Drink Tiger. Here, everyone drinks this. "I nodded blankly. After the
performance began, the atmosphere began to lively.
As the performance progressed smoothly, one climax one after another, the crowd began to surging in waves. People who didn’t know each other came to talk, and I was cautious. I replied a few words. Others came over and borrowed a lighter. Everything was natural. The people at the table next door started to whirl the cigarettes, and I was also very comfortable with my own Bai Wanli. We swayed with the drums and with the guitar. The melody of shook my head. Several small groups that were originally sparse, suddenly became familiar. The more they talked, the more they talked, and they even took small steps together in the back shaking atmosphere.
I had been waiting anxiously for my friend Xiaobu to come. because I do not like in a community where it appear to be alone.
but when about to finish, he came, I was already totally like the others with long-time friend as a joke.
III.
The root of the fanatic group is that there is no sense of self-recognition and worth.
The crowd needs to be homogenized.
Just as people need faith.
[Eric Hoffer points out that the less a person is worthy of boasting, the easier it is to boast about his country, religion, race, or the sacred cause he is involved in; this is essentially a firm attachment to one thing— -Attachment to something that can bring us little meaning and value in life. ]
I remember that I didn’t know which book I saw a few days ago. It roughly meant that human beings are a group of organisms that need to be homogenized.
When a person does not have or is incapable of discovering his inner true self-worth, he begins to converge with other mainstream or non-mainstream groups. He needs a sense of refuge. Although this sense of refuge is emptiness, as long as he feels that he is a person in the crowd and he has not been abandoned by the crowd, then he is satisfied. And those fanatics with weird behavior, although they seem to be incompatible with the mainstream crowd, on the contrary, it proves that they are a group of "homogenized" people.
Humans need to be homogenized. Need a sense of collective belonging. A person without self-consciousness, in a coordinated group, will feel very helpless, and in order to integrate himself into this group, to prove that he is also a member of the group, he will join this group and support this group. He will even swear allegiance to the death.
Sometimes we decide our own likes and dislikes based on the likes and dislikes of others, sometimes we depreciate things that we originally like but others disdain, and sometimes we obviously agree with others’ opinions, but we strongly refute ourselves in order to highlight our differences. This is precisely the sad part of "homogenization".
Fourth, a
uniform shirt, a uniform gesture, a uniform slogan, a uniform goal, a uniform person.
What will these remind you of? I remembered the college entrance examination.
The wave of the college entrance examination has swept generation after generation, although the results may not necessarily mean anything. But at least, after the college entrance examination, I was in panic for a long, long time. Has been in the middle of nowhere.
What do you think of a wave-like movement?
Do you think fascism is ridiculous? Do you think "how bold are people and how productive is the land" is funny? Do you think……?
In fact, when you are in a uniform group, you may not even know who you are and why you want to do this, and you shout these slogans as if it is the freedom or life you admire. Just as precious.
Le Pen’s psychological law of the unity of group spirit states: "The moral and social mechanisms that restrain individuals have lost their effectiveness in fanatical groups." It can turn a miser into profligacy, transform skeptics into believers, turn honest people into criminals, and turn cowards into heroes.
5.
[When our long-standing beliefs collapse and die, and when the ancient social pillars fall one after another, the power of the group becomes the only unmatched power, and its momentum will continue to grow. ]
Think about it, is authoritarianism reasonable? And how far have we gone on the way to follow the crowd and find ourselves?
