美国因为在2016一位“人品”大有问题的人当选总统,引出通俄闹剧,让我一直在思考一个问题,西方文明几百年前开始的启蒙,理性,发展演变到现在,还是不能改变人性中的丑陋。这种丑陋在民主自由的美国,通过通俄闹剧揭示出来,也就是loser会把自己当做winner,然后不惜一切代价,不择手段诋毁winner。这让人感到悲哀,还好美国还有法治,尽管法治的坚持和保障并不容易,但是如果没有法治,通俄闹剧会是什么结果呢?想想真后怕。
太多的事实证明,通俄闹剧是希拉里输不起的后遗症,这里面还不仅仅是希拉里个人输不起,她和奥巴马代表的4th wave progressivism的美妙口号,也遮不住他们这些人内心的丑陋。在很多博文和留言里,我一直想提醒人的virtual signalling,裱是不可信的,尤其是政治人物和意识形态主导的人物。越是口号喊得亮丽,人们越是要当心,人们要认知这些口号不是reality,是某些脑子里的东西,要观察的是这些人的行为。
以前我引用过尼采的这段话:“An idealist is incorrigible: if he is thrown out of his heaven he makes an ideal of his hell. Let him be disillusioned and behold!—he will embrace this disillusionment just as fervently as a little while before he embraced his hopes. Insofar as his tendency is among the great incurable tendencies of human nature he is able to give rise to tragic destinies and afterwards become the subject of tragedies: for tragedies have to do with precisely what is incurable, ineluctable, inescapable in the fate and character of man.”
这句话的深意是incorrigible,incurable,ineluctable,inescapable tragedies。结合最近万维网上的争吵,我发现losers把自己当成winners对一些自以为自己有某种“理想”,自认自己是崇高的人是incorrigible不可救药的,他们需要这样的disillusionment as much as hopes。 因为这是人的character问题,所以是不可救药的。
