From this postulate, the corollaries follow: 製度自信 = 習自信,製度優勢 = 習優勢,東升西降 = 習升西降,人權 = 習權,大國抗疫 = 習抗疫,…… :-)
上次說起今年強人俱樂部成員們都走了麥城。像裏海褐粉們以前最愛說的,“新冠病毒專治各種不服”,接下來就看習強人怎麽漂亮轉身,繼續強大了 :-)
另外說到強人和褐粉們,想起來當年 Bonhoeffer 的“Theory of Stupidity” : :-)
“Upon closer observation, it becomes apparent that every strong upsurge of power in the public sphere, be it of a political or of a religious nature, infects a large part of humankind with stupidity. It would even seem that this is virtually a sociological-psychological law. The power of the one needs the stupidity of the other. The process at work here is not that particular human capacities, for instance, the intellect, suddenly atrophy or fail. Instead, it seems that under the overwhelming impact of rising power, humans are deprived of their inner independence, and, more or less consciously, give up establishing an autonomous position toward the emerging circumstances. The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with a person, but with slogans, catchwords and the like that have taken possession of him. He is under a spell, blinded, misused, and abused in his very being. Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil. This is where the danger of diabolical misuse lurks, for it is this that can once and for all destroy human beings.”
