Tiananmen Square protests of 1989

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989

The Communist Party of China (CPC) forbids discussion of the Tiananmen Square protests, and has taken measures to block or censor related information. Textbooks have little, if any, information about the protests. After the protests, officials banned controversial films and books, and shut down many newspapers. Within a year, 12% of all newspapers, 8% of publishing companies, 13% of social science periodicals and more than 150 films were banned or shut down. The government also announced it had seized 32 million contraband books and 2.4 million video and audio cassettes. Access to media and Internet resources on the subject are restricted or blocked by censors. Banned literature and films include Summer Palace, Forbidden City, Collection of June Fourth Poems, The Critical Moment: Li Peng diaries, and any writings of Zhao Ziyang or his aide Bao Tong, including Zhao's memoirs. However, contraband and Internet copies of these publications can be found.

I hope your social credit score goes lower because of this lmao

論洗腦的產生/the emergence of brainwashing

25 March - sunrise | 4 Comments

所謂洗腦，就是在心理學中，利用人自發的心理弱點，將某一種思想灌輸給他人。於是從影響思維，影響行爲，到最強的人格控制，這就產生了「洗腦」的結果。
我們所有的思想，都根據能獲得的信息所衍生出來的。信息來源渠道被控制被掌控，我們的心理自然也就被掌控了
控制信息來源下，禁止你說什麼，要求你看什麼，成為了洗腦的初步表現。比如相當數量的人仍認為「建墻」是防止中國愚民被海外言論洗腦，他們錯誤之處就在於對控制信息來源的忽視帶來的
假如有人瞭解了一些中共的負面訊息，如何將你腦中已有的對國家和政黨不滿的負面思想給抹去？看起來好像不可能，實際上在心理學上，早就有了各種方法。最簡單最常見的，就是用大量的信息去轟炸你的大腦
人的大腦比較弱智，並且不能接受太多的內容。如果超過了我們的極限，則大腦會自動的刪除不重要時間久的信息。通過反覆的播放信息，或者不斷給你灌輸新的內容，都能有效的起到洗腦效果
舉例來說，你今天看到了一個中國國內的新聞:「廣東幼稚園出現一男子報復社會，砍死砍傷xxx人」這樣的負面新聞後，多少會開始對國內的情況有一定不滿和抱怨。但是隨著報喜不報憂的新聞大量發佈灌輸，人又會遺忘這樣的負面新聞。
在限制信息渠道和經過高強度的信息轟炸下，初步性的洗腦就完成了。但是現在問題來了:假如我仍舊對外界的信息表示確信呢？我是如何才能做到對自家的信息深信不疑而不相信外界的信息呢？
於是就有了誤導。比較淺顯的誤導手段就是將真的和假的內容同時輸出給你，從而混淆你的判斷能力，讓你在不知不覺中相信了錯誤的理論。
假如桌上有一瓶礦泉水，有的人能看出它是水，而認知低的人會認為他是雪碧，認知更低的人會認為他是硫酸。在政治民主的國家，人民瞭解信息的渠道是多元的，而人的認知也是多樣的，看出各種情況的都有，但不會出現一邊倒的情況；在威權國家，人民瞭解信息的渠道是單元並且會被大量誤導，由此，產生認知偏差並且毫不猶豫的選擇相信。從而使得民眾很大比例的認為他是雪碧甚至是硫酸了，這是由於人的認知偏差下受到誤導帶來的。
比較高明的則是告訴你的都是真相，但永遠只是真相的一部分，而且這一部分往往具有誤導性。你以爲是自己得出的結論，其實不過是在別人的設計之中罷了。
比如來說:告訴你某件事（例如六四）的一部分真相，再告訴你香港反送中的一部分真相和俄羅斯烏克蘭伊拉克衰落的一部分真相。然後從而得出六四屠殺是對的，不這樣做中國就會變得像俄羅斯伊拉克和香港激進勇武派一樣亂，這就是「誤導」帶來的了。這就促成了許多的高級粉紅，他們會很多特定的話術甚至看似中立理性的觀點，以至於許多人甚至由此蒙在鼓裡。
當勸導這一步完成時，洗腦已經基本完成了。那麼，要通過什麼樣的方式來更好的表達自己想要洗腦的內容呢？
這種方式就是「情緒衝擊」:當情緒上頭的時侯，理智就會下線，情緒衝擊利用的就是這個原理。當你的情緒被調動起來後，邏輯思維能力下降，往往難以判斷事情是否合理，不知不覺內心就被控制住了。
常見的情緒衝擊包括：通過威脅恐嚇製造恐懼；通過渲染煽情，製造感動；通過比較製造焦慮，通過誇張製造驚奇。
這種心理控制手段會使得很多人都是潛意識就用上了。比如說，通過宣揚中國近代史多麼的屈辱，將國家擬人化，再給你所謂的中共領導中國人民的事實就能營造一種偉大復興的情緒衝擊。需要剔除真實和真理，這就是爲什麼要牢牢把控教育和文化的原因，也是這幾年文化審查的原因，也是爲什麼針對宗教信仰人群(比如新疆維族法輪功或者基督教徒)的迫害嚴重很多的原因。
把一群人長期不斷封鎖在謊言中需要很大的代價，會嚴重抑制生產效率和文化科技創新，這就是為什麼政教合一國家和朝鮮之類的國家越來越脫離於現代的原因，也是洗腦的惡性結果。

The so-called brainwashing refers to the use of a person's spontaneous psychological weaknesses in psychology to instill a certain idea in others. So, from influencing thinking, influencing behavior, to the strongest personality control, this produces the result of brainwashing.
All our thoughts are derived from the available information. The channels of information sources are controlled and controlled, and our psychology is naturally also controlled
Under the control of information sources, prohibiting you from saying anything and requiring you to see something has become a preliminary manifestation of brainwashing. For example, a considerable number of people still believe that "building walls" is to prevent Chinese fools from being brainwashed by overseas speech, and their mistake lies in the neglect of controlling information sources
If someone has learned some negative information about the Communist Party of China, how can they erase the negative thoughts of dissatisfaction with the country and political party that are already in your mind? It may seem impossible, but in fact, there have been various methods in psychology for a long time. The simplest and most common way is to bombard your brain with a large amount of information
The human brain is relatively intellectually disabled and cannot accept too much content. If it exceeds our limit, the brain will automatically delete information that is not important for a long time. By repeatedly playing information or constantly imparting new content to you, it can effectively have a brainwashing effect
For example, if you saw a negative news in China today: "A man retaliated against society in a kindergarten in Guangdong, killing and injuring xxx people", you would start to have some dissatisfaction and complaints about the situation in China. But with the mass release of news that reports good news but not bad news, people will forget such negative news.
Under the restriction of information channels and high-intensity information bombardment, preliminary brainwashing was completed. But now the question arises: what if I still express confidence in external information? How can I truly believe in my own information without trusting external information?
So there was misleading. A relatively simple method of misleading is to output both true and false content to you at the same time, thereby confusing your judgment ability and making you unconsciously believe in the wrong theory.
If there is a bottle of mineral water on the table, some people can tell it is water, while those with lower cognition will think it is Sprite, and those with lower cognition will think it is sulfuric acid. In politically democratic countries, the channels for people to understand information are diverse, and human cognition is also diverse. There are various situations that can be seen, but there will be no one-sided situation; In authoritarian countries, the channels through which people understand information are units and can be heavily misled, resulting in cognitive biases and unwavering choices to believe. As a result, a large proportion of the public believe that he is Sprite or even sulfuric acid, which is due to misleading cognitive biases.
A more clever way is to tell you the truth, but always only a part of the truth, and this part is often misleading. You think it's your own conclusion, but in fact, it's just in someone else's design.
For example, tell you a part of the truth about something (such as June 4th), and then tell you a part of the truth about Hong Kong's anti extradition campaign and the decline of Russia, Ukraine, and Iraq. Then it can be concluded that the June Fourth Massacre is correct. If China does not do so, it will become as chaotic as the radical warriors in Russia, Iraq, and Hong Kong, which is what "misleading" brings. This has led to many advanced pinks, who use specific language and even seemingly neutral and rational viewpoints, to the extent that many people are even unaware of them.
When this step of persuasion is completed, brainwashing is basically completed. So, what are the ways to better express what you want to brainwash?
This approach is called "emotional shock": when emotions rise, reason will come down, and emotional shock utilizes this principle. When your emotions are aroused, your logical thinking ability decreases, and it is often difficult to judge whether things are reasonable, and your heart is unconsciously controlled.
Common emotional shocks include: creating fear through threats and intimidation; Creating emotions through rendering and touching; Create anxiety through comparison and surprise through exaggeration.
This psychological control method can make many people subconsciously use it. For example, by promoting the humiliation of modern Chinese history, anthropomorphizing the country, and giving you the fact that the Communist Party of China is leading the Chinese people, it can create a great emotional impact of rejuvenation.
Blocking a group of people in lies for a long time requires a high cost, which will seriously inhibit production efficiency and cultural and technological innovation. This is why countries like the integration of politics and religion and North Korea are becoming increasingly detached from modernity, and it is also a malignant result of brainwashing.

35周年的回首/Looking Back on the 35th Anniversary

22 March - sunrise | 8 Comments

在早期中国国内舆论场中，曾有大量的自由主义者，他们或坚定的现在大众一边，或亲身实地的考察中国国内外现状，或追求言论自由的步伐。他们或许被叫做古墓派，亦或许被叫做“公共知识分子”（公知）。他们在中国国内互联网上发光发热，也带来了中国早期互联网的百家争鸣盛况。
回望1989年以来的三十多年岁月，时光荏苒，荡气回肠，是中华民族的浩劫与变革。从胡耀邦的去世到赵紫阳的追忆，从反对426社论到香港反送中的五大诉求。一代又一代的中国知识分子，面对中共的暴权与屠刀，展露出坦荡的英雄本色。尽管最终它以镇压和武力收场，但历史从未忘记那一天，也从未忘记那改变中国历史走向的百日。
随着时光的荏苒，古典自由派经历了一轮又一轮的墙内外舆论场的冲击。在后疫情时代逐渐开始占据主流的新自由派，他们却开始走向了另一个活成了他们所厌恶的样子的群体——支黑。今天，新自由派的极端化正越来越走向近乎不可逆转的态势。他们是最纯正的恨国党和投降派，他们以欧美文化和意识形态马首是瞻。他们用所谓的支性奴性洼地等为借口，来敌视中华民族和每一个正义善良的中华儿女。他们披着所谓自由主义的皮囊，却完全不愿意接纳任何哪怕一点点反对他们观点的人的任何话。他们占据甚至绑架着中国国内自由派的高地，他们宣扬自己追崇自由主义却行着专制的手段。我甚至毫不犹豫的可以这么说——假如中国是民主国家而欧美是威权国家，他们也一样会把威权政治和威权主义奉为座上宾。这些群体的扩散，如今已不可避免的需要遏止了！
以此敬告于诸位：我们中华儿女的利益福祉与民族自强，是我们中华共和国每一位国民的义务！我们的宗旨，将是让这个共党统治下威权作恶的国度，改造成一个民主共和宪政的中国，我们自由派，是顶天立地的群体，是追求光我民族促进大同的群体，是中华民族的脊梁和中间。我们决不是欧美西方势力的附庸与走狗，更不是为了通过批判中国人来获得心理满足的下水道的老鼠。在此，鄙人写下此文，来促使诸位一起同仇敌忾，内拒支黑，外斗粉红，戮力同心，再造中华！
让下水道的老鼠们发抖吧！中华共和国的黎明之光，终将照耀整个东亚，驱散下水道的阴霾，它将从东方冉冉升起，以帝国的姿态，迎回他天朝上国过往的荣光！
谨以此文章，以纪念成百上千惨死在1989年6月4日的中华民族先贤

In the early stage of domestic public opinion in China, there were a large number of liberals who either firmly sided with the masses, personally examined the current situation both domestically and internationally, or pursued the pace of freedom of speech. They may be called the ancient tomb school, or they may be called "public intellectuals". They shine on China's domestic Internet, and also bring the grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought contending on China's early Internet.
Looking back at the more than thirty years since 1989, time flies and it is a catastrophe and transformation for the Chinese nation. From the death of Hu Yaobang to Zhao Ziyang's recollection, from opposing the 426 editorial to the five major demands in Hong Kong's anti extradition campaign. Generation after generation of Chinese intellectuals have shown their magnanimity and heroism in the face of the CCP's tyranny and slaughter. Although it ultimately ended with repression and military force, history has never forgotten that day, nor the hundred days that changed the direction of Chinese history.
With the passage of time, the classical liberals have experienced rounds of impact from the public opinion fields inside and outside the walls. In the post pandemic era, the neoliberals gradually began to dominate, but they began to move towards another group that had become what they despised - the Zhihei. Today, the radicalization of neoliberals is increasingly moving towards an almost irreversible trend. They are the purest anti nationalist and surrendering factions, and they are guided by European and American cultures and ideologies. They use so-called tribal and servile lowlands as an excuse to be hostile towards the Chinese nation and every just and kind Chinese people. They are dressed in the skin of so-called liberalism, but they are completely unwilling to accept any words from anyone who even opposes their views. They occupy or even kidnap the high ground of domestic liberals in China, promoting their pursuit of liberalism but using authoritarian means. I can even say without hesitation that if China were a democratic country and Europe and America were authoritarian countries, they would also regard authoritarian politics and authoritarianism as guests of honor. The spread of these groups now inevitably needs to be curbed!
To all of you, it is the duty of every citizen of the Republic of China to safeguard the interests, well-being, and national self-improvement of our Chinese people! Our aim will be to transform this authoritarian and evil country under the rule of the Communist Party into a democratic, republican, and constitutional China. We, as liberals, are a towering group, a group that pursues the rejuvenation of our nation and promotes great harmony. We are the backbone and center of the Chinese nation. We are by no means vassals or lackeys of Western powers in Europe and America, let alone rats in the sewer system who seek psychological satisfaction by criticizing the Chinese people. Here, I write this article to urge everyone to unite against the enemy, refuse to support the black within, fight against the pink outside, work together to rebuild China!
Let the mice in the sewer tremble! The dawn of the Republic of China will eventually illuminate the entire East Asia, dispelling the haze of the sewer. It will slowly rise from the east, welcoming back the glory of its past as an empire!
This article is to commemorate the hundreds and thousands of Chinese ancestors who died tragically on June 4, 1989。
