Guo Songmin's denial of "cannon determines truth" is actually a denial of "strength determines discourse power"
Text/Light as water
Guo Songmin wrote an article refuting the views and propositions of "cannons determine the truth" believed by netizens at present, and I have different views.
I believe that today's world, especially at this stage, is that "the cannon determines the truth"!
It is said that "justice is in the hearts of the people", but if there is no "cannon" as a support, your truth will certainly be believed and no one will listen.
Truth is epistemology, and different people, different perspectives, and different methods of the same thing will come to different conclusions.
Sometimes, if this conclusion has a subjective purpose, then the conclusion will be subject to the purpose of the guide, and it is often not important whether it conforms to objective reality.
This is the international politics that the West believes in, that is, the purpose determines the conclusion.
And from this logic, it is natural to derive another logic:
- Ability determines purpose.
So what is competence?
The answer is the cannon, the range of the cannon, which is "strength."
How far your "cannon" can hit, how far your purpose can reach, how far it radiates.
So from this point of view, there is no doubt that "the cannon determines the truth".
In an unreasonable world, who do you expect to reason with you?
Isn't that "show meets soldiers"?
Which of them is reasonable in response to the riots in Hong Kong, the rumors of genocide in Xinjiang, the panic of the Russo-Ukrainian war, and the denial of the fact that the Russian army has withdrawn?
Therefore, to deny that "the cannon determines the truth" is to deny that "strength determines the right to speak" is obviously wrong and inappropriate.
