They are so brave when they are safe.

Swipe my phone today and see two short videos on the Internet, and I think it's very suitable to talk about them together.
An incident happened in Hangzhou, a certain Internet celebrity with the screen name "Iron Head Punishes Evil and Promotes Good" recently rushed into the campus of New Oriental Training Institute to make a fuss, and after severely accusing the school of "illegal make-up classes", he also called the scene to report, and also threatened: "As long as this store dares to open, I will come every day in the future." "Then segment the video and send it online to earn traffic.

Another incident happened in an Apple store in Beijing, after a red-clothed aunt smashed an Apple mobile phone and tablet on the spot, she scolded all those who used Apple as American and Japanese lackeys and traitors. In the depths of his love, he actually crossed his waist and recited a poem on the spot: "The strong man is hungry for beard meat, and laughs and thirsts for the blood of the Huns." Then spot check all the customers who came to the store, whether they would recite this poem - I don't know, I thought it was Qin Hui in Lao Mozi's "Manjiang Hong" at the beginning of the year.

Surprisingly similar to the "iron head" brother in Hangzhou, when the aunt was pulled away by the ambulance, she also said domineeringly: "Wait, I will come out!" "——This sentence seems to be suspected of being possessed by Mr. Big Wolf in "Pleasant Goat".
To be serious, after watching these two videos, I always feel that although these two have a man and a woman, the incident occurred in the south and the north, one TikTok and one recite ancient poems, they always have some inexplicable mysterious similarity in temperament, and it makes me have a very strong sense of déjà vu.
After thinking about it for a long time, I understood that this sense of déjà vu came from the famous paragraph that Mr. Lu Xun said in "The True Story of A Q": A Q was slapped in the mouth by the fourth master of Zhao, questioning "You also deserve the surname Zhao", and his heart has always been depressed. As a result, one day I met a little nun on the road, so I suddenly reached out to touch Yi Xin's shaved scalp, and said with a smirk: "Bald! Go back, the monk is waiting for you...".
If you block the context and the context, just look at this paragraph, you ask Ah Q to bully the little nun, is there any clear motive? It seems that there is none, so why did he, a "flexible employment person" who was not in the village, suddenly think of helping the temple picket the problem of style and discipline for no reason? You must ask the reason, in fact, there is only one, after successively challenging all the layers of Weizhuang from Zhao Siye to Wang Hu and Xiao D, Ah Q found that the above people could not afford to provoke any of them, and they were always bullied by them. But he was frequently humiliated, but an evil fire accumulated in his heart to be sent, so who to send it to, so he had to bully the little nun.
In fact, whether the nuns and monks have that leg or not, it doesn't matter to Ah Q at all. The so-called is that he knows that the little nun is different from Zhao Si, Wang Hu, and Little D, and he can't take what kind of existence he has. Since you can't do anything with me, then I can stand at a safe distance and wantonly find your stubble, bully you, ridicule you, and take it as a "record" arrogantly filmed into a video, in exchange for the same depressed people with this psychological appeal to browse and like.
So we can understand why, although the reasons for finding fault are different, the words left by the two people when they leave are strikingly similar - "I will come back", "I will come every day in the future". This is actually a declaration that it is indeed addictive to stand outside the safe range and bully others to vent this kind of thing.
After trying it once, the Internet celebrity "Iron Head" and the red-clothed aunt found that it was very cool, and whether it was New Oriental or Apple Store, it seemed that there was really no way to take them. So they boldly swore an oath: they will return it later! ——People are hooked on this mouthful.
You see that Ah Q in the novel also feels addicted after he has the courage to pinch the little nun. It's just that Ah Q is not as shameless as these two, and he doesn't dare to openly announce, "I will check you and the monk every day in the future."
However, Lu Xun still said unceremoniously: "Some victors are willing to fight like a tiger or an eagle, so that they can feel the joy of victory; If he is like a sheep, like a chicken, he feels the boredom of victory. And some victors, when they have overcome everything, see that the dead are dead, and the descending is descending, and 'the courtiers sincerely fear the death penalty,' so that he has no enemies, no opponents, no friends, only himself on top, one, lonely and the other, desolate, lonely, but feels the sorrow of victory. However, our Ah Q is not so lacking, he is always proud: this may also be a proof that our spiritual civilization is crowned in the world. ”
Similarly, whether it is the head iron net celebrity or the red-clothed aunt, they are always so proud, Ah Q's spiritual victory method, at this moment the soul possesses, they are not fighting alone.

"The hook has always been elegant, and the father-in-law has been famous since ancient times." This is a lyric from a song that has recently become popular.
In fact, this lyric refers to a very common psychological phenomenon, that is, "compensatory psychology". Many people, when they pursue something that they cannot pursue, and therefore cannot satisfy their desires, they no longer pursue the original goal, but try to "re-assume" a purpose to pursue, and in this "pursuit" try to play the image of themselves that cannot be satisfied in the original goal. Therefore, the young lady in the hook column likes to pretend to be Sanzhen Jiu Lie the most, and the father-in-law who has gone to the scene likes to dress up the majestic and majestic most.
This kind of compensatory psychology is reflected in modern times, that is, you will see that the more those people at the bottom of society, those who can not afford to provoke, can only idle at the head of the village and town, as long as you dare to give him a head, denounce the US imperialist dog for embarrassing and disrupting the world's wolf ambition, he can excitedly talk to you from white to black, maybe speaking of excitement, you can also recite what "Jingkang shame, still not snow" out.
In fact, if you think about it, do these international events that make them so "indignant" really have half a dime impact on the lives of people like them? Have they really been to the United States, or can they afford to use apples?
Stop pulling it off. What really affects their lives is actually more trivial things than these trivial things.
For example, the leader of his unit violated the labor law and made him work 996 overtime without pay, or his child's school teacher watched people order dishes and put small shoes on his child in school.
However, whether it is the small leader of the unit or the small teacher in the school, for small people like him, it is an existence that cannot be provoked, and if they dare to be indignant and fight back in such a matter that infringes on their own rights and interests, most of them are prone to retaliation. Even if they commute to and from the bus and see scoundrels occupying more seats, they may not dare to go up to seek justice. Because there are too many people who like to play tricks because they have a little power in these years, "you don't know which cloud is raining" - this is the survival wisdom of the little people.
However, "prestige" still has to be "good", and the pressure accumulated in life must be vented. So what to do? Then the only way to go to New Oriental to make a video fuss, or go to the Apple store to recite "Manjiang Red". In any case, whether it is private capital or foreign enterprises, they are the same as the US imperialists, the West, and the capitalists who criticize the broad-minded people, and they cannot do anything with these people.
They understand very well that among all the visible "clouds" in their humble lives, there is only this one, and they will not thunder or rain no matter how they scold.
Yes, in this psychological outlet food chain, American imperialism, capitalists, New Oriental and Apple Store play the role of the non-threatening little nun, allowing the "Jina Q" to wantonly perform the heroic image that is most lacking in their reality.
In this kind of performance, the Q people laughed and were very proud, and the spectators also laughed, nine points proud. Only the employees in the New Oriental and Apple stores who were involved cried - they finally survived the epidemic, and only then did they open the door to do serious business for a few days, so they came to help the neuropathy make trouble, and they clamored to come every day. If they really succeeded, how can this business still be done? Will the economy recover and employment still be pulled?
Please this group of aunts and Internet celebrities, more or less as individuals. No matter what kind of righteousness you make, don't be a person who is "brave only when safe, generous when free, sincere when stupid, emotional when shallow". It's ridiculous that it's not heroic at all.
Moreover, are you not afraid that if you do too much of this kind of thing, you will kill yourself if you do too much unrighteousness?

The famous Soviet composer Shostakovich wrote a memoir in his later years called "Testimony".
The book talks about some interesting and strange "folklore" in the Soviet Union at that time - for example, he said that Soviet cadres lived in unit allocated buildings, and the kitchen was shared, so a large number of Soviets, including Shostakovich himself, developed a habit of spitting into other people's kettles while neighbors were not paying attention. In the end, everyone knows that they have drunk other people's phlegm, so they will continue to spit into other people's kettles, because if they don't spit out, isn't it a loss?
In today's words, the disgusting phenomenon that Shostakovich is talking about is the standard "mutual harm at the bottom." But have you ever wondered why the USSR formed such a strange ethos, and why? It must be noted that Shostakovich and the neighbors assigned to him are all cultural people.
To put it bluntly, everyone is too careful in the open, and if someone else steps on your foot on the bus, you'd better first ask the other party if the KGB is and then let him move away. There are many people who dare not vent their anger in their hearts, so they rely on the disgusting trick of spitting into other people's kettles to trip each other. By watching others eat up, you are absolutely safe and get a sick satisfaction.
One thing that Shostakovich's paragraph reminds us is that those seemingly safe mutual harm vents will sooner or later eat themselves back. The reason why A Q was bullied so much by Wang Hu and Little D in Weizhuang is essentially because Wang Hu and Little D are afraid that they have also been slapped by the fourth master of Zhao, but they dare not resist those who are stronger than him, so they have to vent here in A Q, and A Q vents to the little nun, and this anger will not disappear here in Little Nun for no reason. Like that phlegm spit in the kettle of the Soviet tube building, it will only increase.
In the same way, those who shout that they are accustomed to "boycotting American and Japanese goods" and "capitalists hang street lamps", they run to New Oriental or Apple stores to actually act, or watch such videos to like and applaud, and they all think that doing so is absolutely safe for themselves. After all, it is under the banner of "patriotism" and "anti-capital".
However, if the voices of foreign capital and private enterprises are really made by their nonsense, they can't do it and disappear. Whose kettle will these people run to and spit then? How much other people's phlegm will be in their own kettle, then it is not certain.
So although the behavior of this "iron-headed" Internet celebrity and the red-clothed aunt in the video looks funny and crazy, I really can't laugh at all.
Because watching the traffic, likes, and a large number of comments saying that they are "courageous" and "at least have good intentions" through these videos. I really don't know how many people around us today feel that they have phlegm in their throats and dare not spit elsewhere, so they spit safely into other people's kettles in the name of various righteousness.
The most ridiculous, saddest, and terrifying thing is that these people are always keen to "perform heroism" with this kind of nonsense - I don't know, this kind of bravery is precisely what they lack the most in their own lives.
