"A few of the people you killed were real fascists... I'm sure there are two... But I don't want to record the people I kill as booty, or to do such disgusting things as notching techniques on the butts. ”
In the preparation of a "anti-war theme book list" sharing video, just brewed a little long. When the Burmese coup news landed on the major hot search lists, the idea came up with it, and finally had the courage to open Hemingway's tome. But a week later, the Burmese heat passed, and I only read half of the book in my hand.
I thought I couldn't rub the hot spots.
But soon after, the Afghan civil war came. The war in Afghanistan is hot and protracted, and if I can make a video in the meantime, it will catch up with the hot spot. But I still don't.
As a self-media editor, I know that hotspots are traffic. But perhaps at work, catering to the public, chasing the state of hot spots I am extremely tired, so when operating the account independently, I will consciously or unconsciously avoid hot spots and seek a relaxed, self-state.
But unexpectedly, I didn't chase the hot spot, but the hot spot seemed to chase me.
The war in Afghanistan is over, the war in Guinea is over again...
I don't know how many other hot spots I'll encounter as I prepare the video, but I know that if we open the information window, we will find that the world is not peaceful.
Chinese can put the war in the field as a talking point, and can also analyze the good and evil of the several camps involved in the war in a reasonable way, which is a great luck, a great fortune. But hemingway's revelation to me in this book is that it is unreasonable and crude to name the combatants in terms of XXists, XX positions, and XX elements. Most likely, these fighters have no position, no claim, no faith, and if so, it is just a survival instinct, and a powerful inspiration from the decision-makers of the war, akin to a kind of seduction, or an anesthetic. Under the influence of anesthesia, they can kill cruelly. But after the anesthesia, there is endless struggle and nightmares.
Because they have fallen into this nightmare, they must strengthen their belief in going to war with the same set of propaganda promoted by decision-makers, which is similar to giving anesthesia reinforcement injections, after which they can enter the next battlefield... And so on.
