Chapter 21 Patriotism is a game
Why does the older generation, who have suffered the most from Japanese militarism, emphasize Sino-Japanese friendship?
There are also people who think that there should be no war reparations, that Japan's interest-free loans should be given, that what the Eight-Nation Coalition has stolen should also be returned, that the First Sino-Japanese War should be won, that all races should be equal, that the world should be peaceful, and that there should be more things.
China can't move away, and Japan can't sink it. Japan can't move away, and it can't do without China, it's all in East Asia. The United States has two oceans, and it has the advantage of having no rivals in the surrounding area, but that is also a disadvantage.
Where Chinese civilization can influence, whether it is determined by the nature of geo-politics or the industrial age, whether it is Vietnam, North Korea, South Korea, or Japan, it can be pulled over, and it has the attribute of a natural alliance, and China's size determines the location.
But it just won't build, it will only dismantle the stage, and little by little turn its advantages into disadvantages without knowing it.
Taking the Northern Dynasties as an example, if China really has a friendly match with foreign guests, who can really stand in the same trench with China? Is it the Northern Dynasty ridiculed by public opinion, or those high-ranking friends of human rights-freedom and democracy praised by public opinion, it would be good not to slap you in the face, and it is impossible to tell who is the true ally?
What kind of system is Vietnam, it is the same socialist system as China, the nature of the alliance, and there is historical friction, but that is for the sake of getting along better and loving each other in the future, not for the sake of pushing out to increase the enemy.
China and Japan have a war problem, and France and Germany have never fought? Britain and the United States do not fight? The United States and Canada do not fight?
Britain, a small island, has played with the countries of continental Europe for so many years with a continental equilibrium policy. If you only look at the historical events in Europe and laugh at the stupidity of the European continent being played by the British, you will not know that you will not answer the questions if you take history as a mirror and put it on yourself if you change the type of question.
Hatred is a kind of motivation, but it will blind the eyes, if it will only destroy and not build, and if it will not hurt the enemy but only hurt itself, then there will be more and more enemies.
China has external opponents that can stimulate the internal and increase cohesion, and some things are easy to do, with half of the pros and cons, and one and the same. However, the United States is the elite who manipulates people's minds with the collective unconscious, while China is manipulated by external public opinion and falls into the collective unconscious.
The beacon of the United States is lit, why don't you see people talking about the monarchy of a few oil tyrant allies?
The source of the Arab ideology is Lao Sha, and in order to protect the monarchy, the old American elite is not clear? Still not moving, why? You don't need to let the media help you think, the consciousness-form penetration technology in the new era is to let the media help you think, but make you think it is your own thoughts.
It is difficult to distinguish ideological things, just as color is empty and empty, where people come from and where they want to go, this is incomprehensible, and the structure and manipulation of the civilization level are also at this level, but as long as the appearance is removed, the essential advantages and disadvantages can be distinguished.
If China becomes friends and allies with Japan, North Korea, and South Korea, will it hurt or enhance China's interests? Conversely, what about becoming an enemy?
So, should China's strategy be constructive, or should it operate the other way around?
It's hard to make friends and win allies, but if you see someone as an enemy, it will surely make your dreams come true.
France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Tsarist Russia, Poland, Austria and other countries are not fools, and Britain's continental equilibrium policy has played well, and it still allows them to collide head-on.
As for how to make the audience produce such attitudes and decisions, reverse deduction can give a glimpse of the technology of consciousness-form control in the new era, and how the West allows its own media and public opinion to help it do things, and you can still be aware of it.
The national interest is there, it is clear, the purpose is to increase it, not the other way around, and it is a very simple reason to look at the result and not the motive.
Military thinking, when you see the island chain, you want to break through, you want to pull out the nails, you want to fight when you see the enemy, you have a strong sense of crisis, and you have a clear distinction between love and hate. Whoever has a soldier who is patriotic, the most patriotic is a soldier, who dares to risk his life for the country. But I'm sorry, in so many countries in the world, the most taboo thing is that the military interferes in politics, and would rather hand over the country to a group of politicians.
What is the mindset of politicians? Turn the unfavorable trend into advantage, create the big trend with the small trend, and suppress the disadvantage with the big trend. The thinking of politicians determines how impure they look at things, good and bad can be changed, the general trend can be created, and they always bully the weak and fear the hard.
Both military personnel and politicians serve the interests of the country, politicians are the petri dish and amplifier of national power, and military personnel are the handlers who use national power. Politicians are responsible for playing cards, one relies on the cards, the second relies on ability, and the third relies on acting, and the military is responsible for showdowns, collecting money or defaulting on accounts. The bargaining chip is the national interest.
In the eyes of politicians, the island chain is still the island chain, the enemy is still the enemy, the pros are the advantages, and the disadvantages are the disadvantages, but the big politicians are not.
Politicians who can play cards are called politicians, and those who can collect money or can repay their debts are called military experts. A very small number of politicians at the level of gambling gods are called big politicians, and those who are especially good at collecting money or repaying debts are called big military strategists. The great men who make the rules of playing cards are called great men, regardless of whether they are military and political or ideological philosophers, all of them are great figures in the human world.
International relations and social activities have determined that you can only play cards first, and you can't go up to a showdown, especially after the atomic energy. The purpose of patriotism is to advance the national interest, not the other way around. What's wrong with being patriotic, you can't lose chips just because you are patriotic, decide whether you are a real patriot, it depends on whether the chips increase or decrease, clearly.
Is it a patriotic thief who is against this and against that? No, patriotic thief is a very stupid word.
Don't call patriotic people patriotic thieves, don't use subjective things to define patriotic thieves, this word is the word of the Republic of China, ignorant to the core, patriotism and thieves can not be put together, can not be confused, this will hit patriotic feelings, which will cause the crowd to tear and pull.
Only those who do bad things with good intentions, but patriotism is not wrong, even if it hurts the interests of the country because of patriotism, even if it hurts the interests of the nation because of patriotism, there is no saying that there is a thief of patriotism, people are not computers, and social development is a spiral and gradual process, which is originally a game between all social strata and various trends of thought.
Impulse is an instinct, instinct is the most primitive driving force of human beings, if a nation has no impulsive people, no naïve people, no hot-blooded people, no fools, the nation is dead.
If a good heart can only hurt oneself and cannot hurt the enemy, it can be called a good heart to do bad things, it can be said to be naïve, it can be said to be impulsive, it can be said to be immature, but it cannot insult a person who is truly patriotic.
People can grow up, they can mature, everything is one and the same, nothing is only good and not bad, there is no patriotic thief, this ignorant word will only hit national self-confidence and patriotic feelings.
The word patriotic thief only destroys, does not build, will only divide the ethnic group, can not play any role in cohesion, calling others patriotic thieves, itself is caught in the limitations of metaphysical thinking, unwilling to grow, but also hit the patriotic enthusiasm of others, pulling each other, under the butterfly effect, eventually affecting the interests of the country and the individual nation, not respected.
It's like you can only laugh at it, you can only look at it, you have an idea, you say it, you can't change the country, the nation, the society, and you can't change yourself?
What really betrays the country and hurts national feelings can be distinguished, distinguished, and measured, such as the voice of the United States, Chinese, Asian-hosted, non-American-born Chinese, for the sake of identity, take foreigners' money to do things, clearly, this is called betraying the country and the nation.
But if an overseas person, whether Chinese or foreigner, either takes money to do things, or uses his own perception to slander China and abuse Chinese, it's okay, this is called a game.
Chinese people are discriminated against, national feelings are insulted, the weak will be inferior, but it will arouse the national feelings of the strong, will work hard to be strong, one and the other, there are advantages and disadvantages, this is a game.
It is natural for all strata of society to express their views on their own perceptions and interests, which is called a folk game. Receiving government financial expenditures, military and political academic research, etc., is called royal, which is the government level. received money from foreigners, and it was called betraying the country and the nation. It's not a subjective definition, it's measurable and clear.
There is a game within the government, there is a game within the people, and there is a game between the people and the government, which is interrelated, which is called internal contradictions. If you receive money from foreigners, it is not internal, it is a betrayal of the country and the nation, and it is a contradiction between the enemy and us.
All commercial activities are called interests and interests, that is the domain of capital, it is neutral, it cannot talk about patriotism, betrayal of the country, nationality or nationality, only speak for itself, always be a party to the game, and take its money to call the spokesperson of capital.
For all commercial companies and business activities, do not look at problems from the perspective of the country and the nation, it will hurt others and hurt yourself. It is one side of the game, the ancient Silk Road, the Maritime Silk Road, China's long-term net inflow of silver, compradors are all heroes. Sea and land foreign trade, that is, import and export trade, compradors are intermediaries and brokers, it is neutral, is the amplifier of interests, you are strong, it amplifies your net inflow of silver, you are weak, it amplifies your silver outflow.
In ancient times, the money bank was strong, and it was true that it exploited merchants and ordinary people, but it resisted foreign banks and did not flow out of silver. It is weak, and it can't exploit the businessmen and the common people, because foreign banks are the masters of the domestic financial market, and the outflow of money will make you even more miserable.
Therefore, there is a distinction between national capital and foreign capital, but whether it is national capital or foreign capital, it is all one side of the game.
Capital neutrality will magnify your strengths and weaknesses, this is a double-edged sword, can not be measured from the perspective of the country and the nation, it is an instinct to obtain profits, only speak for its own interests, it is a party to the game.
Taking private enterprises as an example, if you take the national set of requirements for private enterprises and demand them to be noble, it is to increase its cost, because you can't order foreign companies, and eventually the damage will be rolled back.
