主题:管窥话语霸权 -- 天涯睡客
写这个短帖算是为这个帖子做个注释。
也是碰巧看到一片好文。
Ask No Questions, Tell No Truth
“I don’t know.”
Two blocks later. “Who’s the man in that statue?”
“Beats me.”
“What’s that big building with the point on top?”
“I haven’t a clue”
“Dad. Does it bother you if I keep asking questions?”
“If you don’t ask questions how will you learn?”
我要说的,还不止是这篇文章的内容,而是这篇文章本身的存在,昭示着统治阶层的自信满满。试问:
1。这篇文章有多少人看得到?
2。看得到的有多少人看得懂?
3。看得懂的有多少人愿意去思考?
4。愿意去思考的有多少人愿意将其化为自身行动的一个考虑因素?
5。愿意去实践的,又有多少人,在强大的帝国机器面前能起到作用?
这个网站的存在,其本身就是一种宣示:“这一方面,你们可以拥有言论自由了。”
什么叫话语霸权。
幸或不幸,中国离话语霸权还有一段距离。虽然与美国的对应舆论圈都已具雏形,但统治阶层还是比较顾忌民舆的。等到中国的民智“进化”到美国的程度,那就不用太过顾忌了。
谨记,当别人“允许”你拥有言论自由之时,便是你完全丧失言论自由之时。切切不要重蹈美国人的覆辙。
突然想到,这群人的行径很像是传销啊。只要他们的追随者队伍不断壮大,上线的地位就会水涨船高,自然也就能吃到更好的伙食了。
原稿:How American History Magazine Censored Palestine
不是要讨论巴勒斯坦,而是要看看在美国所谓的媒体“自由”
摘几段来看看:
In fact, Advertising Director Julie Kershenbaum gratuitously informed us that they would not publish it in any of the 10 other U.S. history magazines owned by the same company. She said that the chain’s CEO and publisher, Eric Weider, had personally made the decision.
The reason? CNI is allegedly “anti-Israel.”
According to an article in the San Jose Mercury News, “Tabloids Starry-Eyed for Schwarzenegger,” by Dion Nissenbaum, Pecker promised Weider that his tabloids would “lay off’’ Schwarzenegger and “not dig up any dirt” on the gubernatorial candidate. In fact, following its deal with Weider, American Media now seemed to be promoting Schwarzenegger.
The Mercury News reported that American Media produced a 120-page glossy magazine called Arnold, the American Dream, “crammed with flattering photographs” that auspiciously hit the streets just as Schwarzenegger headed into the final lap of his campaign for governor.
The next year, after Schwarzenegger became governor, Pecker made him executive editor of Flex and Muscle & Fitness, promising him an estimated $8 million over the next five years for helping to “further the business objectives” of the company, according to the LA Times.
我转这些文章的目的都是为了警告。美国人走的弯路我们都要知道,都要借鉴。
Even someone as establishment as Hillary Clinton says so: “In fact viewership of al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it’s real news. You may not agree with it, but you feel like you’re getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners.”
由之时,便是你完全丧失言论自由之时?
难道美国人比中国人蠢?
偶尔看到特别好的文章,会放在这儿和大家分享。
看看在帝国是如何对内的吧:
England's Two Countries:Fear of the People’s History
说好的社会福利呢?
说好的民主呢?
说好的言论自由呢?
说好的发展呢?

其实从某个角度来说,共产主义是天主教的anti-thesis。而基督教早期的发展,对现在中国毛泽东思想的发展有很重要的借鉴意义。
先是反对自由主义经济,然后就被指控是“马克思主义”,然后就说了句“虽然马克思主义是错的,但是许多马克思主义者是好人”,然后就“友邦惊诧”了。
其实看点是美国受众思想中那种固步自封。这是他们没有未来最大的证据之一。

For nearly two decades now, Beijing has worked through various witting and unwitting surrogates, many of them Westerners, to persuade the United States and Europe that China’s rise is somehow an illusion.
好吧,我承认,是在兔吧看到中文版本的才找到原版的。
看作者接下来要写什么。

写得真好。

亮点在最后两段:
There is a reason that we are enduring a decades-long race to the bottom. Although the corporate press would like you to believe the propaganda that vast fortunes result from the magical acumen of captains of industry, the reality is ruthless exploitation. Inequality does not fall out of the sky.
常常在想,马克思本来在西方基本上已经绝迹了。资本家到底要作多大死才能把他老人家重新呼唤回来。
The Ukraine, As We Know It, Is Gone Forever
只能再三摇头。人民的政治觉醒是很重要的。虽然在提升政治觉醒的过程中要付出代价,但是在关键时刻,人民的力量才能发挥出来,成为国家管理机构的坚强后盾。
2008年,再加上今年的香港,反观乌克兰、泰国、埃及,总觉得,中国有什么东西做对了。
准确一点的说,中国有什么东西是世界上大多数人(包括很多中国人)都认为是错误的经验,在关键时刻发挥了难以估计的力量。

那时乌东部平民被集体屠杀的事情被捅出来后,恰好在西西河看到“世界基本和平、美国情势大好”这样的论调,差点没有把滑鼠拍烂。
战争贩子是要被历史清算的。
在观察网看到这篇文章:
心下凛然,后再看评论,又稍觉宽慰。推荐大家仔细看看,同时也要看评论。
摘几段:
“被革命摧毁的政权几乎总是比它前面的那个政权更好。而且经验告诉我们,对于一个坏政府来说,最危险的时候通常就是它开始改革的时候。”
来源于对这个世界的解释权,什么时候中国有了对这个世界的解释权,华夏才会复兴
