主题:管窥话语霸权 -- 天涯睡客
Andre Vltchek的文章很有特色。长,但是一般写得很好。
The mood on those protest sites was truly sordid; nothing grand, nothing optimistic, nothing really ‘revolutionary’.
就是一个不喜欢西方的俄裔美国人对此事发的牢骚。主要笔墨放在他的感受上了。一点理性客观的分析也没有。通篇的“恶心”、“憎恶”、“廉价”、“无知”。。。就是最后说了一句“需要重新考虑它自己的体制”就没了。末尾和维基上都说他是小说家(和其它一些头衔),看来他文章的风格和这个称呼还是相符合的。
虽然感觉他的屁股位置还算端正,但是这篇文章的意义是十分有限的。
看到了一篇文章说美国利益集团是如何控制乌克兰的,放在这里,提醒某些人提防带路党。
其中提到:
foolsjohnstoneUnion, in order to head the economic department of the newly opened U.S. embassy. Three years later she left the U.S. Embassy to head the U.S. government-financed Western NIS Enterprise Fund. In 2004 she established her own equity fund. As a supporter of the 2004 Orange Revolution, she served on “Orange” victor President Viktor Yushchenko’s Foreign Investors Advisory Council.
有没有人看过他的文章?他似乎在美国很被重视。如果美国决策者都是象他这样想事情的,事情很麻烦。
对这个领域熟悉的可否说一下看法?先谢过。
British values: Real and imagined
转这篇文章为的是这段:
Don’t get me wrong – Cameron is constantly at pains to point out that “the vast majority of law abiding British Muslims” share these values. But his very language leads us to believe that those Muslims who do share such values do so because of their Britishness, and despite their Islam. The danger of this narrative is multiple. Not only does it reinforce ignorant prejudices about Islam’s ‘aversion’ to democracy, the rule of law and tolerance – but it also justifies the rejection of such values by groups such as ISIS. For ISIS are the prime believers in Cameron’s message that such values are “British” and “Western.” And as people who hate Britain and the West and all it has done to the world, they feel duty bound to reject the values it espouses. Yet they forget that Islamic culture has a proud – and much longer – history of practicing them than does the “West” itself. And why do they forget this? Because they believe the distortions of their own history perpetrated by Cameron and his ilk. The more, therefore, that Cameron claims democracy, tolerance and the rule of law to be distinctly British phenomenon – insinuating all the while that they are not indigenous to Islam – the more that angry young Muslims, who have seen their homelands torn apart by Britain, are drawn into the orbit of those militant groups who reject these values.
我们是不是也忘了新中国是在民主的价值观上建立起来的?我们是否也忘了人民民主专政这六个字?
所能选取的最优选择,因为欧洲大陆/欧亚非大陆上的国家和文明一旦统一或整合,像英国这样的岛国和像美国这样的远离欧亚非大陆的新大陆文明则必然受到威胁,甚至是致命威胁,这不是以他们和我们意志为转移的。大家可以认为中国爱好和平,致力于发展经济,不会和美国产生冲突,但是就经济层面来讲,一个整合过的亚洲所能爆发出来的生产力和能够利用的智力资源会远远地把孤悬海外的美国给甩出八条大街之外去,而经济基础决定上层建筑,一旦经济上被淘汰,整个盎格鲁萨克逊统治集团被清算也就为时不远了。就算我们不去和美国硬杠,致力于整合亚洲,美国人的日子也会相当难过。亚洲如此,欧洲如此,前苏东集团国家亦是如此,所以美国为了自己的利益,必然会向这几个地方下蛆。
我把美英的离陆平衡战略称为“彼岸幽灵”,这是一个根本就摆脱不了的东西,只要你自己成为美国人,站到美国人的角度上分析自己的战略优势,战略困境和战略选择,就必然会选择这种离陆平衡战略,用各种明的暗的,上台面不上台面,各种光明与丑恶的手段去破坏大陆国家。
大家可以骂美国战争贩子,而我却更愿意用更理性更客观的角度看美国美国人和美国的国家战略。但是我越理解美国美国人和美国的国家战略,我就越同意把美国拆成七八十块,只有一个支离破碎的美国,才有欧亚非大陆的整合与安定。
当然明白在Rimland和heartland之间制造矛盾是他们的战略选择。
但是理性的理解不妨碍我对战争贩子的愤怒,及对无辜人民发自内心的同情。反之亦然。
十年前可能这样的人属于比较偏激的,他自己也说他那时的话很难入得了多数人的耳,但现在貌似这人的意见就比较主流了。
看有关介绍,Mearsheimer在2003,2004时准确预测俄罗斯对北约东扩而引发对乌克兰战争,与反恐战争将在战略上陷入泥潭的未来。目前中美紧张局势中他的观点就很有代表性并引人注目了。
有意思的是他自己演讲中说曾经花了很多时间到访中国,这些年在中国进行过不下二,三十此的演讲,而且在地缘战略上与中国人很有共同语言,听他演讲感觉他抱持美国战狼型观点,那么倒也不意外😄。
