You need to read books plus｜The more security guards at the school gate of your child, the higher your social status

There’s a joke that says, the more security guards at your child’s school gate now,

It shows your higher social status,

I can’t laugh at this kind of hellish joke.

News of indiscriminate attacks on strangers is growing at a visible rate,

You can’t comment at all,

You can only fall into fear, powerlessness, and grief.

There are no more complex truths.

Anyone who cares about this society,

Knows what happened,

What caused it,

And also knows what awaits society.

There is no need to emphasize common sense anymore,

You can’t stop a person who is determined not to live.

Severe punishments, various institutions and media shouting “zero tolerance”,

May scare some people away,

Reduce the probability and extent of violence,

But a person who is disillusioned, possessed, and has given up,

No system can prevent it.

Society has always been so fragile.

Human society can function normally,

Built on everyone’s absolute rational expectations,

You go out every day, you will assume that everyone will stop at red lights and go at green lights,

You scold those thugs and murderers as perverts, demons, and beasts,

You feel good in your heart, but it’s useless,

You dehumanize the murderer, who is an exceptional scum and pervert, and call for punishment and retribution,

Society not only abandons its responsibility, indulges in emotional venting and moral pleasure,

But also once again gives up the opportunity to protect its own safety,

Besides seriously understanding and studying people’s motives, there is no other way.

We need in-depth reporting! We need in-depth reporting! We need in-depth reporting!

A well-known German lawyer pointed out in his debut work “Crime”:

Few people say when they wake up in the morning: Okay, I’m going to commit a crime today!

However, everyone can commit a crime.

He has written about the experiences of many murderers, drug offenders, bank robbers, and prostitutes,

Everyone has their own story, and they are not much different from us.

He compares the people of a society to dancing on the same thin ice,

It’s just that sometimes the ice layer beneath us can just bear the weight,

And the ice under some people is suddenly disturbed and cracks,

So he fell down.

We naturally have two choices: watch the person drown quietly,

Or, reach out and pull him up,

And then we observe his condition when he falls into the water, and look closely at the structure and texture of the ice layer.

What we really need is the reflection, participation, and collaboration of the entire social system,

Education, media, judiciary, social safety net,

Let people be noticed, be seen, and feel accepted.

Every kind of evil must have its own time.

We have been cultivated in a set of struggle narratives since we were young,

It’s from one exam hall to another,

From one sweatshop to another,

Stripping away the embellished words,

The more real face is competition, elimination, comparison, and mutual harm among neighbors.

Indiscriminate killings are indeed no longer accidental,

But a symptom of the periodic onset of the disease of society,

A society that lacks faith in goodness and mutual assistance is a society where others are hell.

If your neighbor is unhappy, your happiness is an illusion.

Many people think that this sentence is just the moral indulgence of the white left,

But social science has always believed that this is a utilitarian trade-off in modern society.

Making your neighbor happy is by no means the result of individual efforts.

It’s very cruel that people’s real psychological bottom line,

It’s not about social justice, “How could this happen?”

But “(I) have earned so much money, squeezed into a first-tier city middle-class community,

Why would this happen (to me)?”

People vote with their feet, and are willing to continue to bury themselves under the heavy pressure of life for the safety of the next generation,

Be a milk powder refugee, a vaccine refugee, an air refugee.

People will also collectively recite that famous scripture:

“First they came for xxxx, and I did not speak out;”

Then they came for xxxx, and I did not speak out;”

Later they came for xxxx, and I did not speak out…”

Finally they came for me. But no one stood up for me anymore.”

When reciting this, it seems that everyone is really beginning to reflect on the fact that “I didn’t speak out”.

But in fact, it’s not, most people’s emphasis falls on the last sentence:

“No one stood up for me anymore”

Why didn’t the alarm go off earlier?

Where did the gatekeepers go?

The occurrence of a public crisis,

It must be the successive failures of every link,

In the end, no one can be outside of it.

No matter where you are,

In this system,

Don’t hide, everyone is a gatekeeper.
