Why the US election tore the Chinese community apart: Let's avoid using the word "Chuanfan"

There was some misunderstanding among the people that led to this completely pointless quarrel...

We recently shared some insights on the 2020 U.S. election with a number of Chinese friends, and we heard similar views, as described in the following tweet:

In fact, this sentence is generally correct. However, because it lacks the most important step of thinking , it completely fails - Trump can indeed be described as a "Democratic Party without hypocrisy", but that does not mean that all the problems of the Democratic Party are just hypocrisy.

1. It was Obama who initiated the first peak of data-driven election interference , seen here at "The Kings' Dinner - It's an Invisible Coup "; while Trump escalated it to global notoriety The strengthening of the industrial chain of intervention, see here: " The Secret of Psychological Manipulation: "Behavioral Economics" + PR=? [video] The Secret of Psychological Manipulation: "Behavioral Economics" +PR=? , and The Digital Struggle for Election Campaigns: The 2020 Presidential Race ; we’ll have a dedicated article on this shortly.

2. The Obama era was the most horrific phase of catching whistleblowers , hobbling the transparency revolution; Trump escalated the battle by suing the founder of the world’s best whistleblower platform: 175-year prisoner Threats, see here: From Assassination of Personality to Murder of Truth .

3. The evil deeds exposed by the Democratic Party :

• Torture and Lies
• Iraq War Diary: Torture, Rape, Murder, Hidden Civilian Deaths
• Toxic Waste Dumping and Covering Evidence
• "Collateral Murder": War Crimes, Murder of Journalists and Civilian Children
• Revelations of Countless Misconduct, Clinton Administration's Unlawful Surveillance of Allied Political Leaders and Senior UN Officials
• The Syria Dossier: On How the West Supports Assad's Regime's Atrocities
• Intelligence files: Expose CIA covert operations, informants, money laundering, covert surveillance of dissidents and activists
• Secret trade agreements, collusion between government and multinational corporations
• NSA goals: Political espionage, economic espionage against other world leaders and the UN secretary general
• DNC corruption sabotages Bernie Sanders campaign, colluded with media
• Vault7, the cyber weapon for CIA spying worldwide
• ...

Trump's evil deeds :

And, "The Trump Administration's War on the Media Is Different From the Obama Era, It Has Got Darker ."

In 2016, when Julian Assange responded to a reporter's question "Do you support Hillary or Trump", he replied: "It's a choice between cholera and gonorrhea" ; in 2020, Ai Weiwei was responding to a question from netizens, "Do you support Trump." When Trump was still Biden," he replied: "Between eating shit and drinking urine, I chose to fast." The above is why they say this.

Democrat or Republican? Red pill or blue pill? Potatoes or Potatoes? ... you shouldn't answer such a question. Awakening from the Matrix is not easy. For 4 years, all the so-called mainstream media (indeed you have to call it corporate media ) have been trying to dominate the "everything is Trump's problem" narrative which is completely false and misleading - right It was this misdirection that helped the Democrats get away with reforming their own ills (which they probably didn't even want). The propaganda works, and most people agree that "Trump is the only culprit."

We recommended a book last year: " The Origin of Trump's Rise ", written 7 years before Trump's rise*, and it already discusses in detail why someone like Trump will emerge as a leader in the future - The culture that produced him, the environment that nourished him -- if people knew that, they wouldn't listen to the corporate press. Because Biden's victory only removes one Trump, but not the deep soil of Trumpism, which is the source of the disaster .

👇 Below is a post made before the election .

In the United States. 2 popular views among voters are wrong :

• "I voted for Biden for anti-fascism" - no, you can't do it, on the contrary, the complacency brought about by this idea will really hinder anti-fascism;
• "Trump will be liquidated" - no, this will not happen, DC's tradition is to shield each other and destroy each other's evidence;

Whatever happened in the Trump era will continue in the Biden era. But voting for Biden is where the citizens really start to fight .

4. Here I would like to quote an analogy to illustrate the relationship between the two parties : There is a difference between Democrats and Republicans, like the difference between a jab and a cross in boxing. Jabs are often used to trap opponents and set up more damaging crosses, but they're both wielded by the same boxer, both dedicated to slapping you.

That's it, that's what the rebels of the moment need and must understand.

As mentioned above, Biden and his Democrats are not the answer, it's just a step, the starting point for real democratizing change. Choosing Biden is not progress, on the contrary, it is going back to where it was 4 years ago; but this time , let go of the cynicism of the year and really start the battle.

That's why to vote for Biden, if you don't vote, you won't even have a starting point.

We are not going to discuss too much about the anti-democratic plans of democratic activists in the United States, and presumably Chinese readers will not be interested in learning about them; This opportunity to resist - just as those who chose Trump in 2016 did not choose Trump, but a "possibility of change."

5. The most common expression we have heard in our exchanges in the past few days is that the main reason for the Chinese to support Trump is Trump's actions against China.

We think this reason is completely understandable.

However, it must be said that starting from 2016, anyone elected to the US president will take similar measures against China, perhaps in slightly different ways, but the escalation of competition between China and the US can be said to be basically inevitable .

The IYP began using the adjective "The Man in the High Castle" to describe Sino-US relations in 2015, before Trump's campaign; whether you have read this famous novel by Philip Kindred Dick, or the same name It is not difficult to understand the story described in this work through a simple search - the situation of two countries competing for hegemony and cutting the world, we explained its meaning in the introduction to the list of "The Man in the High Castle" 👇:

If you've read the articles on this list , you'll understand enough to understand what this passage in the picture above is trying to convey.

Every war/struggle is about resources and money, if you ever realize this in your understanding of wars in history, and see how the fight for oil and energy has resulted in a bloody fight, you won't have a hard time Understand why the current Sino-US hegemony is bound to happen - yes, data; this is why countless scholars have called data the "new oil" in recent years.

Data power is the greatest power in the world today, far surpassing oil energy in history. This is not a secret that Trump has discovered, and the growing parity between China and the United States in their ability to dominate the world is not "sudden" in the Trump era; what".

Most people are familiar with the phrase "if the United States can't ***, China will." Yes, it has been circulated by countless American scholars and so-called hawks through corporate media, and the above is why.

It was also before the election that The Economist believed that the Biden era's "attitude" towards China would not be softer than Trump's, and here we see " Will the Biden administration be "softer" than Trump on China? "—that article was badly written, but we adopted it because the question was important; it was badly written because the Economist didn't make it clear. While its conclusion is true (you might have to work a little harder to get used to The Economist's impotent pen...).

Regular readers of the IYP know that we have little interest in geopolitical struggle unless it threatens the interests and rights of citizens; this is because we have always believed that democratic change requires a homegrown effort , and we are committed to this, for Content was produced to help the local resistance fully develop and collected in a separate list called "Direct Action" .

As we explained in response to questions in last year's interview: We believe people rely on "foreign aid" because they don't have enough confidence to do it themselves; real strength and ability will be the best way to help you build that confidence , maybe the only way . See the full story here: " Be the Change You Want to See in the World": Afternoon Tea with IYP .

Like you, we hope that democracies can "win" autocracies, but how? The only way is: one of the parties is *true democracy. Only justice can suppress evil. Evil is a bottomless abyss. In the end, no one can win unless someone breaks this situation and walks out of the world of The Man in the High Castle. That's what Philip Kindred Dick wanted to warn about in writing this story .

Unfortunately, in the age of Trump, the Bi-evil continues to escalate, and! We predict it will not end in the Biden era.

Some examples:

• The Hypocrisy of the Huawei War: The Balkanization of Technology
• " One of the mainstream publications says: US 'needs' internet censorship like China's "
• " Digital Autocracy and the Battle of the Democratic Paradigm "
• ……there are more

All in all, once again, if you've read our "Man in the High Castle" column, this question needs no further elaboration. Soon there will be a new article devoted to this issue once again.

To be honest, this article is not written for long-time IYP readers because, if you have been reading our content and the books we offer, you will answer all of the above questions in more detail and completeness than I can. But we still did this article, to string things together to illustrate our ideas. We look forward to seeing truly good democracy in China in the future, which depends on the efforts of our Chinese friends watching the US election on the Internet today -- your strength and wisdom, your judgment and insight .

Knowing the above, there will be no "fan/black war".

Basic information as a citizen👇

For example: We refuse to use the word "Chuanfan", because we believe that every kind of support has a reason, it is better to understand each other's reasons through dialogue; if it is blind support without a reason, it will not be enough to be accepted at all. consider. Therefore, the word "Chuanfen" is meaningless. We encourage all conversations except for abuse, it must be except for abuse, because IYP is very inept when it comes to swearing...  

• Regarding Biden , the current view " Will the new Biden administration release whistleblowers? 》—— This is the beginning of the resistance
