What is the experience of pretending to even be abused? ——The farce of the Shanghai Formal Nucleic Acid Ceremony |

Today's content is very subjective. It's to humiliate some people who pretend to be aggressive. Let's first look at a set of pictures. This is a photo of some communities in Shanghai who attended the nucleic acid testing ceremony a few days ago. Some reports say Shanghai is using its sophisticated image to thank medical staff across the country. There were people in suits, wedding dresses, the whole family in full costumes, and even some creatures who didn't know the truth. In the face of this dramatic and absurd performance, whether it is personal freedom or terminal illness, today we will talk about this topic.

Hello everyone, I'm Marley, this is a small channel that advocates thinking and tearing fifty cents. In each issue, we will combine a political and economic case to explore the reasons behind it and different thinking dimensions.

It is not the first time to talk about human confusion in Shanghai. I did a program analyzing the Prada market in Shanghai before. In that episode, we talked about how international luxury brands use the vanity of the Chinese to achieve their own publicity effects. However, the car was almost overturned by the international celebrities in Shanghai. After one shot, what was left were discarded vegetable leaves and paper bags resold on idle fish. However, the nucleic acid event in costume this time was nothing more than a clumsy performance by the same group of people surrounded by eyeballs. Coupled with the unified narrative of the marketing accounts, a fashion news full of positive energy came out. What I want to express is nothing more than two points of view, one is that Shanghai people are very good, and the other is that Shanghai people are very good.

And the underlying logic here is nothing more than "quality equals quality", and it doesn't seem to be a big problem at first glance. Therefore, in the negative news of Shanghai's sorrow and grief, this can be regarded as a clear stream that can successfully divert people's attention. But since I am a staunch anti-conspiracy theorist, I will not analyze whether this behavior is an organized public opinion shift without evidence here. I'm just talking about the behavior itself, I'm sorry, it's really disgusting to me again.

Let's first refute the so-called quality that represents quality ethics. Strictly speaking, there is no natural relationship between the two. Quality generally describes whether a product meets certain standards in the manufacturing process, while quality generally refers to whether people's behaviors and thoughts can meet certain recognized standards. Simply put, one is materialism and the other is idealism. However, under the organic combination of capitalism and consumerism, as a marketing method and brainwashing method for nearly a hundred years, the quality of commodities has begun to be associated with the class and quality of people, deeply implanted in people's minds, and slowly This equivalence concept is formed. Shanghai, which was once the largest city in the Far East, has also been internationalized as early as the 1930s. In addition to those tycoons, the first batch of petty bourgeoisie with material as the standard has also formed, including the underground party of the CCP at that time. Representatives of the petty bourgeoisie . So this seems to have a historical endorsement for the exquisite tradition of Shanghai people.

Everyone should know the story behind it. Shanghai has been in chaos for years. In the decades after 1949, although it was China's leading city, it has already been beaten beyond recognition by the iron fist of socialism, let alone say anything. A sense of quality and a little bourgeois temperament. With the advent of reform and opening up, Shanghai has only reopened as a port. Coupled with its natural geographical advantages, Shanghai seems to have quickly caught up with the decades it lost. It is an indisputable fact that Shanghai and many Shanghai people have a natural sense of superiority and xenophobia due to the former glory and the treatment of top students. But as the first-generation old Kellers gradually retired from the stage, this xenophobia was overshadowed by the influx of new immigrants and foreigners. Coupled with a large number of film and television promotions in the visual style of "International Magic Capitalism" represented by Guo Jingming, it can be said that Shanghai has become an international city that can be as famous as New York, Tokyo, Paris and Milan in the minds of young people across the country. Compared with other cities, Shanghai has more and more decent job opportunities and decent salaries, so that the new Shanghainese have gradually formed a new sense of superiority and discrimination chain, namely "Shanghai Qualityism". On the one hand, it comes from nostalgia for old Shanghai, on the other hand, it comes from the self-definition of new immigrants. So I estimate that the well-dressed Alex and Samanthas representing Shanghainese in the photo are most likely born in the rural areas of northern Jiangsu, or perhaps from a small town in the free shipping area. (No contempt here)

It is often this kind of larger identity transformation that cares so much about the so-called sense of ritual and quality. And this is the standard recognition of today's urban young people in China. It is not how much they respect themselves and others, but the expression of this "sense". The point is that this kind of "feel" should be obtained by others and form a positive feedback for oneself. As for what the real self is like, it is no longer the point.

Chinese are taught from childhood to obey authority and obedience, in order to conform to the ideal society's definition of human beings. Most parents only like to show their children's best side. It is covered up because the real self has never had the opportunity to be understood and respected by society. The consequence of this is that people have been in a state of split personality for a long time, pretending to be polite and good children in front of their elders, pretending to be omnipotent parents in front of their children, and pretending to be modest and motivated in the company Employees, over time, this disguised personality has become their own personality, because they know that only this kind of personality can obtain their own material and spiritual rewards.

The extremely empty spiritual life and the pressure of reality make the Chinese people unable to find a suitable way to express their sense of existence, so this kind of person performance has become the only way to express their spiritual world. With the vigorous development of social media and short videos, this form of expression has been greatly amplified and exaggerated, becoming a social phenomenon, and even extreme involution. For example, the virtual characters with the lowest threshold are patriotism and family affection. There is no difference between the two, which is the sense of belonging of consumers. Let's take family affection as an example, to set this very personal emotion as a flag, and it does not require any skills and packaging, you just need to express it. For example, on Mother's Day, sending a message to express my love for my mother in the circle of friends was originally a matter of calling or WeChat or even going home for a meal, and it had to be advertised. Undoubtedly, it will form an invisible moral kidnapping for those who do not express it so as to reflect their sense of family superiority. According to my personal experience and the sharing of netizens, people who often post this kind of Moments are not so good to their mothers in private, and even have some criticisms. This is their true feelings. Therefore, from the early manifestations of beauty and talent, to the present show of love, struggle, family happiness, and quality, showing all kinds of 360-degree soul-free MSG soup in the world, filling the whole world Social network.

The serious involution, coupled with the long-term disguise of personality and the inability to show the true self, forced the quasi-influencers and institutions who want to go out of the circle to spend all their creativity on how to be more eye-catching and have no bottom line. superior.

For example, some time ago, Fo Yuan, Sick Yuan, Young Children Yuan, and the recent public welfare Yuan have constantly refreshed people's values. In essence, all kinds of "yuan" culture are a kind of weird soft porn culture without real porn living space, which makes you have a sense of superiority that you want me but can't get me, that is, the so-called "saucy" can be , but you can't "disturb", there are also a lot of such accounts on Twitter. If you add monasteries, hospitals, young mothers, volunteers and other seemingly harmless roles to humans and animals, this strong sense of contrast can quickly stimulate people's curiosity, so as to achieve the effect of rapid dissemination and earning traffic.

Let's go back to the phenomenon of dressing up for the nucleic acid test this time, which is essentially a clumsy performance that wants to use the sense of contrast to show a sense of superiority. On the surface, it wants to convey that we are a group of loving, humorous, quality, tasteful and respectful people. The image of modern Shanghainese. However, this characteristic seems to be unable to form a standard of behavior, so it can only be expressed in the most superficial form of makeup and wearing, so all kinds of strange costumes, absurd cosplay like Halloween are presented in front of everyone, making people feel Embarrassed. I believe that the inner os of many Dabai is, I will serve you for a few days and nights. What do you mean by showing off your head and showing your posture, am I here to appreciate your makeup and clothing taste? Are you respecting me or laughing at me? Many people disapprove of the criticism and think it is personal freedom, which further shows that in fact, you are just looking for an excuse to pay tribute to others to show yourself, and you will not consider whether it is disgusting to others. Instead of such a well-dressed performance, it is better to say a sincere thank you and concern.

In a healthy society, personal taste and quality are based on social rules, and are internalized in people's brains and habits. They are not conforming to the crowd and respect the feelings of others. The temperament of a real gentleman or old Kehler is elegance and decency. The so-called elegance and decency is to be displayed in the right occasion and the appropriate demeanor, which is the respect for the corresponding activities and those who participate in the activities. Showing your own taste by the way Nothing wrong with that. You have been locked up and you have to do some new tricks to get attention. As long as I am not embarrassed, the embarrassment is the deformed psychology of others. As if you had to wear a sexy red skirt at a funeral, it doesn't seem to violate any rules, but it's hard to say anything about the disruption of the atmosphere and the discomfort of others.
