Some big Vs need to study more, learn English well, increase their knowledge, and learn more about the United States.
Two days ago, on the issue of border control in the United States, Texas Governor Abbott and Biden in the United States had a big war of words on **, and Abbott was interviewed by FOX to take a bite of the US Constitution and defend state rights. China's melon-eating masses naturally don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, so they move a small bench to eat melons and watch the show. For the sake of traffic, some big Vs will naturally exaggerate, saying that the United States is on the verge of "civil war" or something.
This is originally an American farce, and the Chinese will be over after watching it. The Chinese exaggerated two sentences of "American Civil War" are a kind of ridicule and an expectation. You have all kinds of bad things inside the United States, so take care of yourself first and don't toss the world.
As a result, some people in China can seize the opportunity to show that "everyone is drunk and I am sober" to show off their sense of superiority and patriotism. What to say about the "American Civil War" is the self-congratulatory of the Chinese.
Some people also use the past to satirize the present, take the Northern Song Dynasty as an example, saying that the Song Dynasty always has a naïve, lovely and deep-rooted stubbornness - they always want to use their own power logic to understand the news of the northern nomads, saying that the Song Dynasty can no longer understand, or even disdain to understand the political logic of the other party, and will only take it for granted in their own way of thinking. Of course, how wrong to do, saying that the Song Dynasty will always arrogantly use its own logic to interpret other people's news. In the first half of the article, I also borrowed the past to satirize the present, and I will say it directly laterChina's big minds don't understand the rules of the American political game at allYour self-congratulatory is only because you don't understand.
Some people seize every opportunity to show their "superiority", PUA Chinese people. But what about the reality?After reading a few translated Bibles of freedom and democracy, I feel that I am superior, and I estimate that my English proficiency is relatively poor, and I usually don't read much English**, and I actually don't know anything about the United States.
If you pay attention to the United States and political circles, you will know that the possibility of a civil war in the United States in the future has been a very serious topic of discussion in the United States in recent years. There are quite a few books, **and** reports. Because these contents are too alarmist and too far from the Chinese people's perception of the United States, they are rarely translated into Chinese.
Among those who hold the view that there may be a civil war in the United States, Bridgewater's Ray Dalio is more famous, and his remarks have been translated.
Of course, Dalio has always been "pro-communist" and has sung the praises of the United States and China, and many Chinese people who worship the United States cannot accept his views. However, if you pay attention to the United States on a daily basis, you will know that Dalio is far from alone who holds the "thesis that the United States may be in civil war".
Let's start with an article in the journal Science. It tells the results of a poll of more than 8,000 Americans.
One in five Americans believe violence for at least sometimes political reasons is justified. Nearly half of Americans believe that the United States will have a civil war in the near future, and more than 40 percent believe that having a strong leader is more important for the United States than having a democracy.
To say that the United States will have a civil war in the future is to simply not understand the rules of the American political game, and to be self-congratulatory. It seems that half of Americans don't understand American politics and are laughing at themselves.
In January and August 2022, The New Yorker magazine had two articles about the risk of civil war in the United States.
The New York Times also had more than one article about the American Civil War. For example, this one from January 2022.
Here's what it says:
As John Harris writes in Politico**"People who take this seriously now are talking about 'civil war,' not as a metaphor, but as a real precedent. And this certainly does not refer to all serious people. Harvard political scientist Josh Kotze wrote on Twitter that he knew many Civil War scholars, and "very few of them thought the United States was on the brink of Civil War." However, even some opponents of the Civil War narrative tend to admit that the United States is in a very precarious position.
The Politico article reads:
In fact, the United States now demonstrates all three core elements that could lead to civil unrest. If someone were to describe them — shattered elites with competing narratives, deep-seated identity divisions and politically polarized citizens — without naming America by name, most Civil War scholars would say, "Hey, that country is on the brink of a war." Civil war. How did we get here?The Guardian article:
Foreign Policy Article:
The Brookings Institution article cites another survey from 2021. Forty-six percent of Americans believe that a civil war is likely in the future, while 43 percent think it is unlikely.
The Washington Post article: It reads like this:
Some historians have sounded similar alarms. "How, when, and why did the United States come to the brink of a real civil war? Victor Davis Hansen, a historian at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, asked such a question in an article published in National Review last summer. Hansen said the U.S. was "close to 1860 levels," and about a year later, the first shots rang out at Fort Sumter, South Carolina.Of course, there is no civil war in the United States now. I also think that a civil war in the United States is unlikely in the future. Not for at least the next two decades. But at least one thing is certain, American scholars are very serious about studying and discussing the possibility of a future civil war in the United States. Some of these scholars believe that there will be a future civil war in the United States, while others believe that there will be no more. But even those who think it will not believe that the United States faces a dangerous and complicated situation.
They should all know the American political system, at least better than China's big Vs. Their discussion of the possibility of a future civil war in the United States is serious, not as a joke, nor as a so-called "self-congratulatory". Why does a big V in China think that he knows the United States better than American political scientists and **, and asserts that as long as he discusses the "American Civil War", he is smart and brainless? Who is the real brainless smart?
I've been watching "spiritual Americans" or "spiritual Japanese" on the web. To be honest, for a person who was born and raised in China, the imprint of Chinese culture is very heavy, and it is difficult to get rid of it completely. If you want to be completely "Americanized" or "Japaneseized" from head to toe, unless you go abroad at a very young age. If a Chinese is in China, it is even more impossible to completely Americanize.
There are also some people on the Internet who have gone to the United States and worked very hard to transform themselves in the hope of being completely Americanized. Now that you have decided to stay in the United States for the rest of your life, let's transform ourselves and become Americans. There is a big V on Weibo, and he is working very hard to transform himself. posted a Weibo before, saying that he was extremely excited to participate in an event, and the distance between him and Pelosi was only 3 meters. Then the Weibo did not call Pelosi's name directly, called Speaker Emerita. He recently posted another Weibo, saying that he donates to ** every week, and now he has started donating to senators. I'm a little weird, donate as much as you donate, why don't you save up and donate once, but divide it into weekly donations? Giving once is not enough, but giving every week is even more satisfying? I'm still afraid that I will spend it indiscriminately, and the first thing I do when I pay my salary is donation.
I don't know if this person has already joined the United States, if he hasn't joined and has no voting rights, he will start donating, which can be regarded as extremely devout to the heart of beauty. This friend should not be entangled between China and the United States.
I think it's okay for such a friend, go to the United States, become an American, and hope that he will be completely Americanized and become an American. Chinese Americans have low political participation, and it is good to get more involved in politics. Also, I hate Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, so thank you for this friend's donation.
I find it most incomprehensible that there are "spiritual Americans" in China. They use "exquisiteness" to support their sense of self-superiority. Americans are gods, and they themselves are angels close to God, so that they can despise ordinary Chinese. They seize every opportunity to belittle and despise ordinary Chinese, and use insulting expressions such as "little pink" and "love **" to show their superiority as "high-class Chinese".
However, these people have not lived in the United States for a long time, and the "America" in their minds is completely different from the United States in reality. They believe in their own illusion of America. At the same time,Probably because English is not very good, they don't read English very much**, and their understanding of the United States, in addition to their own hallucinations, is to rely on second-hand information in Chinese. When they see the term "American Civil War", their first impression is that this is a rumor spread by China's "great cleverness", and the United States is a beacon on earth, how can it be associated with "civil war".
It is suggested that these "spiritual Americans" need to study more, learn English well, increase their knowledge, and learn more about the United States. To do foreign propaganda for the United States, you must also be serious and understand the real United States.
