What does the man in power look like in Tacitus's trap?
Tacitus' trap refers to an idea put forward by the ancient Roman historian Tacitus,** which is an extension of Tacitus's sentence in the book "History": "Once a ruler becomes the object of hatred, the good and bad things he does will arouse people's disgust with him." "This is not a direct quotation of Tacitus, but an extension and play. This view was later identified as a socio-political phenomenon or a law of political science, which refers to the fact that once a social institution loses its social credibility, no matter what it does or what it says, it will not arouse people's trust, but will be regarded as telling lies and doing bad things.
In the current world of self-praise and beauty, in the Internet age, through the excavation and discovery of netizens, some new social phenomena in the "Tacitus trap" have also been revealed. In fact, it doesn't matter who Tacitus is, it doesn't matter where he comes from, and it doesn't matter if his academic views are correct or not.
The important thing is that the point he makes does encapsulate that disgusting phenomena do exist in a muddy world. It also really makes people feel the cramped and difficult life of ordinary people under the ravages of power, and in the usual sense, the cry of ordinary people does not have the slightest effect.
How can you tell what the supremacist looks like in Tacitus' trap? It's really hard to say what to do when you encounter such a person, but you can clearly identify this kind of person. It is already a necessary means of survival in the current social life.
First of all, these people are both calculating and unsophisticated in their behavior, hurting each other while talking about collectivism, seemingly working hard and cheating and cheating, lustful and secretive, timid and babbling by nature, humble and arrogant, indifferent and numb in character, conformist and no spirit of contract.
Secondly, these people are both rigorous and unrealistic in language, talking about equality and democracy, and acting for the tiger, seemingly loyal but dark and despicable in their hearts, dirty and high-sounding, despicable in doing things, not only in front of them but also behind the scenes, open-mouthed, lawful, lawful, and compliant, and do things with a clear eye but no humanity at all.
Moreover, these people are both rich and exhausted in thought, talkative about strategic planning and have low eyes, seem to speak righteously and logically, and are actually wooden, and you feel that you have said everything, but you have not said anything. Talking eloquently, staring at reasoned and talking nonsense, doing things is a certainty and there is no implementability.
On the one hand, they have empathy for flattery, and they are happy when they are happy, and on the other hand, they have no empathy for the contempt of the people, and they will be set up when the people are comfortable. In the relationship, you can feel his superiority and inferiority complex at the same time, and do things in a disciplined and inhumane way.
In the end, these people are very direct and unupright in their opinions, and the fine is for safety and not for the purpose, but the fine must be collected; The feedback speech must be very well-founded and lawful, but the human nature and morality you talk about, even the truth and principles, and even common sense are completely ignored or even turned a blind eye, pretending to be deaf and dumb, pretending to be stupid, can be described as a master of playing dumb fans. On the surface, it seems that he is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and there are five people and six people, but if you go to reason with him at this time, there is no result, and it is inconvenient to receive it, so you can appeal. What laws and regulations have been replied to on this matter, and relevant personnel from relevant departments are still doing relevant investigations. In short, the truth of life has nothing to do with them, the moral conscience of human beings has nothing to do with him, and the public order and good customs of society have nothing to do with them. Some are just power games, human feelings in interpersonal relationships. The vibrating words on the political stage, and the wind and rain in the role of power, are the life needs of normalized performances.
Tacitus is a rare envoy of political civilization in Europe, and European and American scholars have summarized the appearance of the supremacy of power in the trap of Tacitus according to his thoughts, either ghosts or demons, and even many of them are demons. Because ghosts have the truth of ghosts, and demons have the law of demons, demons have the right to be stunned. They have the great achievements, the great initiatives, the great leadership that they preach. However, there is only a lack of truth, and there is no way to restore the true nature of the truth. Their world only has a story, a story blueprint, and a vigorous and upward trend in the story. Only there are no accidents, no truth.
There are many Tacitus traps in Western society, and there should not be many in Greater China, but as the descendants of the dragon, in the Year of the Dragon, we still need to keep our eyes open and be able to identify those unrecognizable and demonic Tacitus traps under the power people, so as not to make us unable to keep the world sober, let alone join the stream. The application of logic allows people to see the truth, learn the truth, find the truth, and seek the principle. Be a logical person who can see the true face of many periods and logically deduce the original truth of many things.
