Why Do Vested Interests Unanimously Praise Such a Shameless and Degraded Opening Ceremony?

Such a shameless and degraded opening ceremony has, unsurprisingly, received unanimous praise from vested interests. Why? This is probably the most thought-provoking question after the ceremony. This ID does not wish to give a so-called answer, because anyone with even a shred of conscience, anyone whose conscience is still human and hasn't been fed to the dogs, already has the answer as clear as a mirror in their heart.

Setting aside everything else, let's just talk about that so-called "Harmony" (和), which was performed as "Harmony is Precious" (和为贵). This shameless castration was presented as the essence of Chinese civilization? Please—even the most dim-witted person knows that the "Harmony is Precious" in the Analerta is not something Confucius said. It was You Zi. This ID has previously discussed at length the stupidity of Confucius's disciples. Yet even a disciple as dim-witted as You Zi was not so shameless as to present "Harmony is Precious" in the manner of that opening ceremony. There were preconditions: "In the practice of ritual, harmony is what is prized. This is what made the way of the former kings beautiful; small and great matters alike followed it. Yet there are things that do not work—if one knows only harmony for harmony's sake but does not regulate it with ritual, that too will not work." Any Chinese person should know that this has absolutely nothing to do with the "Harmony is Precious" of Zhang So-and-so and other vested interests!

Likewise, the "Within the Four Seas, All Are Brothers" (四海之内皆兄弟), which Zhang So-and-so used three thousand people to defile, comes from Zi Xia. But even so, it does not carry the shameless meaning that Zhang So-and-so and others impose. Any Chinese person should be able to understand the following words: Sima Niu sorrowfully said, "Everyone has brothers, I alone have none!" Zi Xia replied, "I have heard it said: 'Death and life are decreed by fate, wealth and honor depend on Heaven.' A gentleman is reverent and makes no errors, is respectful to others and observes ritual propriety—within the four seas, all are brothers. Why should a gentleman worry about having no brothers?"

The Analerta, even at its most shameless level of interpretation, cannot breach the following bottom line: the distinction between humans and beasts. The Analerta, even in its most shameless interpretation, tells us most unambiguously that this world contains beasts in human clothing. Toward beasts in human clothing, only their own kind would practice "Harmony is Precious" or "Within the Four Seas, All Are Brothers" with them. Any upright, standing human being would, toward beasts in human clothing and beastly nations, only seek to destroy them with righteous fury!

No need to say more. The truths of this world are fundamentally simple—what matters is conscience. If your conscience has been fed to the dogs, if you have a dog's conscience, then at most you are a beast in human clothing. Beasts have no right to speak of the Analerta, much less the right to represent so-called Chinese civilization in performance. And anyone who whitewashes for vested interests can only be a beast in human clothing!

The most basic conscience of an upright, standing human being:

First, the motherland is the motherland, the government is the government. The government is a servant; the motherland is a mother. Those who confuse the government with the motherland or even enthusiastically mouth off about it are beasts who treat their mother as a servant—anyone may execute them!

Second, Chinese civilization, including the Analerta, has as one of its greatest spirits: dynasties can be changed, eras can be replaced. Any servant who tries to confuse its master, who doesn't treat the master as a person in front of the master, will ultimately be smashed to pieces. This is the true Chinese culture!

Third, any government can only be a servant. Government officials are even more so servants. Any upright, standing human being is a master and must have the mindset of a master. Evil servants must be disciplined. In any country, the more upright, standing people there are, the fewer chances evil servants have. Those who willingly lick the boots of evil servants don't even qualify as beasts in human clothing—they must be inhumanely annihilated!

Fourth, all expenses of servants come from the master. All operations and funds of any government come from taxpayers. Those who don't respect taxpayers have no right to govern. A good servant comes from the rod—the government is meant to be criticized by taxpayers. Doing a good job is the bounden duty of the government and its officials; no praise is needed. If they perform poorly, they step down and let those who can do better take over. This is natural and right!

Fifth, the most shameless concept is the so-called "parent official" (父母官). Parents are parents; officials are merely servants. "Parent official" means "parent's servant"—if that's not beastly, what is? Officials should only be regarded as servants. Those who feel uncomfortable with that can simply not serve—nobody's begging you!

Alright, no more writing. Only when more and more people can achieve these points will the Chinese people truly stand up!

Finally, it must be added: the motherland is not something to be "loved." For this ID, the motherland is more like this kind of land—this ID is willing to let flesh rot within it, let bones dissolve into it. Even if all of one's blood is used only to water a single flower within it, so that she may bloom more radiantly on a not-so-bright morning, this ID is willing!
