右翼分子吐槽扯淡专楼
"The defense of individual rights has reached such extremes as to make society as a whole defenseless against certain individuals. It is time, in the West, to defend not so much human rights as human obligations.
On the other hand, destructive and irresponsible freedom has been granted boundless space. Society has turned out to have scarce defense against the abyss of human decadence, for example against the misuse of liberty for moral violence against young people, such as motion pictures full of pornography, crime, and horror. This is all considered to be part of freedom and to be counterbalanced, in theory, by the young people’s right not to look and not to accept. Life organized legalistically has thus shown its inability to defend itself against the corrosion of evil.
......
This tilt of freedom toward evil has come about gradually, but it evidently stems from a humanistic and benevolent concept according to which man—the master of this world—does not bear any evil within himself, and all the defects of life are caused by misguided social systems, which must therefore be corrected."

这个倒是早就出来了，很显然份量不够，所以 Niall Ferguson 一众出来加码。
不过那些小心思，「人民大众」是从来不会理，甚至永远看不见的。
现在的欧洲风向是：「谁敢抛弃泽连斯基，谁就要被人民抛弃」。对于美国这个需要保住实质边界的霸权而言，如今最称职的棋子就是乌克兰，远胜法、德、意、土。

最近 BOJO 又去了基辅，然后那一推在不到48小时之内，收到 68000+ 的赞，依然远超过他的其他推之和。回复中搞阴阳怪气的也只能用非直白的讽刺，而且马上被喷回去。
而前工党党魁 Jeremy Corbyn 在推特中极力避免 Ukraine 这个词，连批评「通胀」也只敢绕着走。他在5月唯一一次在政治投机中真正涉及到 Ukraine ：
Over a decade of austerity and the cost of living scandal has devastated our communities and caused the biggest decline of living standards for working class people in the UK for a generation.
The government must act now.
当然了，直言是绝对不敢的。
现任工党党魁 Keir Starmer 就更不用说了，这位在5月唯一一次真正提到 Ukraine 的内容是：
Great to meet with Norway's PM @jonasgahrstore.
We discussed the urgent need to protect people from rising energy costs and the ambition needed to deliver jobs of the future.
I also thanked the Norwegian people as Europe stands united against Russia's attack on Ukraine.
他连讲点儿「方向上不配合的」都不敢。这一条推只收到1200赞，他反以色列的那一条则是18300赞。
这种指标人物的指标性动作（风信鸡指标），反映的是无可争议的「英国人民心声」，属于实时获取的 primary source，只要能「作为人去理解」人行动的时间地点和场合所反映的真实内心状况，那些长篇累牍画蛇添脚的火星视角分析，其实全部都是自己嫌命太长的时间浪费，是嫌做人太无聊了，非要遮遮掩掩玩儿角色扮演，过一把那「高高在上的不可曰」之瘾。再不然，就是靠干这一行赚自己的棺材本儿。
何况，如今BoJo「流放非法入境者」的行动遭到所有需要难民才能继续发财的建制派一致抵抗，正是需要赢得「人民」支持方能踩扁所有障碍继续往前的关键时刻。
同理，拜登和民主党一众，远比美国人民更需要这场战争以目前这种「不过不失」的状态持续到年底。

照例讲两句务虚的。
心怀理想的勇士们，无论是在什么情况下站出来，总会有一天清醒地意识到，比起眼睛能盯着的星星，脚下能踩稳的地面不但绝对必要，而且在决定应该看哪颗星星这件事情上，比眼界和手腕重要得多。
奥巴马、拜登、默克尔、施罗德，还有明天就很可能成为哥伦比亚总统的 Mr. Petro ，这类人们的一个绝对共同点，就是「踩的地方永远不稳」，或者「一定选择绝对没法儿稳多久的下脚处」。
奥巴马在2009年说的第一番话就是：「大国争霸的时代已经过去……」
现在谁还记得？他的「自己人」？
