"What are the hooligans like"
(slide down to see more)
In September 2012, Cai Yang, a 21-year-old bricklayer, joined a protest against Japanese goods in the streets of Xi'an. After a Toyota car was surrounded by angry people, Cai Yang, a hot blooded man, was excited and trembled. He raised the cold U-shaped lock and knocked hard on the owner's head, causing a level 5 disability.
In July 2016, Zhao Wei, an Internet superstar, split the country, collaborated with the Freemasons, funded Hillary Clinton to control the United States and control the mainstream media opinion in one hand. These rumors are conspiracy theories, but they have become the logic of the whole society;
In April 2019, a local spice tycoon participated in a terrorist attack in a series of explosions in Sri Lanka. His father instigated his son to carry out a suicide bomb attack. When his mother was arrested, he blew up three children himself.
Why does an ordinary bricklayer become a cruel thug?
Why do so many people believe that rumors and conspiracy theories can't stand scrutiny?
Why do people still believe in terrorism and act like gods when they know it's reckless?
"The logic behind the phenomenon"
"As soon as people come to the group, their IQ is seriously reduced. In order to gain recognition, individuals are willing to abandon right and wrong, and exchange IQ for a sense of belonging that makes people feel safe."
——The mob by Gustav Le Pen
More than 100 years ago, Gustav Le Pen, a French psychologist, explained the mystery behind these phenomena in his book the mob. This is the power of "hooligans", with some very different characteristics.
It is through the transition form of "psychological hooligans" that the individuals who gather have completed the transformation from heterogeneity to homogeneity and become the unconscious group, crazy, blind and dementia.
In daily life, the melon eaters are all experienced in all kinds of battles, often just after the group's passion and indignation, the event has a dramatic reversal; or just after finding a strange and amazing big melon and calling friends to watch it, they know that it's just a rumor, and all the melons are gone.
Why is the false news so popular that everyone is interested in it? Why does bad media flourish everywhere? Why is cyber violence common?
"Open the mob and find your answer"
People just want to see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. For groups, what matters is not the facts, but the imagined facts. Therefore, the rumors of winning by novelty hunting are very popular, because they greatly satisfy the imagination of the group.
In the era of "public noise" written by Tolstoy, people pursue fast access to information, choose the "truth" they think from the mass of information, and make a voice for it, furious for it, but the truth is often ambiguous. Before the truth came to the surface, rumors first occupied the high ground of public opinion and pushed the public mood to the edge of out of control. When the truth came, the melon eaters who were too deep into the drama found that the "justice" they chanted and chanted repeatedly was floating on the illusion. The huge gap breaks and reconstructs the cognition of events.
"The masses have never aspired to the truth, they turn a blind eye to the evidence that is not to their taste. If fallacies tempt them, they are more willing to worship them. "
