Coquettish Rebirth

That's right, Jia Hongjian in such a play forced Bain closer to fascism. It seems that Europe and the United States are very vigilant about things like fascism and Nazis. It is said that if someone in Germany defends against fascists or Nazis, it is said that they may all be sentenced!But to be honest, the so-called vigilance against fascists and Nazis is just that everyone thinks they are very vigilant!When a real fascist wants to start propaganda and start brainwashing, will he still write himself a fascist on his face?Is it like a MLM person who writes the word MLM directly on his face as soon as they meet?They must try to fool as much as possible!

Regarding the matter of fooling people, many people usually think that they are so smart and won't be fooled by others, but in fact these people really don't necessarily have any resistance if they really want to be fooled by others!For example, in the novel "The Wave" by Germany's Todd Strasser, there is a story about creating a fascist-like dictatorship, corruption, and totalitarianism in a democratic society under modern civilization. How long does it take for a social organization?How long will it take to transform a group of middle school students who are accustomed to freedom and even looseness into cold and fanatical neo-Nazis?The answer is - 5 days!Later, such a novel was adapted into a German movie, and "The Wave", a "thriller" without any ghosts and monsters, reveals such a fact.In this film, the only mysterious things are people.

At the beginning of the new semester, the school held an activity week with the theme of "National System".The talented and energetic physical education teacher Reiner Wenger (El) had already chosen the course of "Anarchy", but unexpectedly, his colleagues took the lead; he had no choice but to accept the teaching of "Dictatorship" Task.In class, the students showed disdain and agreed that Nazi Germany could not be reproduced in modern society.Facing these students who mostly attended for credits, he had a whim.Decided to organize an event to give students a taste of real authoritarian politics.Thus, "The Wave" was born.The students who were aroused agreed on a unified logo - a red wave logo, white shirts for clothing and hand gestures - making a wave-like gesture on the chest, while Mr. Wen Geer asked the students to be serious He respectfully calls himself "Mr. Wenger".When he was in class, he ordered the students to stand up and stride forward collectively, disturbing the "anarchism" classroom downstairs.After a brief run-in.Everyone adapted and fell in love with it.

As a result, the excited students either pasted or graffitied, and the "Wave" logo appeared in every corner of the city overnight. An extremely fanatical student even climbed up a building that was still in the building with his bare hands regardless of the danger of his life. Atop a building he built, he spraypainted a giant logo on the dome—the logo on the upper floor made headlines the next day; he also carried a pistol, defended himself, and even sat in Wenger’s Outside the house, Mr. Wen Geer, the leader who defended himself... After that, the "wave" continued to grow.The students even spontaneously occupied a sports field in the school, and non-members of the "wave" were not allowed to enter.Gradually, some students, as well as Wen Geer's master's wife, sensed that something was not quite right.They persuaded him to stop this farce immediately, but at this time he was already immersed in a huge desire for power and a sense of accomplishment and couldn't extricate himself.He used to feel inferior because of the disparity in educational background between himself and his wife, but in the "wave" he felt unprecedented satisfaction.Those awakened students tried every means to prevent the continuation of the activities, but were regarded as traitors by their classmates and were isolated or even retaliated against.

finally.The resolute departure of his wife and the violent fight among the students in a water polo match on the fifth day made Wen Geer aware that the situation was out of control.then.On the sixth day, he summoned all members of the "wave" to the auditorium, pointing out the horrors of what they had done in the past week, intending to end the course there.It was too late, however, when the fanatical student suffered a nervous breakdown, shot and wounded a classmate before committing suicide.At the end of the film, Wen Geer was taken away by the police.And the awakened students hugged each other and cried... Look, it's really easy to fool people!But using such a novel to prove that people are easy to be fooled, isn't it a bit...too childish?It's a bit of a joke, and it's not a joke!Why do you say that?Because this novel is inspired by a real event!It can be said that such a novel is adapted from real events!

In April 1967, Long Jones, a history teacher at Palo-Alto-Cubberley High School in California, USA, was overwhelmed by students' questions when he was teaching about Nazi Germany: "Why did the Germans claim to be ignorant of the massacre of Jews? Why Whether farmers, bank employees, teachers or doctors claim that they don't know what happened in the concentration camps?" He continued to think about this question after class.In order to make students understand fascism, he started a bold experiment - the establishment of the "third wave".This is the prototype of the "Tide" organization in the movie "The Wave", and his students are members of the "Third Wave".Similarly, he required the students to call him "Mr. Jones" before speaking, designed unified gestures within the organization, and emphasized the importance of discipline and unity to the students in various forms.Soon, the students became loyal members of the "Third Wave" and firmly took Mr. Jones as the leader of the organization.

On the third day, the teacher secretly appointed three students as "inspectors" to report to him those who did not abide by the regulations of the "Third Wave" as well as critics and opponents of the organization; Tell him on your friends, even your parents who are skeptical of the Third Wave.At this time, the teacher felt that the situation was seriously out of control.So on the fourth day, in the name that the organization would be officially announced nationwide, he ordered the students to gather in the auditorium the next day.Finally on the fifth day, he managed to wake up the students from the fanatical "Third Wave" in the auditorium, and the students finally truly understood the terrible power of fascism—the students who participated in the "Third Wave" before The number of students has increased from about 3 to more than 20, and most of the latecomers have escaped the courses they were supposed to attend.In order to let everyone wake up, the teacher felt that it was useless to explain to everyone, and everyone had become fanatical, so he had to use a bigger lie that couldn't be covered at all to let everyone discover the absurdity of this matter, so Jones announced. The "third wave" is part of a national youth movement aimed at promoting change in the domestic political system.At 30 noon on Friday, the organization will be formally announced by the presidential candidate, with a corresponding announcement in the school.

But who knew that a bizarre coincidence made the claim even more credible: Time magazine ran a full-page ad for a wooden product called "The Third Wave."The students were inspired, and everyone felt that this must be a recognition from Time Magazine!At noon on Friday, the school auditorium.More than 200 students sat there upright.Wide "Third Wave" banners hung from the ceiling.Jones made a short speech, and 200 arms were raised toward him in a "wave" greeting.This experiment only lasted five days, but it was five long days.In the auditorium, Jones turned on a TV.Only snowflakes appeared.The students wait.There is nothing on the screen but snowflakes.Students are still waiting.They are used to discipline and obedience.A few minutes later, someone finally asked: "There is no leader, is there?" The auditorium exploded.Jones began to speak, no longer loud and harsh, but soft and self-reproaching: "Yeah. But we almost made good Nazis."

Jones then showed the students a film about the Third Reich: Reich party congresses, collectives, discipline, obedience, and what the collective did: terror, violence, gas chambers.Looking at the bewildered faces, the teacher's initial question was answered.He said: "Like the Germans, it is difficult for you to admit that you have gone so far. You will not be willing to admit that you have been manipulated, you will not be willing to admit that you have participated in this farce."

Such a thing.To put it bluntly, it is the Milgram experiment.What is the Milgram experiment?In fact, it was the content mentioned in a paper published by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram in an academic journal such as Abnormal Psychology in 1963-the study of power obedience!To be precise, the study tested subjects when they were confronted with orders from authority figures that violated their conscience.How much power of rejection is human nature capable of exerting.The experiments began in July 1961, a year after the Nazi Adolf Eichmann was brought back to Jerusalem for trial and sentenced to death.Milgram designed the experiment to test "Is it possible that Eichmann and the millions of other Nazi followers who participated in the Holocaust simply obeyed the orders of their superiors? We can call them The mass murderer?"

In the paper, the professor writes: "The views on obedience in law and philosophy are very significant. But they seldom talk about how people will act in actual situations. I am in Yale University designed this experiment to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would be willing to inflict on another person just because of an order from a scientist assisting the experiment. When the authority leading the experiment ordered The participant hurt another person, moreover the distressed scream heard by the participant. Even though the participant was so strongly What a willingness to obey, to behave at almost any scale, and we must study and explain this phenomenon as soon as possible."

The experimental group placed advertisements in newspapers and sent out many postal advertisements to recruit participants to come to Yale University to assist in the experiment.The experiment site was chosen in a basement in the old campus of the university. The basement has two rooms separated by walls.The ad stated that the experiment would run for about an hour and that the pay was $4.50.Participants ranged in age from 20 to 50 years old and included a variety of educational backgrounds, from primary school to doctorate.Participants were told that this was an experiment on the "effect of corporal punishment on learned behavior" and that they would play the role of "teacher" to teach another participant in the next room - "student", however the student In fact, it was faked by the experimenter.

The participant will be informed that he has been randomly selected to be the "teacher" and given an "answer sheet".The experimental group also explained to him that the participant who was selected as a "student" next door also received a "question paper".But in fact, the two pieces of paper are "answer sheets", and all the real participants are "teachers". The "teacher" and "student" are located in different rooms. They cannot see each other, but they can communicate with each other through the wall.One participant was even told in advance that the participant next door had heart disease. The "teacher" was given a shock controller that allegedly ran from 45 volts, connected to a generator, and told that the controller would shock the "student" next door. The answer sheet obtained by the "teacher" lists some well-matched words, and the task of the "teacher" is to teach the "students" next door.The teacher will read these word pairs to the students one by one. After the reading, the teacher will start the test. For each word pair, four word options will be read out for the students to answer. The students will press the button to point out the correct answer.If the student gets it right, the teacher moves on to other words.If the student answered incorrectly, the teacher would give the student an electric shock, and the wattage of the electric shock would increase with each incorrect answer.

Participants will believe that students will actually receive a shock every time they answer incorrectly, but no shock is actually delivered.In the next room, the student impersonated by the experimenter turned on the tape recorder, and the tape recorder played the pre-recorded screams in conjunction with the action of the generator. As the electric shock voltage increased, there would be even more astonishing screams.When the volts increase to a certain level, the fake student will start banging on the wall, and after hitting the wall a few times will start complaining that he has a heart problem.Then when the wattage continues to increase to a certain level, the student will suddenly remain silent, stop answering, and stop screaming and other reactions.Multiple participants paused at 135 volts and questioned the purpose of the experiment.Some proceeded to the test after receiving assurances that they would not be held responsible.Some people laughed a little nervously when they heard the students screaming...
