2015 本土意識 遍地開花

(2014年尾寫的一篇,有幸給「2014 香港人醒覺」fb page share 了,看看今次又能不能呃 like)



意識形態之轉變

2015年,承雨傘革命之覺醒,本土意識在年輕人中勢不可擋。足球場上噓「國歌」以及 HK is not China 的標語,是最為清楚地告訴全世界,香港人不要「中港融合」,不要大陸化。

我也懐疑這憤青態度只存在於網絡上;然而連我老豆也會說,「仆你個街,去旺角好似返咗深圳」,阿媽也懂和大陸親戚爭辯殘體字之壞處。可見本土意識乃人性本能,即使是「藍絲」,只要抓對議題,也不一定完全不可能把他們拉過來。

勇武之成果

年中一連串光復行動,成功迫使中共取消一簽多行,是繼限奶令後反中共殖民最重要的勝利,也再一次證明了勇武抗爭比左膠的「抗爭」有效一萬倍。為了拯救香港,一眾義士無懼千夫所指,甚至捨身成仁,鋃鐺入獄。在此再一次向每一位義士致敬,並期望勇武行動陸續有來。

議會之抗爭

區議會選舉結果無疑是有點令人失望,主流泛民還是受惠於含淚票與黃絲港豬票。但整個政治光譜向右轉,你喜不喜歡也好,已是無可避免。連歐洲右翼也「受惠」於難民潮,西方左膠也要面對「理想與現實」下人民的反感。2016年立會,在比例代表制下,再沒理由含淚投票。本土派還是面對重重困難,各路人馬內鬥不斷。我常認為一些本土派支持者搞不清楚意識形態上的溫和/激進與抗爭手段的溫和/激進兩者是不同的,不過這遲些有機會再說。要是激進本土派能於立會搶得席位,那怕只是一個,也會是一個重大勝利。

知其不可而為之

中港融合支持者說,同化是不可避免,與其反抗不如學會享受強姦。按理「不可避免」是合理推斷,各本土論述也都依賴中國某日會爆煲。我對「支爆」可沒有這麼「樂觀」;大陸經濟雖有問題,但我不認為會是毀滅性的,而且中國已是 too big to fail,西方國家也不希望中國爆破。然而我們是否就放棄呢? 就像香港足球牌面上看,沒可能戰勝中國,然而港隊兩戰中國奇蹟不敗,又付碌又誤判,你吹咩,這就是天意注定。

電影《十年》中有這樣一句:「我有一個宗旨, 不要看行不行, 要看對不對。」展望2016,希望更多人能 stand up and fight,不管是網絡裏,街道上還是議會內,在能發揮自己長處的領域,各盡其力。謀事在人,成事就要在天了,就算失敗,也是無愧於心。

哲學敗類李天命

從前我也看李天命。不算是忠實讀者,只讀過一本起兩本止。但他對(廣義)基督教義(特別是部份基督徒的interpretation)、平機會與平等主義、偽專管理主義的批評,深得我心,看得十分過癮。然而這次的所作所為,絕對是使其人格破產。

李天命:
「馮敬恩,無句真。/ 大話精,說摘星。/ 人無信,不可信。/ 凡交往,必騙盡。」
「好好研判成立*馮*敬*恩*電話行騙有限公司唄。」
眾人大加鞭撻:

林夕
這一下,在港大念哲學的校友也跟我來個順口溜:李天命/真攞命!既然不動如空虛,怎麼動起手來,又輕佻惡毒如此,已屆知天命如虛空之人,怎麼會看上一個大學未畢業的「廢青」,還咬得那麼得戚?這把思辨之劍,又從不向權貴砍伐?校委那麼多荒唐語可以滿足駁人之樂,犯不着拿無權無勢一學生來墊高大師地位。不動如虛空,又幹嘛回應輕如蜉蝣的網軍?這什麼邏輯?
...
你不服氣,可以送李天命的《破惘》給天命大師看,裏面說過:「難以想像一個真正的大丈夫會欺負弱小……打劫老弱婦孺或手無寸鐵的人,我覺得那是弱者所為,有損自尊。」
曾志豪
他用「語理分析」的倚天劍,批評陳文敏和馮敬恩的話語毛病、邏輯不當,我一邊看一邊覺得悲涼。就像街邊有12惡霸欺侮1個四眼書生,另一個四眼黃毛小子挺身維護,2人被打得口腫面青;而李天命就像一位身負絕世武功的高手,他沒有指責12惡霸, 反而嘲笑四眼書生和黃毛小子反抗時姿勢不雅、招式不正確。
盧斯達
香港病入膏肓,膠人膠語日日都是新聞題材,李天命仍默不作聲。雖然我不認為一個「哲學家」有評論政治的義務,也許李天命不愛談政治。但陳文敏和馮敬恩的政治,李天命就突然出聲。客觀效果,是李天命和中共一齊打落水狗。

陳文敏馮敬恩並不是語言邏輯學家,他們的說話,總會有破綻,可供「分析」,可供批判。... 指出邏輯謬誤,沒甚麼問題,可是李天命長久以來對其他更加荒謬的事情沉默不語、在「關鍵時候」出手追殺戰敗的陳文敏,這是為了甚麼呢?

就算陳文敏馮敬恩千錯萬錯,李天命這些言論的客觀效果就是助紂為虐。難道梁振英李國章盧寵茂從來沒有說過一句不合邏輯的話?為什麼不見你去批評?還是你認為他們是站在正義的一方?我沒有看過他 forum 的每一個 post (那 forum 也實在「user-friendly」得很),不肯定他有否月旦其他時事,但要是有,想來早就給人搬來引用了。

指出邏輯謬誤也還罷了,還要以其一貫的尖酸刻薄語氣挖苦一番,比王晶屈穎妍之流更不堪入目。你要是善意批評,難道就不可客氣一點?

大家也猜他的動機是什麼。看上去也不像是受威迫利誘。他不屑現今學術制度要求濫產論文,他自己大概也是「不事生產」的那類。哲學就更不用說有什麼 impact factor 了。對陳文敏的攻擊,除了「沒有博士學位」外,恐怕大多適用於他,按理他應該「物傷其類」才是。然而人的心理很奇怪,有時在這情況下反而會最勇猛的對受害人踩多幾腳,還會帶來快感,可能是潛意識想強調「我和他不是同類」吧。

不管是利慾薰心,還是心理扭曲一時快感,這都是不可接受。李天命要是有點良知的話,就該速速道歉。所謂愛之深責之切,沒有人會期望李國章盧寵茂之流「道德覺醒」,我還是希望李天命會反省。不然就和李國章盧寵茂一樣,成為學術界的敗類,遺臭萬年。

最不幸的,還是那些之前被批倒的,如基督徒之類,忽然以為道理轉向自己那方,又大叫大嚷了。連說話者的人格與說話內容是否合理也不懂分辨,唉。

左膠一說話,就使人發笑


貝加爾,別以民族性解釋一切
http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/news/art/20150615/19184731
民族性,是坊間經常用來安加在各國族刻板印象的玩笑,如德國人守時、法國人浪漫、俄國人勇武、日本人有禮等等,當中故然有幾分事實,用來說笑也無傷大雅。 然而一個國族,就必然享有共同性格嗎?德國人真的人人都準時,日本人又真的人人都有禮嗎?要是動一動腦筋想清楚,這類刻板印象根本經不起理性推敲。
So Chi, facebook comments in the same page:
「德國足球水準高於中國」係咪錯嘅?係咪一定要每一個德國人踢波都叻過中國人先可以話德國足球水準高於中國?

只要德國人 on average 守時過其他人,這樣的 claim 便站得住腳。還說甚麼理性推敲...

香港左膠和西方左膠一樣,痛恨 stereotype,凡是指出不同種族、性別之間有不同特點的,都是邪惡的。 在他們眼中,人人都是一樣,homogenous 的,沒有高下之分 ─ 如果你站在「弱勢」那邊。說女性比較細心甚麼的就可以,說某些工作比較適合男性就是罪大惡極。說黑人肌肉爆發力較好無人異議,要是你敢說黑人有甚麼缺點的話你就是法西斯。

文化藝術以至文明也是一樣,大媽廣場舞和芭蕾舞沒有優劣之分,伊斯蘭文明與耶教文明也沒有高下之別。

Leicester City season review

So, we somehow pulled off a minor miracle and stayed in the premier league. You are not going to believe it, but I have always been quietly confident that we can do it, even in (almost) the worst of times. The point that I started to lose belief was when we failed to beat 10-man Hull at home, when you thought you got to beat them, if you can't even do that how are you going to get points. But 2 matches later our winning streak began.

We always knew we have the easiest fixture towards the end of the season; most of the teams are either fellow strugglers or have little to nothing to play for. Nigel Pearson, outside of his bizarre moments (see below), is always a calm and measured person who knows what he is doing. Performance-wise we were never completely outplayed; we were never beaten by more than 2 goals all season, and often performance don't convert to points. These are all reasons that contribute to the confidence that eventually proved justified.

Throughout most of the season (i.e., the losing part), the comments were often that we performed as well as the opponent, just "unlucky". But you can't be that unlucky over 38 weeks; there must be some fundamental problems somewhere. My feeling is that we are just a little bit short but in every department, which together means we lose just a little bit every time. But clearly point-wise you would rather win or draw some games and lose heavily in others, than to lose by a bit every game. It also means we can't seem to do both attack and defence well at the same time. If we commit to attack we often fail to turn dominance into goals, and then we fail to defend; if we decide to sit back then we eventually concede and by then there was not enough time (and players' confidence) to chase the game. That was basically what happened from November to March.

Eventually we somehow stumbled upon the 3-centreback formation and more importantly, with Albrighton playing as right wing-back. Three centrebacks are only possible after the capture of Huth (the other centre backs are just not that good, really), and who would have thought Albrighton should play as right-back? This system gives a better balance and clearer separation between attack and defence.

(I have Albrighton in my fantasy team all season, just to warm the bench because he is cheap - though it would be better if I added him 32 weeks or so later. By the final week I thought I would give all my Leicester players  - Schlupp, Albrighton, Vardy - a run-out, just for fun, and they did not disappoint.)

Going back to Nigel Pearson. Unless he was doing those things deliberately, he maybe should seek professional help. Probably the pressure was getting on him and he was lucky to escape punishment for things like grabbing your opponent player's neck. It could have gone a lot worse. He looks like a respectable person and reasonably good at his job, and it would be sad to see him go particularly if it is for non-footballing reasons.

We have not been spending crazy amounts of money and next year we should do the same. I never like the idea of "going all-in" and either stay in the Premier league or go bust. Actually I don't even mind being a yo-yo club for a few years; I think that was the right way to establish yourself (though the competition at the Championship is extremely tough so there is never any guarantee you can go back up easily.) Spend sensibly and keep the stability and hopefully we will survive another year.

Political persecution drives Hong Kong primary school teacher to brink of committing suicide


稱校方頻召見 林慧思fb留言想死 
http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/news/art/20150517/19150607

We previously posted about the political persecution and harassment faced by primary school teacher Ms Lam Wai-Sze. Almost two years on and she is still facing constant harassment. On the morning of 16th May she posted a suicide note on facebook, which worried a lot of her supporters. She has since sought medical help and calmed down.

She was forced to take a half-year leave since the incident in 2013. During the past one and a half years since she returned to work, she faces constant harassment by pro-Beijing organisations, who keep making complaints to the school she works at (Pui Ling School of the Precious Blood). The school has summoned her over 20 times to explain herself. The most recent one concerns her facebook political posts and they want Ms Lam to ban under-18 from seeing the posts. Ms Lam reminded the school not to interfere her freedom of speech, but some colleagues scolded her for this.

She emphasized that she has never imposed her own political opinion upon her students. Netizens expressed support and encouraged her not to back down. Chin Wan, a prominent political figure, has suggested she could seek political asylum.

三跑之一百八十元建設費

「機管局建議向離境旅客開徵一百八十元的建設費... 而精打細算的旅客更可能改往澳門及內地機場轉機。」
http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/news/art/20150318/19080660

共匪邊有咁好死,為你機場飽和問題着想?人地恨不得將香港從國際視線消失呢。要害之一正是趕客,等人人轉去其他機場,摧毀香港航空樞紐地位,到時先起好條三跑嚟擺,咁先玩得你夠過癮。

乜嘢用者自付,又唔見你起咩蓮塘口岸時開徵陸路離境稅?(另點解整平塊地,起一兩棟矮矮地嘅建築物,幾條馬路,咁又要幾百億?)

2014 奸邪當道 港人醒覺

2014年頭,有人搞了個 「2014 香港人醒覺」的 fb group,我心想你是不是太樂觀了點。Well, 一次雨傘革命,陰差陽錯下,醒覺的人多了,比我想像的多,但還是不夠。最初幾日民眾發揮本能,一時氣勢大盛,奈何不久左膠終於還是把革命退化為他們一貫的運動。其實在三十年的和理非思想下,有這樣的覺醒已算不錯。可是在殖民力度愈來愈大的情況下,這樣的醒覺速度終不足以抵禦赤化。這是起步太遲的問題了。

我一向不認為甚麼真普選、公民提名之類是最重要的事。當務之急,是中港區隔,制止中共殖民,否則香港被消滅了,你和我也不再是香港人,成了孤魂野鬼,民主有個屁用?民主回歸派搞了三十年,民主爭取不到,殖民卻愈演愈烈。猶記得一三年李旺陽事件後,有個顛佬叫人不要參加支聯會的六四集會,被人罵個狗血淋頭。幾個月後,帶領你悼念六四的支聯會那班人「成功爭取」新移民綜援,又幾個月後,又是同一班人到聯合國指控香港人歧視新移民。你說誰才是顛佬?可喜的是,蔡耀昌於元旦遊行被狙擊,從此民陣那班人不再高調浦頭,間接促成七一預演佔中等較激行動。 八三一人大落閘後,連他們自己也宣布民主回歸路線壽終正。是時候把香港交回給香港人了。本土派的方式不一定成功,但你們的已證實失敗。

這次運動雖然失敗,但至少它令主流泛民一鋪清袋、令更多人認識左膠的惡行,也使港人首次大規模體驗(同一個顛佬提出的)勇武抗爭。年輕人甚至學生妹也身體力行,上過前線,體驗過札竹棚、擋警棍,就會明白勇武抗爭和左膠假抗爭的分別,回不去的了。 從這方面來看,它有極其重要的意義。可是這仍然十分初步,港人未能衝破和理非思想伽鎖,停留在「老婆被警察拉走強姦而自己站著高呼警察可恥」的程度。希望來年大家能突破這心障。

我覺得以下這圖最能代表2014的香港。香港奸邪當道,願港人繼續發揮圖中的堅強意志,知其不可而為之。

(我那時多麼渴望旺角能撐到十二月中,讓我也來守一下...)
