The virus does not talk about values. It only exists as a simple and fatal human enemy, but many countries and many people still have completely politically politically politically politically, and even treat them as good opportunities for value attack.This is one of the key reasons for the passiveness of many Western countries.
The black swan of the crown disease is obviously more sufficient than the financial turmoil in 2008, and its impact is far beyond the financial field.Because the virus destroys the main factors of human beings, no matter how good the economy has lost its subject, production, trade and consumption will be unsustainable, and how much money will be sprinkled may not help.
Moreover, when the epidemic is unexpected, the world is still immersed in the period of the financial crisis. According to the relatively stable expectations, it is striving for the more and more stretched trade benefits while printing banknotes.At such a fragile moment, no one hates accidents.
U.S. President Trump's priority has affected the smoothness of the cycle, and disasters like crown disease will change the nature and direction of the cycle.The long -term currency stimulus and the increasingly rigid corporate profit model have originally made the global economy reaching the point where it is weak. Where can I stand this blow?
Politics usually does not talk about cycles, and there is only a cycle of hegemonic countries that reincarnate cross -century reincarnation in history.However, the election is cyclical. Trump has been politically important in accordance with the way of business thinking, so that the utilitarianity and periodicity of the election have been further strengthened, and they are all tied together with the stock market, tariffs, and monetary policy.
In the year of election, just everything is in line with the plan. As you get near the harvest, the most taboo non -delusional accidents in the epidemic situation of the crown disease. If you do n’t do it, you have to come again from scratch, and it ’s easy to re -establish an advantage.Therefore, in the face of the crown disease, even if Trump can no longer treat it as a matter of others, at least it must be said to be a calamity that others have caused.
The crown disease is a public health crisis, and collectivism has always been needed to deal with crisis.Both war or natural disasters in history have repeatedly confirmed that those countries that are unable to form a joint force at present have eventually failed.However, collectivism does not conform to the atmosphere of today's western society, and does not conform to the values used to maintain the post -war system and eventually win the Cold War.
In the pattern of small government and large society, the separation of the state and society means that all public affairs are attributed to the government's responsibilities. If it is necessary to limit the individual freedom across the legal or recognized border, it will lead to a considerationHao's value system cannot be triad.Therefore, the public is unwilling, and the government is not daring to do it, even for the epidemic.
However, it was the flood of liberalism that caused the 2008 financial crisis. The response measures after the crisis were all of the cases, which was attributed to strengthening the intervention of the market and relying on more stringent control to stabilize the financial market; liberalism was obviously left and right.Election politics, otherwise, the west will not be helpless to the increasingly populous and extreme political tendencies.However, the free background of the political system is heavier, and there are no political figures dare to touch.
Liberalism and collectivism are inherently opposing relationships, but artificially divide the so -called values according to the different ratio of the two.The virus has no values, but it can be spread around with the value of human beings. If it really weighs the severity of public security and political interests, it should be obviously controlled by the epidemic, rather than those periodic election arrangements.
Not long ago, the crown disease epidemic was still regarded as a great opportunity to be short in China. A public sanitation incident that should have been advanced and retreated, but countless sins such as historical sediment, cultural discrimination, racism, and system attack.Even the measures of huge costs in China and their own self -interest have been labeled with all kinds of unbearable labels.
However, practice has proved that these repeated stigma, in -depth measures such as value, system, etc. are valid, and may be the only way to deal with viruses in the same latitude in the same latitude, and even directly studying China's approach is a top priority.
Nevertheless, in the face of the dilemma of self -evidence, no matter the consideration of political interests or the long -term dependence, many Western politicians still cannot make the choice that is really conducive to the public.
The epidemic will eventually pass, but those competitions attached to the virus will not stop.Compared with the prevention and control methods, the medical level can more prove the ability.Therefore, the development of vaccines and special effects drugs has become a new field. The breakthrough of scientific and technological breakthroughs is not only conducive to preventing the epidemic, but also the ultimate evidence of the correct or incorrect words and deeds before.
But because of this, it can be predicted that the sharing of scientific research results in the future will still be politically troubled.And when the epidemic is finally controlled, for the consideration of elections and the need to blame the losses caused by the epidemic, a new round of public opinion attacks with values that are earlier in China, which is earlier, will definitely come back.
If the impact brought by the epidemic is delayed, the loss continues to expand, and the populism is high, the extreme situations that can be used to show the ability and transfer contradictions may occur, including armed conflicts.In that situation, regardless of politicians or ordinary people, they can't help but walk into the cage that they are weaving.
Rather than letting go down the value conflict and interest.At present, let the virus give preferred.
