Wechat friends circle, beautiful and fun. Micro-friends talk about health, talk about the current situation, turn to American literature, chat about family, talk about friendship, tell jokes, bask in happiness, exchange greetings, encourage each other, be happy and relax. Undoubtedly, WeChat friends circle has become a spiritual paradise and spiritual space for micro-friends. The purer the space, the better.
However, there is no pure and pure, quiet and quiet thing in the world. Purity is relative, but impure is the norm. In the circle of WeChat friends, there are bold political remarks, voices that are not harmonious with the mainstream society, explicit or implicit personal propaganda and commercial advertisements. It doesn’t matter. Micro-friends are tolerant, receptive, supportive and even practical.
However, there is a phenomenon that cannot be tolerated or tolerated, and that is political rumors.
As we all know, a few years ago, there was a lot of smog in Weibo, and one of the important reasons was the political rumors forwarded by some big V. Last year, the government cleaned up a few arrogant rumors, and Weibo was much quieter. However, the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop. This rumor has blown into the WeChat circle of friends. Micro-friends should be vigilant and cannot let rumors and hurricanes pollute the circle of friends.
Political rumors have three characteristics: one is to look at the wind and exaggerate the facts; The second is to take it out of context and distort the facts; The third is to fabricate fiction and falsify facts. However, WeChat carries more information than Weibo, and the political rumors in WeChat are often integrated, spreading deeper and doing more harm.
What is a rumor? Rumors are statements that have no corresponding factual basis, but are fabricated and promoted by certain means. Communication believes that the function of rumors is always negative. It can harm individuals, groups, society and the country. In many cases, gossip often becomes the means and tools of dishonest people’s political struggle. The political rumors found in the circle of friends on WeChat have a strong purpose, that is, to discredit communist party and the path taken by People’s Republic of China (PRC) by exaggerating, distorting and forging facts, in an attempt to disrupt history, people’s hearts, society and the country, and then overthrow communist party.
Speech should be free. Everyone has the right to express his own views on history and the current situation. It is normal to have different views. As the saying goes, "When viewed from the side of a ridge, the distance is different", but rumors have nothing to do with freely expressing opinions, but with morality and crimes. In other words, speech is free, but rumors are illegal and rumors are not free. Many contradictions in history and reality, and even the outbreak of war, are that people have listened to rumors, resulting in a river of blood and painful huge losses. Stopping and eliminating rumors is a principle that no country, no ruling party and no citizen can give up.
For ordinary people, it is easy to be led by rumors without specializing in a certain period of history or politics. And some rumors are very tactical and very disguised. Nine of the ten news releases are true, with a fake in the middle, which makes people believe by the way. The historical truth you don’t know is mixed with historical illusions. After reading it, you thought you had gained knowledge and insight, and sighed, "So history is like this!" Don’t you know that history is really not like this.
So how can we identify and stop political rumors? One of the simplest ways is: Does this link (information) have the nature of derogating from People’s Republic of China (PRC), discrediting communist party and slandering Mao Zedong? We will not forward any link with this nature. This is called "rumors stop with wise people". If it is forwarded, the sender is at least not a wise person. Of course, a better way is to strengthen the cultivation of political, historical and cultural theories, and have a scientific world outlook, values, historical views, moral values, etc. For unclear and seemingly inappropriate information, look up books, search online, and make a comprehensive analysis, and you will come to a correct conclusion. In fact, some rumors have spread on the Internet, and they have been criticized to pieces, and they have been disguised and drilled into WeChat.
Don’t think that slandering Mao Zedong is aimed at Mao Zedong himself, but at the Communist Party of China (CPC); Don’t think that smearing communist party is aimed at a political party, the socialist road, and the current state system, but insulting 80 million party member and hundreds of millions of people who support communist party. Their wishful thinking is: by destroying the image of Mao Zedong, they can make the people dislike and oppose communist party; By slandering the current political system, communist party can abolish his martial arts. By discrediting state-owned enterprises, we can achieve the goal of full privatization and take the capitalist road.
Undeniably, in today’s China, achievements and mistakes coexist, and right and mistakes go hand in hand. We have reason to criticize, attack, question and expose those mistakes and mistakes. However, we must look at the problem comprehensively and dialectically. No matter what national system, which country in the world is not like this? Not to mention the setbacks in American history, but how much trouble and turmoil has the modern American financial crisis and power policy brought to the world today? How many disasters and sufferings did the world war launched by Germany cause in the last century? Which European power was not once a criminal who burned, killed and looted? When we get to the new China led by communist party and stand up, we can’t make mistakes? Cann’t you make mistakes? Is there smog only in China? Is there corruption only in China? Is pornography only available in China? The emergence of these things is definitely not right, and it is definitely caused by inadequate work, mistakes in work and even corruption. But if you know your mistakes, you will correct them, and those who violate the law will be prosecuted, which means a good political party and a good country! The United States is so great, Germany is so great, Britain is so great, and China is taking the road of correcting their mistakes. Isn’t it just as great?
Some people say that the multi-party system can avoid these mistakes. Then, which country that has made a big mistake or even a big crime is not a multi-party system? Which of those countries that are in turmoil is not a so-called democracy? It’s obvious to all! The Communist Party of China (CPC) is trying to correct his mistakes, trying to correct them. It’s as iron as a lion’s mouth, but now he’s striding from the beginning. Why not? Look at the chaos in Thailand, Egypt, Syria, Ukraine and other countries, and honest and kind Chinese will think like this: China can’t be chaotic! If China is chaotic, everyone will suffer, and the severity will be unimaginable! China can’t be chaotic, China should be rich and strong, and everyone should support the Supreme Leader and the Communist Party of China (CPC)! We should re-establish road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence, which means that mentally, as in the Mao Zedong era, we should unite as one and work hard! Because, this world has always been "the king of heaven covers the earth and the tiger, the demon in Baota town"; This world has always been closely linked with justice and strength, and the weak have no position; This world has never been truly equal. To pursue equality, we must struggle! Without a strong and unified country and a spiritual pillar that unites the whole people, there will be no dignity to stand upright and be a man in the world, and we will not see the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
Thousands of miles of levees collapsed in ant nests, and storms originated from butterflies. We can’t underestimate political rumors. Some rumors have really affected the historical process, or have had a bad influence on the historical process. We should not spread political rumors. Today’s chaos in China has a great relationship with the indulgence of rumors, credulity of rumors and the pervasiveness of rumors. Let political rumors stop in their own hands, which is tantamount to contributing to maintaining China’s stability.
Weibo has achieved results in cracking down on rumors, and it is imperative for WeChat to crack down on rumors. (Hou Xiping)
