#匿名下的雙面人格
老實說，韓國女星金賽綸的離世我毫不意外，那種感覺似乎看到當年f(x)雪莉自殺的新聞一樣。
每天排山倒海的網絡惡評，任何悔改或努力都被視為假惺惺，稍有一些不符合主流價值的事就被放大撻伐，絲毫不讓她們有一絲生存喘息空間。換作是我，早已撐不過一個月。
這件事看起來很可怕，但更可怕的還有一件事。
有個賬號被扒出來，在金賽綸生前就寫了許多不堪入目的留言。沒想到她結束生命後，這名網友就搖身一變正義使者，開始譴責「網路霸凌」對她的傷害，甚至高舉「我們應該要善良」的旗幟，彷彿她的死是一個純然的悲劇，與他過去的指責毫無關聯。
生前罵她「該死」，死後罵其他網友「該死」；任何時候都是別人該死，自己永遠沒錯。
很雙標，卻也是網絡時代人性最真實諷刺的一面。
我不斷觀察許多人在使用網絡的動機與習慣，或許是匿名性與去責任化，導致一些網友在面對社會事件時，總會不自覺展現出矛盾且令人不安的雙面行為。這已非偶然，而是普遍可見的典型心態。
畢竟，人類天生渴望群體認同，在網路世界中，這種渴望被進一步放大。因此當某件社會事件爆發，網路上的言論往往會迅速形成一種趨勢，一種集體憤怒或集體同情的情緒氛圍。個體很容易被這種氛圍影響，進而選擇與主流情緒保持一致，而不是做獨立思考。
當金賽輪酒駕的新聞曝光時，憤怒的群體期待「懲罰」，於是個人就算不是真的對她有敵意，也可能選擇加入批判行列，以求得一種「我也是正義」的心理滿足。
然而，當她因輿論壓力選擇自我了結，社會情緒轉向同情時，這些網友又迅速地調整立場，開始譴責過去的「霸凌者」，卻沒有意識到自己就是霸凌的加害者，內心會迅速轉向「贖罪模式」。
站在人性立場來想很簡單——人總需要找一個新的加害者，來卸除自己的罪惡感。於是，「社會對她太殘忍」變成新的集體輿論，而真正施加輿論壓力的個體，卻巧妙地從加害者變成了「受害者」，彷彿這一切都與自己無關。
網路輿論場的特性，常讓人容易產生一種「道德權威」的錯覺。而這個時代的輿論風向變化太快，讓許多人並不是真正「關心」一個事件，而只是消費它，這也是為何同一個人可以在前後幾天立場突變。
當然，人總會隨著不同歷練改變看法，但若每次表態都只是不自覺附和網絡的情緒運動，本質上卻沒有換位思考，讓人擁有重生贖罪的空間，那自己所謂的正義語言，充其量都只是想要掩蓋內心自卑的偽優越感。 source

if you're in the throes of cosmic despair i cannot recommend museums enough. art or science or history it doesn't matter. oh we're all connected, all of us and everything, throughout all time and space, and no one, no one, no one is alone? awesome. that's what i thought i just wanted to make sure. source

Say you break your ankle. You could know everything there is to know intellectually about the injury. Even with this vast knowledge, you will still experience physical pain.
Now take this logic and apply it to things like ADHD, autism, clinical depression, and other less visible/divergent disabilities. You cannot think your way out of feeling.
That is to say: you are not a bad, lazy, or selfish person for struggling, even if you know why you are struggling. source

Let history remember that the first thing the world's richest man destroyed once he got unfettered access to power was food for starving kids and medicine for the world's poorest people.

The cruelty of racist white men.
Tumblr user wolf840:
Does anyone else remember when Elon was like "if anyone knows how to end world hunger for 6 billion USD, I'll fund it" and UNICEF was like "we're going to spend a month to make a plan to end world hunger for 6 billion USD and Elon is going to fund it" and Elon was like "actually, nah" and then bought Twitter instead?
I think that was one of the worst things I'll ever see in my life.
