“Hate oppression; fear the oppressed”, says the narrator of “The Mimic Men” by V. S. Naipaul. It is an ideological lie we were fed with that there are inherent merits in the oppressed, and ‘revolutionary horror’ is good. Now the old ideology has become inconvenient, they become to want ‘harmony’.
If you were facing a gunman or a man with a knife in Urumchi, what would you do? fight (or run) for your life, or try to argue with him that “we are all victims”?
When Chinese poet Beidao visited Tel Aviv, the Israeli host was asked what she would think if she were killed by suicide bomb.
After a long pause, she said: I think I deserve it.
