主题：《茗谈》六十：英国式坑爹 -- 本嘉明
家园 老本难道真是只在此山中 云深不知处？
我看新老盎格鲁人特点就是虚伪，而且是彻头彻尾的虚伪，虚伪到了极点，虚伪得理直气壮厚黑无形，是彻里彻外的矫情装B。国教与清教的精神特征就是新老盎格鲁人虚伪人格的外在表现。对新老盎格鲁人虚伪本性描述得最生动最深刻的就是爱尔兰人萧伯纳和法国人托克维尔。
萧伯纳在其《支配命运的人》一书中曾借拿破仑之口来概括英国人的民族性格，“当英国人觊觎一件东西，他从来不说出他觊觎它。他耐心地等候着，直到他的心里不知怎样地发生出一道热切的信念，认为把他所觊觎的那东西的主人征服乃是他的道德和宗教天职……他从来就不缺乏恰到好处的道貌岸然的姿态。他以捍卫自由和民族独立的伟大战士的身份去征服和兼并了半个世界，美其名曰殖民。当他需要为他的掺杂的棉织品获得新的市场，他就派遣一个传教士去向当地土人宣传和平福音。土人杀死传教士，他就马上动武来保卫基督教；为基督教而战；为基督教而从事征服，终于作为上天的酬报占领了市场……他吹嘘奴隶只要踏上大不列颠的土地便成为自由人；他却把穷人们才满六岁的女儿出卖，在鞭子的威胁下要他们在工厂里一天做十六小时的工作……他干什么都是讲原则的。他跟你作战是根据爱国主义的原则……他欺负你是根据大丈夫的原则；他拥护自己的国王是根据忠顺的原则；他砍掉自己国王的头是根据共和的原则……”

家园 这点被他的亲戚山姆学的很好 无论是打印第安人还是海外用兵都能找到冠冕堂皇的借口。

家园 Hypocrites they are 家园 叹为观止！骗之道，自欺然后欺人 以种种伟大崇高的借口，骗得自己都义无反顾地相信了。怪不得中国人不是美国人敌手，在卑鄙无耻上面，中国人还差得远啊！
还要努力！现在中宣部的那些人，说的话颠三倒四，自己都不信，还指望骗老百姓？瞧瞧人家，先把自己都骗倒了再说！

家园 严重同意你 在美这些年的切身观察和体验
家园 请允许我附上原文 No, because the English are a race apart. No Englishman is too low to have scruples: no Englishman is high enough to be free from their tyranny. But every Englishman is born with a certain miraculous power that makes him master of the world. When he wants a thing, he never tells himself that he wants it. He waits patiently until there comes into his mind, no one knows how, a burning conviction that it is his moral and religious duty to conquer those who have got the thing he wants. Then he becomes irresistible. Like the aristocrat, he does what pleases him and grabs what he wants: like the shopkeeper, he pursues his purpose with the industry and steadfastness that come from strong religious conviction and deep sense of moral responsibility. He is never at a loss for an effective moral attitude. As the great champion of freedom and national independence, he conquers and annexes half the world, and calls it Colonization. When he wants a new market for his adulterated Manchester goods, he sends a missionary to teach the natives the gospel of peace. The natives kill the missionary: he flies to arms in defence of Christianity; fights for it; conquers for it; and takes the market as a reward from heaven. In defence of his island shores, he puts a chaplain on board his ship; nails a flag with a cross on it to his top-gallant mast; and sails to the ends of the earth, sinking, burning and destroying all who dispute the empire of the seas with him. He boasts that a slave is free the moment his foot touches British soil; and he sells the children of his poor at six years of age to work under the lash in his factories for sixteen hours a day. He makes two revolutions, and then declares war on our one in the name of law and order. There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find Englishmen doing it; but you will never find an Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principle. He fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles, and cuts off his king's head on republican principles. His watchword is always duty; and he never forgets that the nation which lets its duty get on the opposite side to its interest is lost.家园 老兄说得非常好 继续说，这样才能把这个民族从里到外看明白。
美国，就是一个大号的英国。
其实当年TG打天下时的风格，跟他们是有得一拼的。
未来世界是怎么样的？美国之后，再无世界性的帝国（干那个，亏本），所以会是多足鼎立。
这里头，有的黑，有的厚，有的既黑又厚。中国会怎么样，不好说，看清楚别人怎么样，就很重要了。

家园 世界的未来应该是大一统。人类历史基本上就是往大一统上走 和战国时代比，世界4/5的国家都没有了。我以为人类的天性就是要成为一个国家，现在的趋势也是。更不用提美国的精英们早就认定了民族国家是世界诸多灾难的根源所在。
以前人类做不到大一统是科技和能源的限制。现在这些限制在慢慢的解除。全球政府的是个必然趋势，就像秦统一前战国大战一样，那时候肯定也是大谈中原的未来是多足鼎立。秦的统一，不但是武力、经济、政治的要求，也是秦的科技和能量分配达到了可以统一中原的临界点。
希望中国能认识这一点，现在看来，保守不出击是没有未来的。春秋有五霸，战国有七雄，现代国际社会，目前倒是有不到10个有实力的统治世界的国家，也就是春秋阶段，肯定要大打，美国应该是忍不住对中国动手的，世界第一强国正在衰落，是衰落了让出位置呢，还是拼一把，美国肯定会拼的，打败中国，飘星条旗的全球政府就做实了，打不赢中国，那么必然是飘五星红旗的全球政府。

家园 一个民族很多人都这样，的确有点难 看过您写的关于盎格鲁撒克逊人的文章，非常有收益！我有时候想，我们中华的价值观和他压根不是一个，弄不好我们认为和气生财，让让利，人家以为是我们胆子小了或者能力不够。结果和气没表现出来，还散了财气。
