到校上課、面授課程

再口語化，台灣也會說「到校上課」，語義清晰，不會說甚麼「進行面授」。

不過始終覺得「現場授課」是最好的表達法。

防疫法西斯的權力

現代社會，經濟技術掛帥，一個人在社會上的價值，往往按供求法則而定︰你能供應多少予社會、能為社會提供多少功能，你的價值就有多少。然而，權力就是控制力。只有掌握權力，才能控制供求；能控制供求，就是有利自身價值。因此，人類是極度渴望得到權力的動物。

由是觀之，不難理解防疫法西斯何以成為防疫法西斯。原因並非權力，權力只是實現目的的工具，深層原因是自我價值。防疫法西斯的深層目的，是在那了無意義的蒼白人生中尋求價值，哪怕只是微薄的剩餘價值。他們追求控制他人的權力，追求對別人頤指氣使的權力，追求「能把別人定罪」的權力，從中調節供求，提高自身價值。只有社會仍然處於防疫狀態，只有「瘟疫」仍然「流行」，他們才有存在值值。

是故，防疫法西斯會十分介意西洋鏡被揭穿、十分介意被指行徑戇居，因為這樣如同剝奪他們享受權力的權利、剝奪他們尋找自身價值的權利。

不過，為了不剝削這些毫無意義兼遺害人間的權利，難道就要其他人犧牲自由吸呼、不被奴役、免於疾病、免於恐懼的權利？

防疫是政治

一年前已在說，防疫是政治。說了一年，你就是不信，現在還問「咩玩法」？身段耍夠了沒有？

誰會想到？誰會想不到

一年前告訴你，防疫是政治，你不管，硬要玩批鬥。批鬥玩夠了，來一個回馬槍，優雅地說句「有邊個會諗到」。你還可以更仆街嗎？

奴才思維 The Mindset of Slaves

香港的教育，重量不重質，死做爛做，鬥多鬥密集，學生和老師都是死物，是奴才式訓練。

Education in Hong Kong honours quantity, not quality.  From students to teachers, the universal value is to work on practice papers, drills, lots of exam drills, endless amount of cramming until you run out of time.  This is a system of slavery training.

在過去兩年來的香港「抗爭」史中，就發現這種奴才思想根深柢固。奴才教育下的香港人，都一致認為，越做得多，越做得密集，越多加幾錢肉緊，就叫做了「本份」。

You can see how deep-rooted such slavery mindset is ingrained in our people if you look at what happened in Hong Kong in the last couple of years.  Raised in this slavery training system, we almost unanimously believe in drills, intensive drills.  We believe the more we do, the more intensively we do it, the more dedicatedly we do it, we would have done our job.

群體由蒙面抗爭者變為口罩篤灰者，令人沮喪。奴才不懂甚麼叫hea做、甚麼叫不合作。奴才會很努力分黃藍，很努力影相篤灰，很努力監察香港人。最要命的是，奴才必須跟從指令行事，不跟從指令就會當機，故此，他們很努力配合港共政權的agenda，也很勤力跟「日程表」上街，不去理會日程表背後是由甚麼人發出，總之以為勤力就是無敵。

Nothing is more agonising than seeing the mass turning from bold masked freedom fighters into sneaky mask snitches.  Slaves never understand what it means to be uncooperative or to be passively aggressive.  Instead, slaves work hard to put colour labels on anyone or anything.  Slaves also work hard to take snapshots to rat others out.  Slaves work very hard to monitor their own folks.  Worst of all, slaves can only function on commands—otherwise, they crash like a blue screen on Windows.  As a result, they work very hard in line with the regime's agenda and take to the street based on the "HKers' Calendar" without giving a thought to who released it behind the curtain.

阿布泰事件後的反應，更是奴才的極致。港共要懲罰某人，奴才又照板煮碗懲罰其他人，以為這就是「你做初一我做十五」，和極權對抗。哀哉！這叫配合呀！

How the mass reacted to the AbouThai incident perfectly demonstrated our slavery mindset.  The regime sets out to punish its target, and the slaves react by punishing others in the same way as the regime does.  Ironically enough, these slaves believe they are fighting against the evil regime.  This is utter cooperation, for God's sake!

Vaccine Passport - Just Another Quest for Power and Control

Privilege will be given to those who comply—this appears to be our inevitable destiny.  Grateful for a leader like Mr Pompeo to lay out the fact plain and clear like this when the hope for humanity is apparently diminishing every day. 

Mike Pompeo: //Requiring Americans to show proof of vaccination, or a ‘vaccine passport,’ in order to engage in society is outrageous and un-American. This isn’t about containing a virus, but is just another dangerous idea from the Left in their quest for more power and control.//

Vaccine Passport

I don't see how people aren't understanding the dangers with the vaccine passport idea.  It's normalising discrimination and hateful feelings towards those who won't go along with the majority.  It will not stop there.  It never stops there.

In 1933, Nazis introduced the Ahnenpass (ancestor passport).  It was a "health" passport which defined how Aryan you were and controlled everything you were allowed to do in life, and enabled millions of Jews and others to be discriminated against, enslaved and murdered.

Those who still choose to hop on the bandwagon are just fucking selfish.  Simple as that!

Democracy is No GOP in 2024

President Biden says he has no idea if there will be a Republican Party in 2024.

Talk about cancel culture.

Just like Patrick Murray put it in his book: "Any political party that includes the word 'democratic' in its name, isn't."

高手與低手

今日的香港，立場先行。葉劉淑儀這個貼文一出，整天都充斥著各種刻意模仿的揶揄，然後就沒有然後，大家沒有打算提升自己的戰鬥力，甚至根本沒有處於作戰的精神狀態。

立場不同，不代表「姐姐」技藝不高。

語言方面，她先說出產品的好處，再說罷買的原因；先帶出它是好東西，只是基於更偉大更高尚的理由，才不再使用。今天的我沒有打倒昨天的我，昨天的我亦絕非品味低俗的港婦。立場清晰，馬步穩紮，不卑不亢。

反觀我方陣型的黃絲，只會拿比自己更低手的來比較，嘲弄藍絲如何一味謾罵「反中亂港」，諷刺小粉紅一味「我爱中国」，但事實上自己也好不到哪裡，一味把「藍店垃圾」、「美心不了」常掛嘴邊，但從沒看過有誰會說「美心的焗豬扒，以快餐來說的確不錯（起碼比龍門冰室優勝），但是基於它支持暴政，我決定不吃。」之類，稍為經過深思、略有層次的表述。

畫面方面，「姐姐」在凝視，由上而下，眼神凝重，可以闡釋為憐憫（唉……你做乜咁唔爭氣？），也可以理解為不捨，又可以看出一點憤慨。一幅構圖，摻雜複雜的感情。

我方陣型呢？砸碎譚詠倫唱片、撕爛特朗普畫像，其實跟那些不爽日本就發起抵制日貨、不滿美中貿易戰就抵制美國貨的小粉紅沒兩樣。

我們是在作戰的。對家優勝之處，要取之用之，才能提升自己。葉劉此輩，一如不少黃絲，耍優雅的能耐入骨入血，她能將此能耐恰到好處地用在忠於她立場之處；反觀我方黃絲，耍優雅的技藝，統統用在一己身上……

https://www.facebook.com/Regina.ip.fans/posts/10157959469372157

PS. 拜登對中國出手，明顯比特朗普狠辣，起碼牌面如是。然而，藍絲和小粉紅至今卻又沒有像對特朗普般直斥拜登。三方行為模式如此相似，說「紅黄藍是一家」亦不無道理。

香港教育只訓練技能，沒培養智仁勇

現今的香港教育，只有技能訓練，沒有智、仁、勇方面的培養。結果香港人大多沒有評估風險的能力，更遑論要承擔風險。遇上危機，只有狂野之後的失落和後悔，失落過後去追求安全感。

承擔風險，敢於冒險，才是自由社會的基礎，也是體現勇氣的品德。

大家要再讀歷史，讀曹操如何挾天子以令諸侯，讀英軍如何在香港保衛戰中力抗日軍，培養勇者的智慧和氣魄。

想要、需要 Wants vs Needs

對有錢人而言，所有想要都是需要。

對於窮人而言，所有需要都是想要。

To the rich, all the "wants" are their "needs".

To the poor, all the "needs" are their "wants".

Sick from a Jab

Insanity is when people who haven't been sick all year are willing to get sick from a shot to feel protected from something that hasn't made them sick all year?!

And that includes a teacher aged over 60 who has spent her whole life teaching in tertiary education.  Tell me about human wisdom.

Freedom of Speech = Stupidity?

Vaccinating Teachers Not a Prerequisite for Reopening Schools

I wish we have this luxury too in Hong Kong.

Washington Examiner Not Accessible

Is Washington Examiner supposed to be accessed by people in the US alone?  Or is someone in Hong Kong meddling with it?

Selfishness

Just how much of ourselves are we willing to give to make Hong Kong a better place?

Apparently not much, to most people.
