As a Chinese person, I’ve noticed these incidents becoming more frequent in recent years. Despite gun control, there have been more knife attacks and vehicle rammings. Many innocent lives have been lost and families shattered, which is deeply distressing and frightening. I often remind my family and friends to be cautious when going out.
Discussing these topics is often restricted or prohibited within China. I’m curious to understand why people who want to ‘take revenge on society’ harm strangers who are defenseless and unknown to them. Logically, this behavior is hard to comprehend. There’s an old Chinese saying that roughly translates to ‘revenge should be directed at the source of the grievance.’ If someone has been wronged and feels desperate, shouldn’t they confront those who harmed them directly? By attacking random strangers, only innocent people suffer while those responsible remain unaffected.
I’m deeply saddened by this situation and am seeking insights. This is my first post on Lemmy, and I hope people can explain this issue or recommend books or videos that address the reasons behind such behaviors. Thank you very much.
Late stage capitalism… in China?
Just because they call themselves communists, doesn’t mean the end result isn’t the same as capitalism.
A select few have the power, most others are exploited as much as possible
I speak with it in mind there’s a difference between “late stage” and the “regular” kind.
China has the fastest growing billionaire and millionaire class in the world. There’s never been a fully communist or capitalist country
As opposed to the late stage kind of thing we’re talking about?
Your point?
That we’re not talking about the same kind of thing.
You never truly stated your point
That is my point. You’re talking about something broader than I tried to emphasize.
So you have no point
Is this news for you?
Kind of, those were some quick stages.
