龙应台在季风书店的最新演讲中说：要和平，不要战争。战争责任两方都有,但是更大的责任，在强的一方。 这一刻我惊了。龙应台的认知还是没进步，除了战争疯子，正常人谁会反对和平呢。这是典型正确的废话，略等于白岩松语录。 而“战争的责任，双方都有”，属于听上去很有理细一想就是鸡汤文。居委会调解矛盾也这样，大妈们就爱这么说：“抛开事实不谈，难道你就没错吗”。 战争的责任是有明确标准的，否则干嘛成立国际战争法庭。真不是模糊化边界就可以用爱发电的。 至于“战争更大的责任，在强者一方”。这是在批评强大的盟军打败了希特勒，还是批评美军以巨大优势击溃了日本联合舰队？ 这个世界什么时候开始不再用正义和邪恶来区分战争性质，而是比体量，谁弱谁有理，谁穷谁有理，米洛舍维奇、胡塞武装、索马里海盗、萨达姆、卡扎菲……你们可以释然了。 感谢前些年龙应台邀请我去台湾访问和签售，感谢请我看电影、在办公室吃工作餐。你曾是我尊重的人，但越来越失望了。出于尊重，还是要说清楚：世界当然需要不同观点，但不包括纵容神棍、恐怖主义、镇压本国人民，暴力钳制言论自由。 当你提及1949年以佐证你的观点，提醒青年不要重蹈战争。我很疑惑，你写大江大海，写家破人亡，真明白导致这一切悲剧的根源了吗。 难道不是当时看上去弱小的一方搞坏了一个时代吗。 如果真要说强者的责任，那就是当时的美国误判。 实力越强，责任越大，我们的认知，不会还不如漫威电影《蜘蛛侠》吧。 早些年，我也爱引用春上村树那句：在城墙与鸡蛋之间，我永远站在鸡蛋的一边。深觉这句话温情和力量并存。 后来渐渐明白，关键是你如何区分“谁是城墙，谁是鸡蛋”。 其实被打死、被毁容、被枪杀、被强奸的伊朗女孩子才是鸡蛋。那个才九岁就被伊朗革命卫队一枪射杀的小男孩才是鸡蛋。 神棍及革命卫队是城墙。 你说，我们究竟是应该站在这些可怜的鸡蛋一边，去对抗神棍们筑起的城墙。还是泛泛而谈一些正确的废话。 那句话应该改成“在城墙和鸡蛋之间，目睹悲剧，强者永远要帮着鸡蛋对抗城墙”。 别以强弱分对错，勿用鸡汤灌青年。

Neil White, English writer: Why do the British dislike Donald Trump? First of all, Trump lacks some of the qualities traditionally valued by the British. For example, he has no class, no charm, no composure, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity. We like to laugh, and although Trump can be funny, he has never said anything witty or even mildly amusing—not once, ever. This particularly bothers the British—for us, the absence of humor is almost the same as the absence of humanity. And with Trump, this seems to be the case. He doesn’t even appear to understand what a joke is; his idea of humor is a crude remark, an illiterate insult, or a random act of cruelty. Trump is a troll, and like all trolls, he is never funny and never laughs. His mind is simple—like a bot running on petty prejudices and various nastiness, with no layer of irony, complexity, nuance, or depth. Everything is superficial. Some Americans may see this as a refreshing, progressive simplicity and authenticity. But we, the British, do not. We see it as a lack of inner life, a lack of soul. In Britain, we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are brave underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is the opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich boy or a greedy fat man—he’s more like a bloated white slug, a privileged Jabba the Hutt. He breaks all the rules of basic decency associated with the Marquess of Queensberry—he hits below the belt, something a gentleman would never do. He especially likes to strike the vulnerable or voiceless—and kicks them when they are down. His flaws are hard to miss, and the fact that at least one-third of Americans fail to notice them is shocking to the British. It is impossible to read any of his tweets or hear him speak even a couple of sentences without peering into an abyss. In fact, if Frankenstein had decided to create a monster made entirely of human flaws—he would have created Trump. “A man without a sense of humor is almost crippled to me,” — Pierre Richard.
