思考牆內傳銷式宣傳教育有感
qianqiao Wang
借著紀念六四的契機,想淺談一下近幾年大陸如同“養蠱”般的民粹現象,整個環境越來越極端、越來越接近“深井冰”的狀態。世界各地的粉紅利用自由世界的言論自由阻撓六四紀念活動已經到了撒潑的地步。
其實回想起來,我們不得不承認中共「詐騙傳銷」式宣傳在心理學上確實有其科學邏輯。 在資訊高度封閉的「牆內」,經歷了清零帝習近平在位這十餘年的輿論引導和思想灌輸,宣傳和洗腦的效果確實顯著。
長期浸泡在如此單一的話語體系之下,普通人想保持清醒並不容易。 日復一日的高密度洗腦,讓人們更容易傾向於接受,甚至下意識認同共產黨灌輸的敘事和意識形態。 而對所謂「境外勢力滲透」「外部思潮影響」大肆批判的那一套,恐怕玩的最溜的還得數聖上本人和執政黨的黨宣機器。 這套發家立足的“對國寶具”,堪稱爐火純青。
舉自己的例子:第一次「覺醒」還要追溯十五年前。 雖然身邊有一位已然覺醒的朋友不斷影響我,但彼時學校的政治課、馬克思主義和中共執政理念,以及胡溫時代「和諧社會欣欣向榮」主旋律依然充斥校園,洗腦的氛圍一時難以掙脫。 普通人很難抵擋住在封閉環境中單一觀點的強烈灌輸。 幸運的是,朋友的話語在我的潛意識中還是留下了印象。
直到後來有機會出國交流,才真正見識到西方法治社會的模樣。 親眼看到所謂“資本主義剝削”下的人們,反而臉上洋溢笑容,社會氛圍和諧、自由,整個人如醍醐灌頂煥然一新。 當我第一次看到地圖上中國大陸與臺灣以不同顏色區分,第一次瞭解國際法上“50年佔領區獨立”和國際社會對臺灣的立場時,我開始意識到,原本自以為理所當然的“自古以來”的話語體系,其實是長期宣傳下的謊言。
但最可怕的是,意識形態的侵蝕並不會因短暫覺醒而停滯。 回國後,儘管在公共場合已經能夠表達“我愛的是中國,不是中華人民共和國”,但大學及社會各環節滲透著“厲害了我的國”式宣傳。 志願活動、講座、日常組織...... 無不在潛移默化中持續強化“親中”立場,把我的思維朝同一個方向拉。 當時依然會對極端「粉紅」口號嗤之以鼻,但總體上,還是慢慢被重新“洗”回了歸國獻身的粉紅立場。 正因如此,我才說“第一次覺醒”,因為這種長時間洗腦,讓人居然會反復“同流合污”。
“第二次覺醒”發生在香港“占中”那年,眼睜睜看著習近平撕毀“50年不變”諾言,將集權之手伸向香港,才終於徹底清醒過來。
說這些,只是想結合自身的「橫跳」經歷,反思中共宣傳對國內大眾的強大影響力。 從當前大陸社會越來越極端的民粹氛圍即可見一斑。 認識很多內地朋友,即便對那些“義和團”言論嗤之以鼻,但只要長期在封閉環境下薰染,價值觀也不免偏向大一統、乃至“大陸優越論”的思路。
尤其近年來,社交媒體對“異見”觀點甄別更嚴。 普通人如不刻意「翻牆」,幾乎不可能接觸到多元信息,長期下來,只能逐漸被潛移默化地侵蝕,而被大陸的話語體系所同化。
哪怕是在國內頂尖外企這樣的資訊高地和意識天花板,大部分同事私下談及臺灣時,依然主張“武統”。 可想而知,「養蠱」之下的集體認知已然偏執至此。
最後,還是借六四紀念日之際,祝福臺灣「大罷免運動」順利,自由法治來之不易; 香港已是前車之鑑,做全世界的臺灣才是正道。

Reflections on the Phenomena of MLM-style Propaganda and Education Within the Great Firewall
qianqiao Wang
Taking the opportunity presented by the anniversary of June Fourth, I’d like to briefly discuss the recent years’ “insect-breeding” style populism seen in mainland China, where the entire environment has grown increasingly extreme, ever closer to a state of total irrationality (“deep well ice”). Today, “Little Pinks” from around the world have reached the point of making a scene, exploiting the free world’s freedom of speech to actively disrupt June Fourth commemorative activities.
In hindsight, we must admit that the CCP’s “scam and MLM”-style propaganda does have its psychological logic. Within the highly censored information environment of the Great Firewall, after more than a decade under the thought guidance and indoctrination during Emperor Xi’s zero-COVID era, the effects of propaganda and brainwashing are indeed significant.
For ordinary people, maintaining clarity of thought is no easy task while submerged long-term in such a singular discourse system. The relentless, high-density brainwashing day after day makes it easier for people to accept, and even subconsciously identify with, the narratives and ideologies instilled by the Communist Party. As for the usual grand criticisms of so-called “foreign infiltration” and “external ideological influences,” none play this game better than His Majesty and the Party’s propaganda apparatus. These “ancestral tools” of their rise to power have arguably reached a state of perfection.
Speaking from personal experience: my first “awakening” dates back 15 years. Although a friend who was already awakened kept influencing me, at that time, political classes in school—Marxism, CCP doctrines, and the main theme of a “harmonious, flourishing society” under Hu-Wen—still saturated the campus, creating an atmosphere of brainwashing that was hard to escape. It’s tough for an ordinary person to resist the forceful, single-minded indoctrination in such an environment. Fortunately, my friend’s words still left an impression on my subconscious.
It wasn’t until I had the opportunity to study abroad that I truly saw a Western society ruled by law. Seeing, with my own eyes, that people under so-called “capitalist exploitation” actually wore genuine smiles, with a harmonious and free social atmosphere, was like a lightning bolt of enlightenment. When I first saw China and Taiwan marked in different colors on a map, and learned about “50-years occupied territories’ independence” and the international community’s real stance toward Taiwan, I began to realize that the narrative of “since ancient times” that I took for granted was, in fact, a long-promoted lie under constant CCP propaganda.
But what’s most frightening is that the erosion of ideology does not stop with a momentary awakening. Upon returning home, although I was able to express “I love China, not the PRC” in public, university and every facet of society was permeated with “Look how strong my country is”-style propaganda. Volunteer activities, lectures, everyday organizations—all these subtly and persistently reinforced a “pro-China” stance, pulling my mindset back in the same direction. At the time, I still scoffed at the most extreme “Little Pink” slogans, but overall, I was gradually “rewashed” into a position of red devotion upon returning home. That’s why I refer to it as my “first awakening”—because such long-term brainwashing actually makes people repeatedly “go with the flow.”
My “second awakening” occurred the year of Hong Kong’s “Occupy Central,” when I watched as Xi Jinping tore up the “unchanged for 50 years” promise and extended authoritarian control over Hong Kong—it was only then that I became fully clear-headed.
I share these experiences to reflect, through my own zig-zag journey, on the profound influence of CCP propaganda over the domestic populace—evident in today’s increasingly extreme populism on the mainland. I know many mainland friends who, even if they mock the xenophobic “Boxer” rhetoric, still tend, after enough exposure in a closed environment, to adopt unificationist or even “Mainland supremacy” attitudes.
Especially in recent years, social media has become stricter in identifying “dissident” views. Unless ordinary people deliberately “scale the firewall,” it’s near impossible to access diverse information. Over time, they can only be gradually, subtly assimilated by China’s discourse system.
Even in top multinational companies—those high grounds of information and consciousness—the vast majority of colleagues, when privately discussing Taiwan, still support “armed reunification.” One can imagine how skewed collective cognition has become under this “insect-breeding” process.
Finally, on the occasion of the June Fourth anniversary, I wish Taiwan’s “Recall Movement” great success—freedom and the rule of law are hard won. Hong Kong has already provided a cautionary example; being the Taiwan for the whole world is the right path.
