No.0092:Anonymous - Theory from a safe place

Those who don't fight will laugh at your song  When you are fighting.
 
This is a passage from Miyuki Nakajima's song "Fight". I'm not a courageous person, so I rarely stick to my correctness while being exposed to a lot of backlash. Even if the other person is a little sloppy, or if I am a little right and the other person seems to be wrong, I often put up with it so as not to disturb the place (protect myself). But sometimes I insist and feel uncomfortable. What I feel at such times is what is said in the shadows, isn't it? It's better to be told directly. I am very lonely at that time.
 
Through my experience, I think that people who often criticize others anonymously or behind the scenes at drinking parties, etc. often have their own evaluations overwhelmingly higher than those evaluated by others. It seems that it is often done by jealousy and dissatisfaction of people who are not evaluated correctly.
 
Similar to this, I feel uncomfortable with anonymous criticism on SNS etc., for example, many people go in the same direction and hit a lonely target. Even if the target is bad, I regret how to overwhelm the target in large numbers and arrogantly by reasoning that is widely and correctly accepted without revealing itself. The media also quotes such statements in a way that all the people feel in the same way. I feel doubts about the existence of the mass media of the opportunistic attitude that do not have their own point of view.
 
It is said that only a few people speak out on the Internet such as SNS, and most of them are just watching. Japanese people who are modest in self-assertion seem to have a particularly strong tendency. The so-called "silent majority" is the majority of people who don't say anything. So, I'm in my own stance so that I can't be taken to a strange place by a few loud people, "You think so, of course ??? Common sense, everyone thinks so!" I strongly want to keep it. Like a meeting of air-dominated, unproductive, conservative companies that are fooled by strange self-confidence and criticism of clever dissent.
 
So far, I have taken up negative statements about anonymous statements. However, I think that it is useful to pick up in advance the voice that you can manage to express yourself if you are anonymous, although you can not actually raise your voice in public. As if the school teacher closed the eyes of all the students and then raised their hands to encourage the confessions of the guilty student. It may be possible to avoid extreme misery by collecting and analyzing information including anonymity from an early stage and making improvements based on it. Otherwise, it may allow the domineering of people whose way of speaking is strangely attractive, regardless of what they are talking about. For example, by properly and honestly dealing with the criticisms used by opportunistic populist politicians, we can create a situation where we are less likely to be deceived by populist politicians. I think so.
 
I publish a blog with my name and face. I've been hit behind the scenes and felt unpleasant, so I don't want to be that cowardly! That is one of the major reasons for doing so. However, I have to listen to the unnamed opinions and, if necessary, respond appropriately and take care of them! I also think that. On the other hand, I'm tired of anonymous criticism, slander, and ridicule. There is no one who can make a mistake, and if you make a mistake, you can correct it, and you can often learn by making a mistake. I think that way, and I want to be as forgiving as possible.
