🇬🇧 面對1984式「New Truth」歷史,已跳船的監警會前國際專家小組成員、英國基爾大學自然科學研究院院長Clifford Stott,在Twitter如此回應:
It seems evident that the authorities in Hong Kong, including the HKPF, are aligning to produce a coordinated attack on the pro-democracy movement.
We should perhaps not be surprised then, that this will revolve around a writing of their own history of 2019 in a manner that is in line with their ideological position of portraying the protest crowds as irrational mobs.
The strategy involves a portrayal of these mobs being manipulated by criminal agitators, many of whom they argue are funded and influenced by antithetical external forces. On the basis of the evidence I have seen I would suggest that nothing could be further from the truth.
Indeed, as crowd psychologists we have often seen the ways in which this form of crowd theory is used by political actors to deny the legitimate basis for protest, mask the role of state in the construction of crowd violence and to legitimise reactionary forms of policing.
