二心集’s shameless self-exposure

free discussion

Erxinji (二心集) had long pursued the life of the exploiting classes. When he had just returned to the forum, he mentioned that he had once obtained ill-gotten gains by charging fellow workers to “help” them with labor arbitration. Before long, he also exposed his “run-away” ideology, believing that working conditions were better in the imperialist countries of Europe and North America. After the so-called “work-related injury,” Erxinji once again used all kinds of lame excuses to evade labor and maintain a parasitic lifestyle, absurdly claiming that he had an intellectual disability, was unable to speak or understand written language normally, and was incapable of performing physical labor—and therefore had to engage in mental labor, among other things. Even after his disguises were repeatedly exposed, Erxinji still stubbornly refused to admit defeat, brazenly insisting on his twisted logic in public, despite having neither sound arguments nor any shortage of indignation. The Association upholds the principle of “punishing past mistakes to prevent future ones, and curing the illness to save the patient.” Even though Erxinji neither acknowledged nor corrected his mistakes, it still criticized his problems and allowed him to remain active on the forum.

Erxinji not only failed to appreciate this; he instead harbored resentment—although he denied this verbally at the time, the circumstances below speak for themselves:

During the forum’s group movie-watching session on the evening of August 30, in response to Qian Renling’s questions, Erxinji revealed in the chat channel that he was currently preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, planned to get into graduate school and find a job paying 12,000 yuan a month, and had purchased online courses in mathematics and English at 200 yuan per subject. He said that he had returned to the forum simply to see familiar people, but after seeing people such as jqr defect back to the old society and resume their old lives, it “showed that making money takes priority over activism”; therefore, he too wanted to “live a small life.” He said that he did not resent the Association for previously requiring him to engage in ideological struggle and give up some personal interests, because he thought it was “pretty fun.”

Erxinji once again exposed the lie behind his supposed “intellectual disability,” openly proclaiming the traitor’s philosophy that speculation and exploitation are justified. He even claimed that ideological struggle was “pretty fun,” acting extremely arrogant on the assumption that the chat records would not be directly seen by Association members at the time. Erxinji went so far as to completely invert right and wrong, saying that he had been expelled because he was unable to complete the Association’s tasks (failing the assessment and being unable to write submissions)—in reality, this was a vicious attack on the Association’s line. After being reminded that he had only changed his story after first revealing his obsession with “Train Girls,” he then claimed that so-and-so had also been expelled [in reality, the traitors all defected of their own accord; the Association did not expel them for failing to complete tasks or for purely lewd pursuits], said that the people in his group “were all hopeless,” and that, having recognized this, they might as well “go back to being unremolded intellectuals.” Erxinji also said that the defectors were all “doing pretty well” and must have higher incomes than he did; he was going to prepare for graduate school, so people should leave him alone.

Erxinji’s claim that the people in his group “were all hopeless” was an attempt to rationalize his own treacherous conduct by spreading defeatism and disparaging the revolution—the implicit message being: if all the old-timers defected, and the reason was that they were simply “hopeless” to begin with, then how many of these new faces can really “make it”? They will probably end up following the same old path sooner or later. Someone who can become obsessed with anime and manga can also be corrected through ideological struggle. In reality, defection was precisely the result of insufficient ideological struggle; it was the result of the defectors’ subjective unwillingness to give up their personal interests and persist in ideological struggle; it was the result of ideological problems remaining unresolved for too long; and it was the result of bourgeois ideology overcoming proletarian ideology in their minds—not evidence that people were inherently “hopeless.” Erxinji beautifies himself as though he were some worldly sage who had seen through everything, while in fact he is practicing liquidationism: “Since the problem is so serious, why not abandon the struggle?” He reverses cause and effect, making it seem as though his extreme individualism and unwillingness to correct his problems were merely the result of an objective lack of ability.

Erxinji has studied Marxism to some extent, yet he continues, time and again, to make a series of outrageous claims—self-righteously, brazenly, and knowingly repeating his mistakes. It is truly repulsive.

This person even claims that they were fired because they couldn’t produce submissions. What a shameless distortion of the facts and attempt to shift the blame. They say they have an intellectual disability and can’t do physical labor. I don’t know whether they actually have an intellectual disability, but they certainly seem more adept than most people at scheming for their own advancement and profit. :enraged_face:

As far as I know, any one of the illnesses he claims to have would leave him barely alive, so how would he have time to participate in a forum? The most absurd part is that, to prove he had suffered an occupational injury, he claimed he had been directly struck by a 25-amp current at a factory. Anyone with basic knowledge knows that a current of just 100 mA passing through the human body can cause cardiac arrest and death—let alone being hit by 250 times that lethal amount.

I still vaguely remember him saying that, at his worst, his body temperature was only in the 20s. I can’t remember clearly, though. If he really did say that, it would be utterly absurd—biologically speaking, he’d already be a corpse.

In order to maintain his shameful parasitic lifestyle, Erxinji has continually deceived everyone, to the point of having no regard even for the organization. When his comrades had not yet seen through him and still felt deep sympathy for his situation, he would frequently produce hospital medical records to make himself appear critically ill. It was only when some comrades carefully examined the wording on his medical records that they discovered he merely had mild symptoms—ones that Chinese-revisionist doctors had included just to pad the numbers. Many of the medicines from the hospital that he constantly mentioned were over-the-counter drugs or even health supplements. That was when he was exposed. When everyone raised doubts, he kept arguing and trying to overturn the accusations, pretending that he could barely speak coherently, while the symptoms he described were full of inconsistencies. Everyone pointed out that his “illness” was an “ideological illness” and a “parasitic illness,” and offered him a way out by continuing his labor-based re-education. Yet he stubbornly insisted on lying at home for nine months, and even wanted to use those “illnesses,” like a member of the lumpenproletariat, to swindle an enormous fine from the factory, utterly disgracing the image of the proletariat. Afterwards, he continued deceiving comrades on the forum who were unaware of his circumstances and continued to remain separated from labor. It is said that at one meeting he even awkwardly pronounced the initials and finals of Chinese separately, trying to pretend that his brain had been damaged by electricity and that he could no longer even read Chinese. He was quickly exposed by everyone again.

The incident on August 30 made the true purpose behind Erxinji’s feigned illness, as well as his true attitude toward the organization and the revolution, perfectly clear. Now he is actually planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination, becoming an even bigger parasite; and his attitude toward criticism from revolutionary comrades is apparently that he finds it “very amusing”……

jqr was also there the first time we held a democratic life meeting, so he heard it. 二心集 deliberately pronounced the characters very, very slowly, but whenever he became emotionally agitated, his speech would start becoming fluent and normal again. When we demanded to know what was going on, he first played dumb and said, “It’s always….. been…… like this….” Then he started stammering again.
I think 二心集’s moral compass has collapsed too, and he has become like a thug. We originally planned to ask him whether he felt any resentment, approaching it with the attitude of helping him and setting him right. Even if he said he resented us, we could still reason with him and lay out the facts: we had planned to work together in the past, and we had all criticized one another. He had criticized me several times too, and what he said had been reasonable. I thought that perhaps his conscience might stir and there might still be a chance. But then he came out with the thug-like “This is fun,” as if saying, “I’m just playing with you. Look at you all.” This also shows that his view of the revolution has completely changed.
We also asked him why he still came, and he said that, in fact, he “wanted to see his comrades from the old days.” But according to the nonsense he spouted, those people had either left or fled, and even jqr could not be bothered to pay attention to him. I think that even if he truly misses those old times, in reality he is only trying to salvage the last of his dignity, thinking, “I used to be part of this too, taking part in activities, and I was one of the old comrades. I was only demoted because I didn’t do my work properly.” Putting on makeup for himself at the democratic life meeting was also just an attempt to show off in front of us newcomers, so he could leave looking “respectable.” In reality, he was using the revolutionary organization to make himself appear as though he “didn’t have that many problems.”

Body temperature is the same as room temperature, right? This kind of statement is basically promoting the legitimacy of parasitism while throwing all science out the window.
