In this episode of Waldo Moment, the last chapter of Black Mirror, the cartoon bear went to participate in the election. Why does he get the support of the people?

In fact, I think the episode of voting for Waldo and the national anthem in the first season is probably the least sci-fi episode in the Black Mirror series. Although science fiction is not strong enough, these two episodes have the most spicy part of Black Mirror-a complete satire on British politics.

If the episode "National Anthem" satirizes the government and the Prime Minister from the top of the political system, then this episode starts from the bottom, and voting democracy and online media continue to spread, resulting in the paradox that candidates are hand-made. This phenomenon seems to be reflected in the so-called democratic politics in many western countries. For example, when Trump and Hillary debated the US presidential election, online jokes went viral. ) Waldo, a blue cartoon bear who swore, and the team behind him won popularity and won the "Democratic Party" vote. God, suddenly it feels really like the US presidential election. Their candidates also have their own teams to make some suggestions on how to gain public support.

Back to the plot, a key moment when people can vote for Waldo is that after the male politician announced his true identity, he finally couldn't bear it and incoherently expressed his anger. At this time, the public's entertainment psychology reappeared and spread wildly on the Internet, voting for Waldo to be elected. Finally, Waldo's image was spread all over the world and continued to play an inflammatory role. Therefore, it can be seen that Waldo can be respected by the people and win votes, just like a joke in democratic politics.

After watching this episode, I really feel that politics is not something you can understand casually, but something you can control casually. If we preach democracy blindly, it will be really chaotic. No matter who is in power, there will always be some flawed decisions, but the initial motivation of these decisions is to develop in a good direction. Conclusion: Our socialist democratic centralism is superior.

One more thing, those who follow the trend in society are even more hateful. On weekdays, irresponsible remarks and videos are posted online to confuse some people who don't understand, and some people who are particularly brainless follow suit. It looks really annoying.
