Corrupt officials are a cancer of society. They abuse their power, take bribes, and make people lose confidence and expectations for social fairness and justice. However, the behavior of corrupt officials to frantically delete posts related to public opinion has undoubtedly made people more aware of their inner panic and fear of the people. The behavior of deleting posts not only reveals their attempt to cover up their crimes, but more importantly, it shows their anxiety about public opinion and their fear of people's awakening.
First, the tide of deleting posts caused public outrage
When an official is exposed because of his corruption or embezzlement scandals and other violations of law and discipline, he is unwilling to admit his mistakes and actively correct them. Instead, he chooses to block the dissemination of information by deleting posts. This will not help solve the problem, but will further deepened the people's distrust of them. The wave of censorship has become increasingly visible in the Internet age, and people have realized that rather than being candid about problems, these officials are trying to cover up wrongdoing.
Second, behind the panic
Behind the deletion of posts by corrupt officials reveals their inner panic. They are afraid of being exposed by the public, of losing their power and status, and of facing legal sanctions. This fear comes not only from the exposure of its corrupt behavior, but also from the increasingly serious situation of people's awakening. With the transparency of information and the dissemination of social media, citizens are more daring to speak out, expose injustice, and demand justice. Corrupt officials felt tremendous pressure from the grassroots, so they chose to respond by deleting posts, trying to curb the spread of public opinion.
Third, the fear of the people
Deletion of posts not only shows the fear of corrupt officials for their own position of power, but also demonstrates their fear of the awakening of the people. The progress of a society cannot be separated from the awakening and participation of citizens. However, corrupt officials are precisely afraid that the people will realize their rights and responsibilities, fear the people's supervision of power, and fear that the people will realize the common interests and demands. They try to suppress the speech of the people and put the people in a passive position so that they can continue to profit from it.
Fourth, one's own weakness
Corrupt officials' fear of deleting posts does not help solve the problem, but makes it worse. Their fear not only exposed their own weakness, but also showed their fear of the power of the people. Social progress requires the awakening and participation of citizens, and more people need to speak out, expose injustice, and promote reform. During this process, the deletion of posts by corrupt officials cannot prevent the spread of the truth, but will only arouse more people's righteous indignation and fighting spirit. Let us work together to firmly oppose corruption, defend justice, and build a better society.
