Chapter 1778 Queen of Hell (49)
Fleur Delacour, like many French youths, chose to leave France to work in Gringotts, England. She later met Bill Weasley there. The two got married and had children. They were supposed to live a sweet and loving life. But because of the Second Wizarding War, great changes have taken place.
Her husband became a half-werewolf and became the most discriminated against in the wizarding world. Even the pure-bloods who had been suppressed became less unacceptable because of hunting them. At least the pure-blooded nobles started again. In the Ministry of Magic, "Faithful" must have appeared.
Life is sometimes like this. The originally happy and beautiful campus life has become very stressful with employment guidance, and people have to worry about the future. In order to take care of Harry's mood and allow him to calm down on the road to death, Hogwarts has always adopted the "happy education method" during his studies, and did not train qualified Aurors and others according to the standards of the Ministry of Magic. Talents. In the magical world of Britain, the talents are dying, and the US Ministry of Magic does not have the same long-arm jurisdiction as their Muggle government. It is also because of the gun issue in the United States. Wizards need to register their wands and set up a wand registration office. There are many regulations. Although the US Congress passed relevant bills in 1934, all automatic weapons must be registered with the Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Firearms, and Explosives. The transportation, purchase, possession and transfer of fully automatic weapons are strictly prohibited. . But only need to go to Texas to see, who doesn't carry the terrible submachine gun?
Who is more powerful than the wand or the gun, you must have a clear understanding, don't think that you can do whatever you want with magic.
The era in Grindelwald was very different from the modern era. At that time, the streets were full of "violins". The private contractor who invented this weapon did not catch up with the First World War. At that time, the war was aborted because of the Spanish flu. Without a war contractor, it would go bankrupt. Later, the gang saw its concealment. During the prohibition period Shine. This type of "typewriter" was installed by the U.S. Army during World War II. Among those who joined the army, there were not only law-abiding youths, but also gang members, who had become accustomed to using this weapon.
Furthermore, in order to maintain employment, civilian enterprises were transferred to military industry. These day-to-day contracts were changed to keep the production line running. This is an industry. Even if it is sinful, it feeds the Americans. This is also the core of the Anglo-Saxon model. Commercialism. Compared with the high taxes in Europe, the tax rate in the United States is much lower. It is still very attractive to investors who are immigrants. As for whether he can survive in the world's largest and most developed economy, it will Look at your own strength.
I misestimated my own strength and thought I was excellent, but in fact I encountered even better people being eliminated. That is also my own problem. As for the newcomers to your place, it is normal that they are not familiar with the shady and legal systems. New immigrants How many generations are there in the United States? Several generations of old immigrants pioneered the creation of America as it is now. Some families not only experienced World War II, but also experienced the Civil War, the War of Independence, and the War of King Philip. These people can't use the law to sue.
If the former military contractors were only limited to entities, they now include Internet companies. They can be used not only to monitor emails and messages, but also to fight information warfare. Many hackers around the world want to attack the Pentagon to steal intelligence, as long as they can break through. The Information Security Center of the Pentagon. This hacker is a top expert in the hacker world. The intelligence agency will recruit him, and the recruiting will not result in a physical kidnapping. After a few years in jail, when he is released, the information technology will be updated again. Can he continue? It is still a problem to call the wind and rain in the underground world.
Electronic information technology is so important that Congress passed a bill that when the salary of a computer practitioner is higher than a certain standard, he will no longer be protected by the US labor law. The labor law affects the safety, wages, and benefits of employees. Strict regulations and freedom from labor law means that there is no restriction on the 8-hour working system, and the degree of overtime is completely “free”.
The offices of those big companies seem to be very cool, such as the company that Bill opened. After all, he is also one of the "contractors." There are many young people who like the company's "corporate culture" and are fighting for a job. Broken blood.
And those programmers who actually work in it will not really work hard overtime. They will take a high salary and outsource their work to programmers in other countries. Anyway, the "supplier" will send the code after the code is written. Just give it to him. This is also the common mode of "contractors". They work for others, otherwise they have the time to travel the world and participate in various social activities.
A relatively healthy social model is olive-shaped, with two pointed ends thick in the middle, and the middle class represents the middle class. They are the least informed, and they are completely guided by the media. The bottom and upper levels are often well informed.
The middle class wants to go up, just like the waiter serving dishes in a coffee shop. He hopes that one day he can be the boss and open a coffee chain like Starbucks in the future. However, once the economy deteriorates, people Consumption shrinks, fewer people come to the cafe to drink coffee, and they can make coffee at home. In this way, the owner's cafe will close down and he will become the bottom layer again.
So there is no middle class at all. It is just a concocted imaginary community that is part of the "American Dream", driving an American car, living in a big country house, having a family, a few children and a pet dog, etc., through TV Advertisements give people a sense of picture, as if you are also on the scene, you can't deceive you if you don't believe it.
Popular children spend more time watching TV than in families like Bill. Doesn't his father have a study room? If he hadn't read those books, how would he know that there are reference materials on the shelf that he can use to write thesis?
Many people have the desire to become stronger, but many people can't stick to it and leave. Just like a well digger, they only need to dig a little bit more to drink water. The remaining bite can hold on.
But at this time, people have forgotten what they had originally pursued and wanted, and people have lived so much that they don't know themselves. They may be the wolf of Wall Street, or they may be part of the state apparatus. This is also the characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon model. , The strong is respected.
Americans don't spend the entire summer on vacations like the French do, and no one responds to emails. If the French can still choose between asking for money and getting hits, the weak in the United States have no choice, and the strong have both. The money is terrible, but at least some people's wages are worthy of him. The workers at the bottom have meager wages, and they are the targets of squeeze.
People pray to God that they can go to heaven after death, so that the suffering of living can be endured.
Religion is very active among the people at the bottom, even if it is ignorant in the eyes of the top.
There is a difference of two centuries between the bottom people and the top elites in the United States. The 9/11 incident of a group of firefighters rushing into the dangerous World Trade Center to save people may be the last collective heroism in the United States. The Internet is full of conspiracy theories because they don't believe it. The government, therefore, does not believe that the earth is round, which is again a conspiracy of the elites.
A leader who has lost the ability to mobilize, even if he is a five-star general, is a polished commander. His orders are not executed. In the end, Hitler only has the most loyal followers, his mistress, Ewa, and his dog.
Fortunately, Germany did not invent nuclear weapons at that time. If that button is in the hands of that lunatic, he might really be able to press it and let the people of Berlin and the Allies perish together.
Grindelwald said in his speech that in order to save the world, wizards should occupy their proper place.
Dumbledore disagrees with him, and with the style of Muggle politicians who love to shirk responsibility, the world has not changed for the better to pass the responsibility to the wizard, and then another witch hunt.
He showed the doomsday-like pictures to people, and the descriptions in thousands of words are not as good as witnessing. People mainly receive information from vision, but some people use illusions to confuse people. Compared with facing the cruel reality, illusions have to be more convincing. People are much more pleasant.
In Sartre's play "Confinement", three sinners, one man, two women, are locked in hell. Because there is no mirror, they have to rely on each other's gaze and language to create their own images.
They want each other to see themselves as the image they want to be, but when they return to public life, Garson is a coward, Ines is gay, and Estel is an infanticide.
What Sartre wants to express is that human beings rely too much on knowing themselves from the eyes of others, rather than knowing themselves, because every compliment will be offset by criticism. When he looks in that mirror, he sees thousands of people. Tens of thousands of fragments.
Self-identity is often established at the end of adolescence. It refers to the integration of adolescents' emotions, abilities, goals, values and other characteristics into a unified personality framework, which requires constant goals and beliefs, not necessarily God or other gods, but a combination of multiple personalities Together, it's like integrating the broken mirrors and turning them into a complete mirror again, illuminating a complete portrait of a person.
Many people have not experienced this step of reflection during adolescence. Everyone is busy with exams and studies, and there is no time, and then they start to find employment. Only young people with strong self-identity dare to risk intimacy with others. Because to have a loving relationship with others is to merge one's own identity with the identity of others. There is self-sacrifice or loss here. Only in this way can we establish a truly intimate relationship in love and gain a sense of intimacy. Otherwise, a sense of loneliness will occur.
Keeping pets can solve this loneliness, but if young people don't get married and have children, how can this nation continue?
This is another characteristic of the Anglo-Saxons. They love to go to extremes. The Germans have adopted the Rhine model.
The male and female leaders who developed this model have Alzheimer's disease. For half a century of Western civilization, either madmen or fools have been elected to lead the world. No wonder Marx would say that a healthy brain and a healthy psychology are indispensable conditions for leaders.
People need time to calm down and think, adjust self-unity and various conflicts. Of course, there will be no troubles in this area without thinking.
There were only a few young people in France, but when they went to Britain and the United States, the contradictions became more acute.
However, this is Europa.
The strong swallow the weak, and the weak don't want to be swallowed and can only become stronger. Just like Bismarck said, the cannon range is the truth. Now it's a different mode, but it's the same in the end. The winner is the one who laughs at the end. Sympathetic.
Beggars are usually driven away. No one cares about the stories that happen to them. Of course, they won't get Yamazaki-san's trust. He will tell him the "cocoon rooms" that are closely related to the lives of ordinary people. It's impossible to know the secret here.
