Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1743 The Queen of Hell ([-])
The generation born after World War II used to be called the "Golden Generation". Unlike their parents during the Great Depression and World War II, the era of the "Golden Generation" was not experienced by the United States like Europe war, and the US dollar became the global currency because of the large amount of gold reserves.After returning from Europe, the veterans not only received courtesy, but also received real material benefits because of the abundance of materials.

At that time, the United States built a lot of infrastructure to promote employment. Many skyscrapers were built in the city, and many small houses were built in the countryside.

The Marshall Plan made the United States so popular that it is reasonable to say that the "golden generation" should be the happiest generation. How did they become "hippies" and the beat generation in the eyes of the elders?
Imagine a family, a father and son, the father was born during the Great Depression, and they lived in a postwar government house for ex-soldiers, because the son of the "golden generation" came home for Thanksgiving.

The son, who was in his prime, wanted to chat with his 70-year-old father, but he found that his father's work materials were still on the coffee table at home.

The TV was on, playing a football game, and Mom was busy in the kitchen.

The parents’ generation was very eager for stability and stability, and because of the impact of the Cold War, many families built basements to guard against air raids, and there were many rescue kits in supermarkets, which contained enough water for people to drink for several months.

The children of the "golden generation" almost always watched their parents grow up with all kinds of anxiety and work. Do they want that kind of life?

The son in his prime needs to work, he has a strong sense of morality, and he wants to find a balance between work and personal life, instead of putting all his work focus on work like his parents.

He is also not as anxious as his parents. He is worried that losing his job will make it difficult to find a new job like the Great Depression. As for the war, the Vietnam War was started by the United States. Why did they go to the jungle for an unjust war that has nothing to do with their own interests? Woolen cloth?
There are two horses, if they go hand in hand and the gap is not too big, then they will chase each other and move forward together.

But if one horse runs too fast and the other horse can't catch up anyway, the horse behind will stop running, because its internal drive is not enough.

Going to the Middle East to fight for oil, it is understandable that civilians can enjoy cheap oil when oil resources are plundered.

But Vietnam has fought for 20 years and consumed 4000 billion US dollars for what?
Why would civilians abandon their life in America to go to the jungle full of guerrillas, risking death and even maiming, while the children of rich people enjoy a happy life in peaceful America?

Apart from blind obedience, which makes anyone who does not accept the creeds considered a hater, religious sentiments are relentlessly bigoted and fanatical.

If a hero is embraced by a certain group, then this hero looks like a real god to the group.

Michael Jackson in the rock music scene married Elvis Presley's daughter, as if he had completed a power transfer ceremony. The object of people's fanatical admiration changed from Elvis Presley to him, and people would pass out with excitement when listening to his concert.

In one of his promotional videos, he is followed by a troop that goes as far as the eye can see.It is said that 70 soldiers were mobilized in this promotional film. The actual situation is not so many, and some of them may be synthesized, but Jackson has such a strong appeal from a certain angle.

The Roman Empire was not sustained by force, it produced devout admiration from the masses, and the Arc de Triomphe and the victory it represented drove the Romans into madness.

If a Wall Street elite completes a very beautiful acquisition, but only those who understand his field understand what a remarkable achievement he has made, and others can't understand what he has done at all, then such an achievement The feeling will be greatly reduced.

He was jumping there alone, and the others were just watching. No matter how passionate he was, he would soon feel bored.

The concert is different. Tens of thousands of people shout together like a tsunami. Hitler, Mussolini, and Churchill have all seen that scene before.People spontaneously and voluntarily obey the leaders' ideas, and the leaders' ideas ignite their enthusiasm from the bottom of their hearts.

How can a rock star be a leader?What is he thinking?
If it is said that the French Enlightenment was influenced by the idea of ​​compassion for farmers, there was a poet in the Tang Dynasty in the hippie culture. His name was Han Shan, and he was a monk. Zen Buddhism advocated the liberation of people, emphasizing that everything is empty.

In the past, Han Shan lived in seclusion in the mountains far away from the society, and the secular authority did not restrict him. This touched and inspired the value pursuit of the hippies with their own way and distinctive personality, so Zen thought also played a big role in the hippie culture. heavy role.

After World War II, the United States fell into a conflict between economic development and Protestant ethics. Asceticism is not conducive to economic development. Under the capitalist system, all governance by mainstream political parties is considered from the perspective of pure economic efficiency. At the same time as financialization, in order to maximize profits and ride the wave of globalization, many American companies have chosen to transfer some unskilled labor to less developed countries to reduce labor costs.This does not hinder their own wealth accumulation, but the commodities they produce need to be sold. The financial industry itself will not generate any social wealth, but it can achieve wealth redistribution. The income of the bottom will decrease, and the disposable wealth will also decrease. How to solve it?
If you have something you want, you have to get it, instead of waiting until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when you have enough money to buy it, especially real estate, which has a price of one day.At that time, there were many new immigrants who came because of the "American Dream". They not only took away American job opportunities, but also raised the prices of other commodities. These new immigrants were all elites and wealthy people in their own countries.

Loan consumption has become a trend, just like hippies practicing yoga and eating vegetarian food. Those who are committed to making America "great" again simplify complex social and human problems into economic problems to solve. It is easy to print money, you can just start the machine, but it is very difficult to create people. It is not enough to be born, but to inject souls into their bodies and a promising future.

Consumption activities have become the sole purpose of economic activities, which can create the illusion of prosperity, but Zen criticizes greed, hatred and ignorance in people's hearts, and greed is the root of all suffering and evil in the human living environment.

It also happened that the abstinence of Protestantism blocked the road of economic development, and the power of Protestantism gradually declined, and Zen Buddhism took its place. Even Satan worship began to spread rapidly among young people.Zen regards wandering as a means of pursuing liberation and freedom, but just like Chinese food will change its taste abroad, hippies show it in more extreme ways such as alcoholism and "leaf splitting". What these people want to create is a new order, Establish new relationships between people and themselves, people and others, people and society, people and nature, and people and the earth.The hippies drew a line from what they believed to be a sick society through unruly behavior, arousing people's attention to social issues, and pagan symbols such as nuclear disarmament symbols, the Egyptian symbol of life, and the inverted pentagram also appeared.

This is not uncommon, Washington Capitol Hill is surrounded by a huge inverted pentagram, which was designed by the Freemasonry at the beginning of the city's planning.

The hippies were also a small group of people, but their influence was enormous. It was just that the Soviet Union was still there at that time. After the Soviet Union disintegrated, the United States had time and energy to deal with East Asian issues.

The equality of Americans looks upwards, not downwards. Poor and white European immigrants extricate themselves from the fate of being squeezed by oppressing slaves. They will not look downwards and low-end workers.

The French incorporated the dirty profession of dredgers into the civil service system. Sewers are the conscience of Europe. This is not only the sanitation of cities, but also the spread of diseases such as cholera.

People have the need to contribute to others, which is also the source of social recognition and dignity. India feels that dredging work is too dirty and no one does it. A nation that loves cleanliness and likes to bathe in the Ganges is so poor in urban hygiene. .

The American elite excludes working people from the discussion of public affairs, and believes that people with low education do not have the ability to think and judge.People are also unwilling to work with low wages and no sense of social identity. The streets of the United States have become more and more dirty like India, and Silicon Valley has become the world of Indians.Originally, the caste system was invented in India, and of course they got along well in that system.

The way the Indian people led by Gandhi resisted the British was non-violence and non-cooperation. The real hippies rejected violence. They just wanted to lie in the peach garden they created for a while, do nothing, empty their hearts and minds, and enjoy the relaxing time.

It's just that some strange people came in later, with long hair, tattoos, etc., and hippies were also stigmatized later.

The Americans who grew up in that generation also took off their exotic clothes and put on formal clothes, acting like "adults". The mainstream values, power and material wealth are still ruled by the older generation.But they are still those people in their bones, with one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, such as the famous blue dress.

The next generation who grew up in such an environment are better at disguising, and precepts and deeds are of great significance.Some people who look bad are actually easier to guard against than those who wear the cloak of hypocrisy. Some people even don't think they are bad people at all, and they don't know what immoral things should not be done.Who would have thought that there would be a Death Eater from Hufflepuff Academy, and Buddy Crouch Jr. would also participate in torturing Neville's parents.

A person who knows restraint under carnival is called a kind of virtue. Even if he has problems with his own morality, he also knows that there are some things he can't do. Such a person is also wiser than a person who has fallen into disorder.

Buddy Crouch Jr. was just like those girls in Salem who found it fun, exciting, and novel, and only regretted it when they were killed or held accountable.

When social laws and personal desires conflict, some people will sacrifice society for the realization of personal desires, and some will sacrifice personal desires for society.

Old Buddy Crouch sentenced his son to death in the judge's fair point of view, but it was Mrs. Crouch who died instead of Buddy Crouch Jr.

This is a mother who is willing to die in place of her son. It is difficult for a husband to enjoy this kind of treatment.

It's just that Buddy Crouch Jr. didn't really understand and repent. He still chose another camp to assist Voldemort in his resurrection, just like Regulus Black chose to destroy the Horcrux.

One died as a prisoner at the kiss of a dementor, one was remembered as a hero, and there was even a loyal servant who wished to die in his place.

It doesn't care what the world will become, it just wants to save Master Regulus.

The servant's name was Klicher, the same name the Creator gave to all his creatures.

Such a feeling of total devotion to one person is rare, and Sirius Black didn't get it from Klitsch anyway.

He died in the Battle of the Ministry of Magic. In fact, he could not go because of his bottom strength in the Order of the Phoenix. On the contrary, Snape, the head of the Order of the Phoenix, should have gone but did not. Sirius went to protect his godson.

Before being taken away, Buddy Crouch Jr. said he would return to Azkaban like a hero.

There is Winky the house elf by his side, and she takes care of little Buddy Crouch like a mother.

This is the nature of female animals, and female wolves also have it.

Unlike Dobby, she had a drinking problem after being kicked out of her home, like those street bums.

Was alcoholism causing her homelessness?
Home is originally something that everyone has, but now it has become the goal of a person's lifelong struggle.

What does the population problem have to do with the dregs of society who don't have a permanent home?
When he is drunk, he can enter a dream, and there is a paradise in the dream, where he does not have to cry.

Although the American Dream is also a dream, this purely physical dream is not affected by TV and public opinion. Finally, there is a clean place in this world without those who love to be life mentors and spread fanatical success theories.

As for those posters of superheroes that can be seen everywhere in the streets, maybe there is a smiling face of "Joker".

Even devils were once angels. (even devil once was an angel)

If there is no room for people, if you push people too far, there will be such a lunatic with anti-social personality. He is much more likely to appear than the mutated Hulk after being irradiated. How many Bruce Wayne will there be then?
