Chapter 1338 American Unrest and Racial Disturbance
There is going to be a big mess in the United States. This is not a rumor. In fact, anyone who is in it, and those who pay attention to the current affairs, can feel the turbulent undercurrent lurking under the calm sea.
The cause of the situation still has to start with the incident with Nick Fury. Although the U.S. government has expressed its attitude and even made sacrifices for this matter. But the matter did not subside as they had hoped. On the contrary, it began to intensify until it completely caused turmoil in the entire American society.
The capitalists used this incident as an excuse to promote the overbearing Stark government. They asked some so-called experts to compile a large number of articles and analysis, which explained in detail the state of the United States that is no longer suitable for capital investment. Then these capitalists used this incident and the US financial crisis as an excuse to gradually withdraw their investment projects from the US.
A large number of projects have been withdrawn, which will naturally make some factories and enterprises unsustainable. Although it is not possible to close the door directly, a large number of layoffs is already inevitable.
And on these matters of layoffs, these capitalists have also put their minds to it. Some white capitalists lay off workers mainly from people of color in their own companies. And some companies with other ethnic backgrounds regard white people as the main target of layoffs. The former can be said to be racial discrimination, while the latter can be said to be a kind of reverse racial discrimination, no matter which one it is, it has brought influence and threat to American society today.
Of course, the retrenched people of color could not be reconciled. They began to march on a large scale to protest the discrimination that was clearly aimed at them. The same is true for those white people who have been laid off. They have always thought highly of themselves, and when they suddenly face this special racial discrimination, they must be full of evil fire. It is inevitable for them who are unwilling to seek justice for themselves. Under such circumstances, demonstrations naturally became their best choice.
It can be said that things like parades have become a feature of those countries that flaunt democracy. Many people think that the parade can solve some problems, but they don't know that the parade is actually difficult to solve any problems. Even if they got some concessions on some things, it is not their credit. It's just that some people behind them have reached a consensus on certain interests. So in the end they were just joking around.
Of course, not all parades are just nonsense. There are still quite a few of them, which can be regarded as actions deliberately organized by people with aspirations. They use this method to express the so-called public opinion, and use this method to satisfy their ulterior motives. As it is now, it would be impossible to organize a huge anti-discrimination parade in such a short period of time without the contribution of some caring people.
The purpose of these caring people is very simple, that is to expand the storm of racial discrimination caused by the layoffs. And if you want to expand this turmoil, the most basic thing is to turn this kind of parade into a riot,
Let the situation develop in an uncontrollable direction.
This is not an easy thing, but it is not difficult either. Because the United States itself has quite serious problems. Although this country composed of immigrants has been flaunting democracy, freedom and equality, in fact, they have always been one of the most racially discriminatory places in the world.
From the slaughter of Indians before the founding of the country to the black slaves before the Civil War. Every inch of land in this country has blood and innocent souls from other ethnic groups. Although the times have developed to this day, they have begun to talk about civilization and resist those so-called racial discrimination concepts. But that is when no personal interests are involved. Once some personal interests are involved, how many people will be willing to maintain this concept of equal treatment is a very interesting question.
Capitalists know the answer to this question very well, so they start to make big moves on such questions. On the surface, they are laying off employees in their own companies, but secretly they are organizing these laid-off employees to start large-scale demonstrations. It was okay at the beginning, in order to form a larger scale and cause a longer-term impact, these behind-the-scenes promoters have not done anything special. But as the time matured step by step, they began to be a little unbearable.
Under the arrangement of some behind-the-scenes forces, the parade groups representing the two camps began to clash head-on. From the initial confrontation and stalemate to the subsequent big fights, many inducements can be said to be the result of these people's self-directed efforts. And such a result can't satisfy them, in order to make this conflict more intense. Some people began to deliberately introduce some special groups to join.
For example, the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan is a non-government group in the United States that pursues white supremacy and colored nationalism. It is also the oldest and largest racist organization in the entire United States. The organization was originally formed by veterans of the defeated Confederate troops in the Civil War. So innately, they are full of malice towards all ethnic groups of color, especially black people.
They are notorious, but also guilty. Over the past many years, they have done quite a few outrageous things. This frustrates them for a while, but it never goes away. And today, this organization has developed to a considerable extent. Its large number of personnel can definitely be called the most racially discriminatory organization. And when it comes to the weight of racial discrimination, they are definitely ranked at the top of all organizations.
After undergoing suppression, destruction and rebirth, the Ku Klux Klan now has at least four million members across the United States. Most of these members' thoughts are very extreme. Some people even publicly announced in the face of public opinion that if we were able to kill millions of Jews back then, then we can also kill more than 10 million people of color today.
They can definitely be called thugs if they can say such things in front of public opinion. And introducing such thugs into such a conflict would naturally lead to immeasurable consequences.
The consequences were quickly revealed. As the confrontation between the two sides became more and more serious day by day, the Ku Klux Klan seized the opportunity and drove a fuel tank truck into the crowd of demonstrators of colored ethnic groups while the police in charge of management were not paying attention. They rampaged through the crowd with a fuel tank truck without any scruples, killing dozens of people on the spot in one fell swoop. In the end, they ignited the fuel tank truck frantically, and used the gasoline in the tank truck to explode, which directly caused a serious accident in which hundreds of people were injured.
This time, the entire United States was shocked. And such a crazy move has completely stimulated the nerves of those ethnic groups of color, making them become desperate.
While these ethnic groups began to complain to the government, they began to forcibly demolish some statues with special significance in the United States. For example, the statue of Robert Edward Lee, the general who once represented the forces of the Confederate States, became a thorn in the side of those black people. No matter what, they have to let this kind of eyesore representing white supremacy disappear in front of them.
Of course, those white people would definitely not let this happen. A large number of white supremacists gathered in the park to stop the atrocities of these black people. And that gives those black people a chance. You must know that many blacks in the United States have unclean backgrounds. Sometimes they can even do stupid things like robbery at gunpoint in broad daylight.
Impulsive and irritable, simple-minded, and most importantly, psychological weakness caused by inferiority complex. These people are the easiest to cause trouble. And now, they have made a very terrible thing.
When the white supremacists insisted on preventing these blacks from dismantling the statue of General Lee, a large number of blacks took out a large number of guns and weapons, and shot at these white supremacists without any scruples. No one could have imagined that things would take such a turn, neither the police nor the habitually arrogant white people could have imagined that things would turn out like this. So it turned into a tragedy, and hundreds of people lost their lives directly in such a mass shooting.
Afterwards, although all blacks involved in the shooting were arrested. But want to punish them through the law. But it is not so easy.
Because black people don't allow it. If you want to have a fair trial for these shooting criminals in the name of the law, you must stop the mouths of the vast majority of black people. And if you want to stop the mouths of those black people, you must give an explanation for the oil tanker incident that happened before.
The two are completely causal. The horrific shootings today would not have happened without the madness of the Ku Klux Klan. Therefore, the opinions of the black representatives are very clear. If the government really wants to try the criminals of these shootings, then it must arrest all the perpetrators of the oil tanker incident and try them together. And that's where the problem lies.
The Ku Klux Klan has a long history, and many of them are backed by some senior state government officials. After the oil tanker incident broke out, the Ku Klux Klan and some state governments that supported them had already begun to shelter the perpetrators of the entire incident. Among them, some politicians of the state government have spoken publicly, characterizing this kind of incident as an accident. There are even some cryptic voices, saying that as long as the Stark government is forced to deal with the 3K Klan, then their state governments will directly demand independence.
To do so could be said to be setting the entire Stark government on fire. If the Stark government does not make a reply, the turmoil in the entire United States will not be able to calm down for a day. They will intensify until they completely shake the foundation of the entire United States. This is absolutely unacceptable to the entire Stark government. So in order to solve this matter, Tony Stark made an important decision.
