Chapter 1810 Chive Chicken & Milk Thief (Part 2)

Chapter 1810 Leek Chicken & Milk Thief (Part 2)

The British poet Novalis once said: When I give a noble meaning to humble things, a mysterious look to ordinary things, an unknown solemnity to known things, and an infinite appearance to finite things, I romanticize them.

The English word "incest" comes from the Latin word "incestum", which means unchastity and impurity.

The asceticism of medieval Christians originated from ancient Rome. People in ancient Rome lived too much, so people in the Middle Ages went from one extreme to another.

It is normal for a widow to remarry. She not only has to survive herself, but also has children to support. Later, incest became close relative marriage, but the nobles almost all married close relatives, otherwise Queen Victoria's blood disease would not have spread among the European royal family, and the concept of incest became more and more vague.

Incest is absolutely prohibited. Victor Hugo did not agree to divorce Adele no matter how the outside world commented, and Severus said it out. Unlike the Middle Ages, nowadays, both parties can form a new family after divorce, and they don't have children to be involved anyway.

After divorce, the ex-husband can no longer accuse the ex-wife of infidelity. If he is very dissatisfied, why not follow Hugo and agree to divorce instead?

Family ethics are bound to be related to social ethics. In ancient times, population was a resource. Rome would obtain many slaves as labor to build the city of Rome when it went to war.

It is still the same now, but now the "slaves" are not captured by the army, but by themselves, such as the Italian coffin shop owner in the Godfather movie. People educated in Catholic countries are more obedient. The Marshall Plan has a deeper impact on civilians than elites. The Immigration Bureau even has to pick out those young people with high IQ and high obedience from many applications.

Those "assistants" in the fashion circle call themselves "slaves", but they are absolutely unwilling to get rid of their slave status and run towards freedom. Their jobs are so glamorous, many people want them, and they have many more opportunities than ordinary people. They will not be stupid enough to give up the opportunities they have.

There are many children in a big family, and not all of them are mediocre. Bill from the Weasley family is very handsome. If parents distribute high-quality resources equally for the sake of "equality", then children who have the opportunity to achieve greater success will lose the opportunity to be promoted due to lack of resources. The advantage of the Anglo-Saxon model is that it can give high-quality resources to outstanding talents, which is very important for those who think they are excellent but cannot develop due to system and network problems.

There is a joke. A man went to see a psychiatrist. He told the doctor painfully that his brother thought he was a chicken. The doctor asked him, why don't you tell your brother that he is not? The man replied, "No, I need his eggs."

People who go to the United States to seek development are for their personal future. They want to get rid of their backward homeland and live a life they deserve, and this requires the Anglo-Saxon model system. The strong will always be strong, taking away their resources from the weak and concentrating the vast majority of advantages to win. The rise of New York is also due to the monopoly of the surrounding flour milling rights and providing flour to the British Navy. Other farmers will definitely suffer losses, but how can they compete with other East Coast cities if they don't do that?

These people clearly see that the Anglo-Saxon model is wrong but will not correct it, just like the younger brother who sees his older brother and thinks he is a chicken. He needs to "borrow a chicken to lay eggs". It's just that early immigrants are not fools. The current model has been successful after many generations of efforts. Now it is finally time to reap the world. Why should those new immigrants who have just arrived and have not made any contributions get a share of the pie?

Smart people will certainly not serve in the army to exchange for green cards like low-end labor. There are huge differences between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in the United States on the issue of immigration. The Democratic Party hopes to relax immigration conditions. There are many practical problems there, while the Republican Party is unwilling to immigrate and let outsiders take away the country, especially the employment opportunities of the southerners.

The dominance of the US dollar in the world is related to the purchasing power of Americans. Many Americans have the habit of borrowing consumption, and all the goods in the world are sold to them. There is a population base, but no money and desire to buy cannot form purchasing power. Who wants to go to the United States of America doesn't want to let go and spend money and enjoy it?

Beauty is a scarce resource. The British married a Hibiscus, so it's not too much for France to marry a British mixed-race Veela.

Britain refused. Talents and beauties were sucked away, and they still imposed their views on others. This kind of neoliberal marketism is basically a Trojan horse. The real intention of the Americans is to fundamentally change the economic system of many countries, driven by American interests and values.

The "Anti-Foreign Monopoly Act" is like a paladin in white clothes, looking extremely righteous and majestic, but behind that glorious image are all predatory strategic goals, and the realization of this set of non-military military operations requires intelligence provided by intelligence agencies.

There is an underground palace under Napoleon's tomb, where the French president used to have people monitor other people's scandals.

The United States monitors information on bribery, which seems to show the difference between the two countries that also advocate freedom and democracy.

Britain still has a queen. During World War II, the underground tombs were used as the command post of Free France, and the sound of ticking telegraphs should be heard at any time.

The main source of alpha returns comes from the fallacy of others. When a strategy becomes public knowledge if many people know it, it will no longer be effective. After the Battle of Waterloo, Nathan Rothschild received intelligence and sold the British bonds in his hands first. Others followed suit and bought them back when they depreciated to nothing, making a fortune.

The new generation of American veterans do not need to allocate houses after retirement like after World War II. Although Americans are not as likely to lose limbs and lose their labor force in war as in World War II, it is difficult for them to integrate into society again.

There are many veterans among the street vagrants in the United States. There will definitely be promotion issues in the army. These senior officers have housing, annuities, and social status. Without the opportunity for promotion, what is the use of the American dream? Do you have to fight again after retirement?

Napoleon once said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Every soldier has a marshal's stick in his pocket. The "revolving door" style of play like the Pentagon and military contractors has obviously blocked the way to change your destiny through military service.

Not to mention that the French helped win the War of Independence, and the Americans attributed this achievement to the founding father Washington. The outbreak of the French Revolution was also related to the aristocracy's monopoly of upper-level positions.

At that time, France also had "robed aristocrats" and "sword-wearing aristocrats", and there was no opposition between the two aristocratic classes. The aristocrats married each other, and one day you wore a robe and I wore a sword. They were on guard against officers who gradually rose from civilians.

During the War of the Roses in England, some new aristocrats emerged, and these new aristocrats also needed to be rewarded. Lancaster lost to York, so the industry that once belonged to Lancaster had to be distributed to York's meritorious officials.

Prince Eugene made France lose the land south of the Alps. Louis XVI did not get any benefits from the War of Independence except for a victory slogan. Where did the king get the benefits to reward these officers with military merits?

The reason why Caesar was supported by the soldiers was that in addition to his clear rewards and punishments, he also took those officers loyal to him to the Senate to occupy seats. Although these officers were no match for the noble orators in quarrels, the nobles were no match for them in physical combat.

The heart is protected by the sternum, but the kidneys are not. A stab from the back to the waist can also be fatal. The first knife Caesar stabbed was actually aimed at the arm.

How could these nobles who could not kill and had no military accomplishments command the Roman legions?

Caesar brought glory and status to these civilian officers, but the nobles tried their best to suppress them and protect their seats.

But this was their last resistance. Those officers who were loyal to Caesar assassinated the senators who participated in the assassination. When Octavian became emperor, no one dared to repeat the same mistake.

The power obtained by seeking favors made those who thought they had real talents and knowledge dissatisfied. In addition to using force, the revolution also had to replace the king. However, after the king was beheaded, France fell into chaos and siege.

At the Antwerp International Conference in 1793, all countries agreed to destroy the country established by the regicide. At this time, the "Archangel" of the Jacobins, Saint Just, led the army to the border to guard and resist the invasion of the enemy.

It is not necessarily that good-looking people cannot fight. There are also people with both talent and beauty.

The Jacobins discovered many fierce generals, and they also had the courage to use extraordinary people in extraordinary times, otherwise there would not be Bonaparte leading the French army to cross the Alps and invade Italy.

Imagination can rule the world, but it is not a fantasy. People in the Middle Ages were superstitious about witchcraft and priests. When the plague raged in Rome in 1680, the Roman citizens thought it was the devil, that is, the anger of the ancient gods, so they killed a bull at the Colosseum to sacrifice to Jupiter. Of course, this sacrifice was invalid. Later, they held a parade to pray for forgiveness from Mary and the saints.

The return of theocracy will certainly bring order, but it will also bring other troubles. When Charles X returned, the monks who were hunted by the people set up a huge ceremonial procession and walked on the streets of Paris for several hours, as if they wanted to use this method to make the common people accept the divine right of the king again.

The French king implemented the feudal system, which made France lag behind its neighbor Britain in industry for decades. When Napoleon was in power, he established many unequal trade conditions, including tariff barriers and continental blockades, in order to protect the fragile domestic industry. The Qing Dynasty did not break the feudal forces, and even if it bought the most advanced gunboats from Britain and France, it still did not have the ability to manufacture them. Japan began to learn from Europe and the United States in an all-round way after the Meiji Restoration. Although the feudal system can make some privileged people happy physically and mentally, it is not conducive to progress.

After the Restoration, Japan wanted to replace China and become the representative of the East in the Western civilization circle, and an advanced country. But Japan's advanced technology still mainly relies on the support of Europe and the United States. Before the 1980s, Japan's manufacturing industry recovered because of the support of the United States. In order to protect its own manufacturing industry, Japan took advantage of the low exchange rate, which was conducive to exports. Later, the Americans felt that they had lost money and withdrew everything. The overprotected manufacturing industry could not withstand the capacity upgrade under the joint pressure of Europe and the United States, and then entered a depression.

In the past few decades, the manufacturing industry has not made any progress, but medicine has continued to progress, and doctors have become the most respected profession.

Everyone has their own considerations for reading. Some girls read to gild themselves and have more advantages when dating. Nakamura Yuki is a combative female warrior educated in the American style. She actually plans to let a state in the United States legislate to limit the amount of added sugar in food.

The price of raw sugar in the United States is 22 cents per pound, while the price in the international market is 10 cents per pound. Simply put, the United States imposes a 100% tariff on imported sugar.

Even if we don’t mention the consumption of cola, ice cream, biscuits, cakes and other foods all contain sugar. These food processors will include this tariff when calculating costs. At the very least, it is hundreds of millions of dollars, and this money is the Congress that makes the people pay more invisibly.

This is not a consumption tax, but a tariff, which is the tariff that the North American people refused to pay to Britain before the War of Independence. This is not to protect the local sugar industry. The sugar industry will also give election money to congressmen. Compared with using climate weapons to deal with Indonesia, which refuses US aid, Lucius thinks this motive is more likely.

Ordinary civilians don’t care about the price of commodities. Who can’t take out 12 cents in their pocket?

What do the Americans want to do? Are they trying to take the opportunity to practice the routine of the Anti-Corruption Law again?

In the last Nigeria incident, the official who took bribes was a member of the so-called "Ministry of Culture".

The root of herd mentality is the desire to be right. Other people's behavior can provide useful information. For example, when everyone is writing hard for an exam, even if you can't see other people's papers, you can know what they are doing.

Cultural conformity is related to mass media.

People of the same era often like the same things. Young people who grew up listening to MTV on TV don't know the craze caused by the Beatles.

People are easily influenced by a knowledgeable and trustworthy person. Voldemort was once such a person.

It is hard to imagine what consequences Dumbledore would have if he asked him to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Clausewitz of Germany said in On War that the best defense is offense.

The current way of war is no longer something that the Great Wall and the Maginot Line can defend, let alone a brick wall in Diagon Alley. Those little wizards who are born in civilian families and love to eat candy bring these cultures processed by others into the wizarding world. Do they know that Muggles are not all good people?
