Chapter 861: Bright Stars (VI)

"This time, he is not fighting alone."

In the office of Arkham Sanatorium, Schiller smiled and said: "There must be many mysterious organizations that will reveal information about this plan to him and give him some insignificant suggestions."

"What makes me a little strange is, what good will this do for you? Don't tell me that you are kind-hearted and just want to help mutants?" Strange took a sip of water and said: "I don't have any special feelings towards mutants. Although I don't hate them, I don't have any good feelings either, because when I was in middle school, I missed an exam because a mutant classmate suddenly broke out. They are quite troublesome."

" I think that whether it is using Asgard to remove the Red Gate Lan equipment, or using the molten steel production to force Wakanda, or Nick's equipment support, it is just a stopgap measure. "Stark sighed and said: "The confrontation between ordinary people and mutants will never end. Even if ordinary people want to end it, if someone doesn't want it to end, it will never end."

"Humans are like this. They must pick the weakest one among their own kind to bully. The rich will bully the poorest one among their own kind, and the poor will bully the poorer one. Even beggars will bully those who are weaker than themselves. This is the bad nature of human beings." Stark shook his head and said.

"Indeed, without the Red Gate Lan Project, they will still have Plan B and Plan C. As long as the mutants are not extinct, the confrontation between the two sides will not stop..."

Schiller leaned on the chair, looked at Stark and said: "Why do you think ordinary people are so repulsive to mutants?"

"Of course it's because they are uncontrollable."

"On the surface, it is true, but it is far more than that."

Schiller nodded and said: "Yes, the sudden outbreak of mutant power will cause harm, but think about it carefully, who is hurt?"

"Who?" Strange looked at Schiller with some curiosity. He felt that Schiller must have some "brilliant ideas" and he was very interested in it.

Schiller smiled mockingly and said, "If one day, a mutant explodes on the subway, who do you think he is more likely to hurt? The politician who drives a luxury car and has a row of bodyguards every day, or the office worker who rushes to the subway every day to get to work?"

"Of course it's the latter." Strange answered without thinking, he paused, and then said, "Those rich guys won't squeeze into the subway."

After that, he kept glancing at Stark, who pursed his lips unnaturally and said, "I'm not used to physical contact with others, and the signal in the subway is not good, which will delay my work..."

"Give another example, a mutant suddenly explodes and hurts two people at the same time, and the other One of them is Peter, who is still a teenager and has not yet transformed into a spider, and Tony, who is also young but has inherited a large inheritance. Both of them have suffered the same serious injuries. Who will be more affected? "

"It must be Peter." Tony said with his arms folded: "The economic situation of his family is a bit difficult to say that it is an ordinary family. Basically, it is still hovering on the poverty line. If Peter is injured, his uncle and aunt will definitely be very worried. At least one person will stay in the hospital to accompany him."

"If one of the two laborers stops working, the family income will be immediately cut in half, but the expenses will increase several times because Peter has to be treated for his injuries. As for me, ordinary injuries are not a problem for me. Even if I am disabled, I can make prosthetic limbs. "

"So Therefore, we can conclude that the possibility of the poor being harmed by mutants, and the severity of the harm they suffer, are much greater than those of the rich. "

"Because there are many more poor people than rich people." Strange knocked on the armrest and said, "How many people are like him in the world? Most people are just like my previous family situation, living a good life, but basically have no surplus..."

"Yes, the current situation is that in this country, a very small number of elites decide the fate of the vast majority of people, right?"

Stark and Strange looked at each other and nodded. Schiller continued, "This group of elites actually know that mutants are not that harmful to them. When they encounter mutants, they will be very happy. The probability of mutants breaking out is much smaller than that of ordinary people. Even if they are injured, they can afford the loss. "

"But have you noticed that this group of people's anti-mutant sentiment is much stronger than that of the general public."

Strange touched his chin and said, "According to my experience working in the hospital, it seems to be true. The hospital often treats some mutants who have suffered deformation injuries. Ordinary nurses or interns complain that the wounds are a bit scary, or that the situation is complicated and difficult to handle, which adds to their workload."

"But our vice president often curses, saying that these mutants should die and never appear in their hospital."

"Why do you think this is?" Schiller asked.

Strange frowned and thought for a while, then said, "In fact, the wounds of those mutants are not easy to treat, but in fact, the wounds of ordinary people are almost the same. If you have seen people who have suffered serious car accidents, you will know that the degree of human body injuries is not the most bizarre, only more bizarre. Nurses are used to this kind of thing."

"But the hospital I worked in before was a private hospital. The director has shares, and his income is linked to the hospital's income. Once a mutant's ability explodes and injures a large number of people, the hospital will be filled with the injured, and reporters will follow. They like to report these things."

"Due to the media and reporters, the director can't drive them out, but many of these people can't afford the sky-high medical expenses of private hospitals. More importantly, the large number of people will occupy the convalescent wards, resulting in patients who have previously booked high-end wards being unable to stay. Those who book such wards are all real rich people. With this increase and decrease, the financial statements for this quarter will definitely be ugly..."

"In other words, the anger and hatred of the general public towards mutants mostly comes from the threat to survival, such as being delayed from work and school by mutants, having their workload increased by mutants, or even losing their lives in accidents, but the hatred of most elites towards mutants mostly comes from the fact that mutants have caused them to lose benefits other than survival."

"Most of them are like this." Stark said, "I have heard some shareholders complain, but many of them have never seen mutants. They just want to prevent certain "Some mutants get out of control, so they have to spend more money to hire security, so they hate mutants."

"That's true." Schiller said with his hands on the armrest: "But not everyone deserves to lose profits. They have to work hard to run the industry, and it's normal for them to have emotions if they can't accept losses."

"But there is a more typical type of person who talks about ideology but still has business in his heart. They can get more benefits from anti-mutant behavior."

"Some politicians will use this advocacy to win votes for themselves, and some companies will choose to stand in line to please the majority of users. However, these people have more say than ordinary people and can decide the future direction of this country. "

"That is to say, many people are not against mutants because they sympathize with the general public, but because it is profitable, and the people who formulate this plan are the same."

"They don't stop mutants from joining the solar system development plan because they hate mutants, but because they want to stop them from joining the solar system development plan so that they can get more cake. "

Schiller glanced at Stark and Strange, and both nodded. They felt that what Schiller said made sense.

In fact, many people who are most against mutants have never even seen mutants.

Looking through the media reporting on anti-mutants, many media have errors in language and text, and even common sense. There is even a newspaper that wrote the mutant's X gene as Y gene, and a group of people echoed it below, saying that the Y gene should be eliminated.

"To sum up, since this group of people can oppose mutants for the sake of profit, then, as long as the profit is enough, they can also worship mutants as gods. They are black and white. The speed of changing their words depends only on how much money they get."

Stark narrowed his eyes and looked at Schiller and said, "You want to lure them with benefits? But now, the biggest benefit they can get from opposing mutants is to divert domestic conflicts. If you want to induce them to change their words, you must offer greater benefits."

Schiller shook his head and said, "This is indeed a method, but it is too laborious, and it's not like I haven't tried it before. I said I can help them solve domestic conflicts once and for all, and they said I was an extreme left lunatic."

"I don't plan to do this thankless job again. Let's try another method." Schiller smiled and said, "We can't increase the benefits they get from praising mutants, but we can increase the losses they suffer from rejecting mutants."
