Chapter 1808 True White Left (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!! Please Recommend!)

The parliamentary system of the Kingdom of Atlantis is really very similar to the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty. The original intention of establishing the cabinet system was to strengthen the imperial power and the emperor's personal power! But as the prestige of the cabinet members grew, they naturally began to erode the authority that originally belonged to the emperor, and began to move towards the abolition of the power of the prime minister!

Like the original cabinet, the original parliament was nothing more than a transitional agency. They themselves were consultants, helping to handle national affairs when Aum was still young. The advantage of this is that it naturally prevents the country from falling into chaos, but the disadvantages also follow. Since the king was young and could not govern the country at all, those members who were originally used to assist the government began to accumulate a lot of prestige in the process of governing the country.

In the game of politics, prestige itself is a source of power.

Although Om is a bit naive and extreme, he is definitely not stupid. He noticed that the expansion of parliament's power had affected his power as king, so when he came of age, he decisively abolished parliament!

However, his mother was more naive than him, and she actually lifted up the parliament that Orm had finally suppressed.

After these political creatures regained power, the first thing they thought of was not to be grateful for Atlanna's generosity and tolerance. The first thing they thought of was how to avoid being deprived of their rights for the second time!

This is why they are so eager to challenge the king's power again!

These are political creatures, and their way of thinking is fundamentally different from ordinary people. Instead of being grateful, they will only remember how they were ousted from the top of their power. At the same time, I am extremely afraid that this kind of thing will happen again.

Of course, they don't think this is repaying kindness with enmity, but...how should I put it, it should be called protecting the achievements of Disai.

But the political environment in Atlantis is obviously different from human society.

After the emergence of the cabinet system in the Ming Dynasty, didn't every generation of emperors think about abolishing it? Or, why didn’t the British king abolish the parliamentary system? Do they really approve of this system?

Of course not.

All this stems from the inertia brought about by the system!

Excessive inertia is actually a kind of path dependence. When a thing becomes a common convention among individuals, or something that is recognized ideologically, then the higher the recognition, the greater the inertia in its behavioral awareness. This kind of inertia can still operate for a period of time even when the interest conditions that prompted its establishment no longer exist. Among them, there is not only the completeness of the pioneer's interest structure, but also the emphasis on various ideological and cultural levels. Therefore, to a certain extent, inertia is essentially a kind of dependence. Behind the dependence is the individual's high recognition of the interest structure. The length of dependence duration is mostly due to cultural ideas.

Therefore, the background of inertia must be interests. The reason why inertia can be formed must be that the thing can first gain support. Those who can gain support must represent the interests of groups within a certain range. As far as human society is concerned, the emergence of private property is a qualitative leap. Private property is individual interest. Later, group interests emerged, and therefore group theory emerged in both sociology and political economics. The so-called group refers to the interest structure as the basis for classification. Therefore, it can be roughly said that changes in the interest structure are an implicit but extremely powerful evolutionary clue to historical development.

From the perspective of economics, if you look back at history, you will find that the fundamental thing in classifying groups is based on economic levels. All other names and identities are just the appearance of this classification. The latter is said to use a more diversified description method to subdivide the group again. However, no matter how subdivided it is, it is still a subdivision of economic levels in the end. According to this logic, that is to say, as long as you can gain greater benefits by standing in a certain position on something with a distinct economic level segmentation, then this position will be more beneficial to people in the future. Will produce greater inertia.

When the cabinet and the British Parliament were formed, they were supported by an interest group that was not consistent with the interests of the imperial power!

In the Ming Dynasty, these interest groups were civil servant groups! The civil servant group actually represented the interests of the local gentry group and large landowners. They need someone to restrict the emperor so that he cannot do whatever he wants and disrupt the normal operation of the country. This in itself is also in the interest of the gentry group and the big landowners. After all, it is very easy for the emperor to collect taxes by messing around. Although everyone knows that the emperor's taxes cannot be collected from them, and they are transferred to the peasants and tenant farmers. The other thing is to prevent the emperor from hindering their land annexation. This is the most important thing. Taxation and so on are mostly excuses. For these local interest groups, as long as they do not prevent them from annexing land, they are all good emperors!

Just like Song Huizong, before he was captured by the Jin soldiers, he was always touted as the Ming Jun Holy Lord! Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have been so stupid as to do so many ridiculous things. You know, with Song Huizong's artistic attainments, there is absolutely no problem with his IQ. But why do you do so many stupid things? It’s not like he’s so praised that he can’t find the north.

In Britain, the interest groups that support Parliament are the great nobles and nobles, clergy, knights and citizens! Except for the king, everyone at first glance supports the parliament. In this case, no matter who comes to power, who dares to abolish the parliament? Aren't you afraid of being kicked out? It’s not like I’ve never done it before.

In Atlantis, this was not the case.

First of all, the Parliament is only supported by the nobles!

But in the Kingdom of Atlantis, the power of the nobles is not great. Even the power of the entire aristocracy is not very strong. This is related to the social environment of Atlantis as a whole. They are still open-minded, and the common people are not without opportunities to make a name for themselves. The class barriers are not that strong.

Moreover, there are no common people participating in the parliament. They have not gained any benefits from the parliament at all. Why should they support it? In contrast, the royal family has extraordinary prestige among the common people! They have been accustomed to following the royal family for tens of thousands of years. Without sufficient benefits, why should they change their ways?

And the power of the common people has a crushing advantage over the noble class!

After all, the common people in the Kingdom of Atlantis not only live well, but also have abundant martial virtues.

The nobles want to rebel, have they asked the common people?

Again, whether it is from religion, custom or law, the royal family has an absolute advantage!

In religion, the Atlantis royal family is recognized by the sea god Poseidon. They are the blood of the sea god! They are the spokespersons of the sea god in the mortal world. In a sense, the nobles and the royal family are competing with the sea god.

This religion is not the vague gods of Christianity, and the sea god Boston is a real god. The existence of the Atlanteans themselves is the biggest evidence. They originally lived on land, but the land fell and they all went into the sea, but they were able to survive well in the sea. If it wasn't the favor of the sea god, what else could it be?

And in terms of customs and laws, let alone.

Not to mention the Atlantis Empire, even the current seven-nation structure was jointly founded by the seven royal families back then. The laws were also written by them.

In legal terms, no one can disobey the king!

So Om was able to abolish the parliament without causing any consequences!

And what Meira did today is also legal and reasonable, and it will still not cause any consequences.

These members of the parliament were too anxious. They didn't get widespread support, so they wanted to attack the royal power, but they didn't understand it at all. They thought that they could counter the royal power by getting the support of the nobles...Until they were imprisoned, they didn't even understand why things turned out like this.

In this regard, they are indeed behind the land. It is not that a long history means strong politics.

The underwater world is too stable. It has been the same for thousands of years. There is no change at all. The society is developing, but their political struggle level is only the level of some court conspiracies. If they go to any university on land to study for a period of time, they will not be dealt with so neatly.

"Solved?" Kai came out.

Meila smiled brightly: "Of course!"

"Then why is Atlanna's face so bad?" Kai looked at Atlanna's iron face and asked curiously.

"You shouldn't do this. They have contributed to the kingdom! The stability of the kingdom over the years is inseparable from them!" Atlanna is indeed a good person... But as everyone knows, good people are better off not mixing in politics. Until now, Atlanna still thinks Meila's decision is too heartless.

Of course, Meila and Kai will not say this clearly.

"Unless you want to see Orm die without a burial place!" Meila said bluntly: "Aunt, you are too soft-hearted. What they did today was to force Orm to be linked to what happened during this period of time. Do you know what it means?"

Atlana looked a little better: "Then they should be given some dignity! This will hit the reputation of the royal family. They are all respected nobles and have been effective in governing the country over the years. If we treat them like this now, everyone will think that our royal family is repaying kindness with hatred."

Kai and Meila looked at each other and were a little speechless.

How did Atlana's father teach her back then? How could she worry about such a thing?

It can only be said that Atlana's father protected her too well.

Isn't it a basic operation of politicians to cross the river and burn the bridge and repay kindness with hatred?

Atlana must not have seen the practices of Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang. Compared with them, Meila's practices are simply fresh.

But considering Atlana's extremely strong white left attribute, the two still didn't say anything unpleasant.

"Aunt... you have to understand. Civilians don't care about anything other than their own interests. They don't care who the officials are. They only care about three things: gods, income and death!" Meila said helplessly.

"Indeed, before, I didn't even know what our mayor was called."

Kai told the truth.

Before crossing, he really didn't know what the mayor was called. Knowing the names of the senior political and legal officials was his limit. That was because he was a policeman, otherwise, he didn't even know these. If it weren't for the news broadcast, he wouldn't even know the names of the national leaders.

(The author is the same. Not only do I not know who the senior political and legal officials are, I don't even know the names of the mayors and senior officials. Who would care about that? They are not my relatives)

"But..." Atlanna was very frustrated. She felt that she was a bad woman. In order to protect her son, she actually watched unfair things happen... Well, she was not pretending, but really thought so. The key is that she really felt that Om was related to this series of things! So it's a pity!

Kai could only perform the function of a lover. He went up and hugged Atlanna: "My dear, you are right. You are just... not suitable for politics. Your world is too beautiful. It's not your fault. You just... have never seen darkness."

To be honest, Atlanna has a lot of experience, but she has no knowledge of human nature.

This is similar to many real white leftists.

White leftists can be divided into real white leftists and fake white leftists.

What is a fake white leftist? In fact, it is a group of mouth cannons. These people don’t really care about environmental protection, animals, or human rights. They don’t care at all. They shout loudly on the Internet and pretend to be noble, but in fact, if you ask them to donate the money for a cup of coffee, they will consider it carefully.

Such people are actually stirring up trouble and pretending to be cool on the Internet. Or simply pretending to be the same as the mainstream opinion in order to conform to the social atmosphere.

There are many such people on the Internet. What they think in their hearts is absolutely different from what they express.

Just like those interviews with white leftists, the reporter asked the white leftist, do you support refugees?

Support! Of course I support!

Then do you think refugees should have welfare, housing, and be accepted and cared for when they come to our country?

Of course! I strongly support!

Then are you willing to take refugees to live with you in your house?

What? NO! I have something else to do, I'm leaving first!

Why?

Because I really have a house!

It's fine to be generous to others, but once it comes to their own interests... these people run faster than anyone else!

Just look at the trend in reality about this.

But some people really think so, they are real white leftists!

They live a wealthy life, have never experienced any setbacks since childhood, and have received formal white left education. They do have superior moral values!

There are still examples in the news.

There was a rich girl whose mother was killed by a robber who broke into her house.

As a result, this woman forgave the murderer in court.

Everyone thought she was putting on a show, but she not only visited the murderer in prison, but also hired him to work at home after he was released on parole, and then she was killed by the murderer...

This rich girl is definitely not pretending, pretending is already the limit in court!

The following things can't happen!

But she still did it.

This kind of person... You can't say she's stupid, you can only say that her moral standards are indeed very high! Higher than the acceptance of the entire society... Those who are out of touch with the world are just like this kind of people!
