Chapter 2033 Alliance Section II
Chapter 2035 Alliance Festival (4)
After the electoral reform in 1832, universal suffrage was expanded, liberal capitalism was replaced by monopoly capitalism, the Conservative Party replaced the Tory Party, and merged with the Unionist Party to become the Conservative Unionist Party, and the founder of this party was Robert Peel Jr.
.
Georgiana wondered whether the chance encounter and quarrel in the St. Roman restaurant would be recorded in history. After all, people said that Robert Peel's speech was the best after William Pitt.
In fact, if you count the time, the formation of monopoly capitalism is closely related to the technological revolution. Monopoly capitalists focus on heavy industry, and they do not need cotton in North America that much. Instead, they use artificial fuels and fabrics, such as nylon and chemical fibers.
At that time, people had broken free from the shackles of the law - the "Bubble Act", and once again began disorderly expansion, resulting in overcapacity, and then formed a regular pattern of crises in the capitalist economy.
Employees don’t even have the power to ask their bosses not to allow them to work overtime. How can they ask their bosses not to invest money to continue expansion?
Even if there are reasonably good cotton textile factory owners in Liverpool like the Salter family, who give workers time for rest and entertainment, and some people become linguists, Salter will eventually be able to expand production capacity just like other factory owners.
One day he will also go bankrupt. This has no direct relationship with his character. A failed investment is more likely to lead to poverty than squandering. The Nantes shipowner banker Barron is an example. He thought that peace would lead to an increase in shipping volume.
He would have almost gone bankrupt if it weren't for the two million quintals of grain that Gabriel Houvral bought from Spain.
Faced with such ups and downs, many people could not bear it. When Newt Scamander left New York, it was the last glory before the Great Depression. Under the surface of lavish prosperity, there was a dark cloud of terror.
Do you choose happiness or truth?
If it's happiness, just get drunk, enjoy yourself in the moment, have a drunken carnival, and then suffer the pain of a hangover, even if the bootleg wine bought from the pharmacy is labeled as a medicine.
In fact, the Bordeaux wine produced during the Louis XIII period was indeed a medicine that could treat many diseases.
If you think of it as wine, it is wine; if you think of it as medicine, it is medicine; if you think of it as the blood of Jesus, it is blood.
In fact, religion that strips away the dross of history and exposes its philosophical core can alleviate mankind's eternal and boundless spiritual pain.
What matters is not whether there is God or Gautama Buddha, but how humans would get along without them.
You must face the beast that keeps roaring in your heart, where can you get moral legitimacy? Without the arrangements of God and fate, how can people face the self-deprecation and self-hatred caused by failure in life? Without retribution, how can people face it?
The truth of the world is that there is no reward for good, no reward for evil, and there is no heaven or hell.
In this cruel world, religion provides a relatively painless value system. Human beings are as fragile as babies, calling for an omniscient and omnipotent nanny to care for us and love us.
But after crying for a long time, no one cared about us, so we stopped crying.
We can no longer convince ourselves to believe in things that have been proven not to exist. We have smashed churches and dismissed nuns and priests. We are free as never before, and at the same time we are facing the threat of nihilism. During the French Revolution, we tried to establish "
The new religion "The Temple of Reason" came to fill the vacancy after the departure of the god, but this god also disappeared with the fall of the "Immortal" Robespierre.
I want to be a little girl my whole life so I don't have to think about these issues.
But carefree childhood is short-lived. When we choose freedom, we choose to leave Eden. We don’t have to abide by the rules in the Garden of Eden, and we can’t enjoy everything in the Garden of Eden. We only take away the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
The power that is given to us is also the punishment brought about by mankind's taste of the forbidden fruit that God forbids.
Georgiana turned up the collar of her coat to resist the dampness and cold, and then she felt a coat wrapped around her body.
"Put it on." Diloc said with a smile.
"I know you're cold too." Georgiana said calmly, "Your health is equally important."
Diloc ignored her, and Georgiana shook her head. These men would act heroic in front of women.
At this time, she touched her wand, so she quietly used a waterproof and windproof one on Dilock. Now he would not be cold even if he was wearing thin clothes.
What matters is not destruction, but reconstruction.
It was enough to destroy the old with brute force. The difficult thing was to build new buildings on the ruins of the previous dynasty. Napoleon tried to give this country and era a piece of granite as the cornerstone, and Aberdeen happened to be rich in granite.
It's already so cold on land, and it will only be more humid and colder at sea, but there are still people who persevere. This is also the naval spirit brought by Nelson - to fulfill one's duties, which is not as easy as it sounds.
"Do you believe in miracles?" Georgiana asked Diloch.
He didn't answer.
"Don't you think this scene is like a dream?" Georgiana asked again, "Or an illusion."
He still didn't answer.
So Georgiana stopped talking nonsense, she was afraid that she too was going crazy and what she saw was a hallucination.
Many people think that it was unwise for Hermione Granger to choose Ron Weasley instead of Victor Krum. How could Ron compare with Victor Krum?
Ron and Hermione have experienced a lot together, and of course Harry has also experienced it with her, but Harry is "destined to die". The witch's intuition allows Hermione to avoid experiencing that kind of life and death, and it is safer to choose Ron.
"Object.
Too much pain will make people lose the ability to think. Albus just wants to end it all quickly. If you can't figure out what a dying person thinks about, how can someone force others to kill themselves?
I don't know if he did it on purpose or if it was fate. The final location was the Astronomy Tower, which was high enough. Even if the Death Curse didn't kill Albus, the height and gravity would have been fatal enough.
"I believe more in reason and a clear mind." Diloch suddenly said, "Miracle is like an illusion."
"Have you been thinking about me just now?" Georgiana asked.
"Yes, based on reality, some people will play this kind of trick." Diloch said.
"Do you believe in medical miracles? Those are also man-made." Georgiana asked.
"Napoleon didn't trust doctors, what about you?" Diloch asked.
Georgiana did not answer immediately.
She wanted to say yes, but when she saw the backward medical techniques such as inducing vomiting and bloodletting, she had no confidence in the doctors.
When we have no one to rely on, we will turn to God. However, if God does not exist, who can we rely on?
Who can understand this intense feeling of loneliness among the crowd, and who can understand locking up a person who fully understands him?
Some people eventually return to religion and choose painless values.
Some people surrender to desire and choose another way of liberation.
"I am a small human being, and I choose what fate has arranged for me." Georgiana said.
"Napoleon is contrary to you. He chose to take his destiny into his own hands." Diloch said.
"I know, so he is a great man." Georgiana looked at Dilock and said with a smile, "Don't you think it's incredible that he fell in love with me? It's like someone's imagination out of thin air."
Diloc looked at her and didn't answer.
"Imagination rules the world," she said with a smile, taking a sip of the hot soup that was gradually cooling.
It tastes worse when it's cold than before it's cold, like some kind of magic potion. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any magic power, because it was brewed by a nun, not some middle-aged wizard with greasy hair.
