After the explosion, New Yorkers suddenly discovered that the news did not report this... It was not that someone was deliberately covering up these things. It was... that it was not New York's turn at all!
The news has recently been filled with reports on all kinds of messy incidents happening in various places.
Among them, Chicago is the most noisy.
The black and white war... has begun!
At the beginning, things started when riots suddenly broke out in Chicago. Many Chicagoans suddenly went crazy and started attacking people around them. The government also began to react quickly and dispatched the National Guard to suppress the riots.
Things are still controllable at this point.
After all, soon Chicago's representative heroes, the Chicago Trio, went out to find the source of the turmoil, a kind of demon called 'Dispute'. They are a very rare kind of demon. It is not strong in itself, but it can spread...
A non-lethal 'virus', the media named it 'Blood Cross' virus. Once this so-called 'virus' is infected, the most obvious characteristic is that cross-shaped sores will appear on the victim's face.
This thing is a bit like the zombie virus in movies and TV shows, but unlike the zombie virus, people's minds deteriorate after they become zombies, so modern military power can easily contain this thing. But the Blood Cross is different, it retains
The function of human intelligence is to destroy the acquired moral and quality education part of the human brain and amplify evil infinitely.
This thing was simply created to spread chaos and strife.
Not too many demons called strife have come to the world. This is the only thing to be thankful for. The Three Chicago Women quickly found them and killed them. Then the riots stopped on the third day.
But there was no confusion.
This depends on the number of casualties and casualty ratio in Chicago that day.
First of all, Chicago suffered heavy casualties... You cannot expect those thugs who have lost their sense and moral restraints to restrain themselves. The number of casualties is very large, but what is terrible is the proportion of casualties... Among the proportion of casualties, blacks account for the largest proportion, and they are overwhelmingly so.
!
Forget it, the key is the proportion of rich and poor... There are also police in Chicago. They were dispatched immediately, then retreated quickly, and then protected the rich area! Yes, they retreated directly to the rich area.
Inhabited areas, an isolation belt was established, directly isolating the center of Chicago.
Then people inside play battle royale.
The losses in wealthy areas are nothing compared to those in the city center...
This kind of thing is very common in the United States.
A typical example is the real-life Hawaii fire. A severe wildfire broke out in Hawaii, causing a large amount of property damage and casualties. However, when local residents sought help from the government, they were met with indifference and rejection. An American official actually said
Said: "Disaster relief is the task of a socialist country, and capitalist people should not rely on the government but should save themselves."
There is also a "dividing line" in the wildfires in Hawaii, USA. On the left are the ruins left after being swallowed up by the fire; on the right are the survivors separated by a highway.
The difference is that, apart from a road, what separates the two areas is the power of money and the difference in status! On the right is the wealthy area of foreign colonists! In fact, this area was once Hawaii in the 18th century
The capital of the Kingdom is the hometown of the Hawaiians! At the end of the 18th century, it was annexed by the United States and became its only archipelago state, and it has a pivotal strategic position! After that, Hawaii gradually
It has become a vacation destination for the world's rich. The rich have built a large number of luxury houses and have increased the housing prices (currently about 1 million US dollars). The indigenous people cannot afford the high housing prices and are forced to migrate in large numbers! After the disaster, some people
Local residents revealed that after their houses were burned down, they quickly received calls from investors and intermediaries requesting expropriation or purchase of land. Many indigenous people have already had to sell off their land!
In the same United States, how big is the gap between rich areas and slum areas?
Official U.S. data: There are 330 million people in the U.S., and about 40 million people live in poverty, accounting for 12%. In Los Angeles, where rich people are everywhere, there are more than 59,000 homeless people. How are these homeless people?
What about life? Living under bridges, on park benches, in street tents, and most commonly in cardboard boxes. More than 20% of homeless people have maintained this state for more than 10 years.
The reason why there are so many homeless people is related to the high housing prices in the United States. House prices in wealthy areas in the United States are generally more than 80 million US dollars, which is converted into about 500 million yuan. Even the rental price of an ordinary apartment is 1,200
USD/month in
, converted into about RMB 7,500, the rich can enjoy extremely luxurious villas, but the poor cannot even afford a place to sleep. Walking in the United States at night, you will see rows of homeless bunkers on the streets.
Let you lament the bustling daytime.
Houses in wealthy areas are usually located in the suburbs. They are basically single-family villas with a beautiful environment, birds singing and fragrant flowers, as if they are in a paradise. In ordinary areas close to the city center, due to relatively developed public transportation, the crowds are more chaotic, but the rent
The land tax is lower if you buy a house. However, the security problem here is not as good as in the suburbs. It is different in the wealthy areas. There are all kinds of supporting facilities and a large number of police patrols 24 hours a day, so the security problem is naturally not good.
It has to be said that it is very difficult to leave the house open at night.
Normal. People living in different areas also have obvious differences. In the United States, people from different areas rarely move across regions, and their activities are usually within their own circles. Rich areas are mainly white, followed by
Indians; while in the ordinary area, there are mostly black brothers, Lao Mo and people from other places that cannot be mentioned. Supermarkets in rich areas have a better store environment, but the prices are also higher; in ordinary areas, Wal-Mart is the main one, although it is economical
Affordable, but the shopping environment is naturally not as good as those high-end supermarkets in wealthy areas.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In general, the population in the United States is regionalized and hierarchical. When you drive to a strange city, you will see a beautiful scenery in front of you.
Green plants are planted, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. Each big villa is more beautiful than the other. Strangers on the street see each other.
You will smile at you, or take the initiative to say hello to you, and you will think wow, Americans are so friendly; but maybe when you turn a corner on the road ahead, the next area is full of various broken houses, and a group of pants wandering on the street.
The black guy who wears it under his buttocks comes over to grab your car window and asks you for a cigarette.
There is no way, in the wealthy areas of the United States, there are police patrols on every street corner. If you go in wearing a hood, put the hood on, and walk on the street without driving, if you are a person of color, you will be shot in minutes.
There are police coming to check your identity. Police funds in the United States are allocated by local governments. The main source of tax revenue for local governments comes from property taxes. Property taxes are paid in proportion to the price of the house. Houses in wealthy areas are expensive, taxes are high, and the police budget is large, so the police
Many, poor areas are the opposite.
In a slum area, if you are shot on the street, you may have to wait dozens of minutes for the police to arrive. After Detroit went bankrupt, if you were shot and fell to the ground in a slum area, the ambulance would usually pick up the body directly after half an hour.
Are there any vicious cases in wealthy areas? Yes, but very few. It is not the America you see in the news. The wealthy areas in the United States are relatively the safest places in the world. You have to know that the United States allows individuals to surrender to the police.
The bureau donates money. The police station will have a list. For real people with basic necessities, the service is not the same. I live in an upper-middle-level community and have been to the police station once. It has a dense network similar to the Skynet system.
The area covered by the camera... do you think it can have poor security?
This resulted in rich areas suffering very little loss, while poor areas suffered heavy losses.
Not to mention people, even property damage was serious!
You must know that the Blood Cross Virus is not a zombie virus. Zombie viruses are the most deadly. After all, zombies have no other desires except eating people. But the Blood Cross Virus is different. It amplifies everyone's desires, and robbing property is also a kind of desire.
Murder, arson, robbery, any crime you can think of has appeared in a saturated manner.
After waiting for the demon of 'dispute' to disappear, many people returned to normal and found that their homes had become barren in a physical sense... All valuable things were gone, and if it was too much, even the house was burned down!
This allowed countless people who were still alive to directly break their defenses.
Now countless poor people are pouring into the streets... class riots are about to happen.
Then the old American tradition reacted directly to stress.
Identity politics strikes again!
This is an old American craft, anti-dragon slaying!
To eliminate the resistance consciousness of ethnic minorities and people at the bottom, gradually transform class struggle into a struggle for identity recognition, and transfer the contradiction very cleverly!
After the end of World War II, the world entered a bipolar state. The Soviet Union's revolutionary theory was very simple. The Soviet Union quoted the communist theory created by Marx and Engels and divided the world into the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Students who have studied politics should all know the difference between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
The way to fight the proletariat is to see who controls the means of production. After decades of fighting with the Soviet Union, the United States certainly knows the power of the proletariat united, so as early as the beginning, it regarded the "Communist Party" as the biggest threat to the United States.
, and continues to this day.
In response to the theory of communism, the United States has also taken a series of countermeasures, such as emphasizing that the American free market economy is superior to the Soviet planned economy; it also creatively created a new group among the proletariat and bourgeoisie out of thin air.
, that is, the middle class, turning it into a buffer zone between the two.
In the United States, the Black Panther Party, which had learned about communism, set off a vigorous civil rights movement for ethnic minorities in the United States. When I wrote about the Black Panther Party before, I mentioned that in 1969, several black movements from the White Left Front and the Black Panther Party
Under the leadership of the leader, a national conference of the "United Anti-Fascist Front" was held across the United States; when Pastor King delivered a speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, there were blacks, Latinos and whites present.
It can be said that although those who participated in the civil rights movement at that time all had their own interests and demands, women demanded equality with men; ethnic minorities demanded equality with whites; homosexuals demanded equality with heterosexuals, etc...
But they all have a common identity, that is, they are oppressed groups.
Discrimination is the easiest way to cause conflicts within a group of people. It is also the easiest way to unite people and find commonalities in group characteristics. As a group that is also oppressed, they unite under the banner of the Black Panther Party and Pastor Kim to jointly resist oppression.
So, we saw that Pastor King was assassinated, and the Black Panther Party quickly fell under targeted suppression. After that, the United States enacted a series of civil rights bills, which ostensibly eliminated racial discrimination.
,
But as Luo Xiang said, "The law is the lowest moral requirement for people." On the surface, racial discrimination has been abolished, but secretly it still exists. The same job is labeled black, and whites can apply, but when blacks come for an interview, when they arrive,
In the final step, just say sorry, but one of your conditions does not meet our requirements. After the Black Panther Party was suppressed and Pastor Kim was assassinated, various groups in the United States still engage in resistance movements from time to time, but there is no longer a leader who can
Unite everyone.
If I want to unite you, I will find commonalities with you; if I want to divide you, I will find our differences.
From a single person to a group, everyone has their own label. You have a nationality, ancestry, gender, education...
So the elite politicians in the United States carried out a series of subtle operations based on "labels" to distinguish groups based on labels and introduced some policies. So there was "feminism" and the "environmental movement", which also created such
Refugee issues, immigration issues, racism issues, homosexual issues and many other issues. There are various methods. In essence, they formulate policies based on labels and put them into practice.
The proletariat at the bottom is divided into several small groups, and strengthens the identification of each group with their own identity, while creating differences, transforming class contradictions such as the polarization of rich and poor under capitalism and government failure into mutual contradictions between these small groups.
.Today, the gay community in the United States feels that their life is not good because they are oppressed by heterosexuals; the life of ethnic minorities is not good because they are oppressed by white people.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is America’s anti-dragon-slaying technique—identity politics!
Through identity politics, the lower class people in the United States can no longer participate in the movement as Americans, but participate in the movement with their own identities. For example, during this period, Asian Americans were attacked, and Asians took to the streets to demonstrate, and the flags they raised were also
It's just the "anti-discrimination movement against Asians." The core of the American human rights movement is to fight for one's own rights, and the core of identity politics is to gain identity recognition. Therefore, in the United States we see a lot of labels, such as African Americans and Asians.
Americans, LGBT, etc.
For another example, the Asian population in the United States only accounts for 6.5% of the total population of the United States, but now various states in the United States are introducing bills to subdivide Asians into Japanese Americans, Korean Americans, Chinese Americans, etc.
Even among the Chinese community, we have to distinguish between those who speak Mandarin and those who speak Cantonese...
The more detailed the labeling, the clearer the identity group will be!
Under the continuous propaganda of the U.S. government, each group regards itself as the worst group, and at the same time believes that the poor life of its own group is the cause of other groups. The people at the bottom are trapped in internal friction, and the bottom proletariat is consumed in this way.
own strength, but the actual beneficiaries are only the rulers.
Strictly speaking, are there real conflicts between whites and blacks at the bottom? Are there real conflicts between heterosexuals and homosexuals? Are there real conflicts between men and women? None. The root cause of their poor lives is the bourgeoisie.
Communism cuts society horizontally and divides social classes into the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. The American elite class divides society vertically into various identity groups, and each identity group also has its own elites. But these elites cleverly divide
They hide themselves in various identity groups and package themselves as the oppressed.
The people at the bottom of the United States cannot breathe under the oppression of the capitalist class. Freud's "I can't breathe" is not an exception. Black people are treated unfairly and take to the streets to beat, smash and rob, and start "zero dollar shopping"
, it is only the wealthy individuals and social elites who are resisting. These scenes are exactly what the United States wants to see most, because this is exactly what they claim to be "democracy and freedom." As long as these human rights movements in the United States only stay at
If they act within their own identity and do not launch an attack on the ruling class, their misfortune will never end.
The powerful elite in the United States have cleverly concealed the main contradictions in society through identity politics. This is also the "experience" that capitalist society has summarized over hundreds of years of history.
Originally, the main conflict in the Chicago riots this time was the conflict between the poor and the rich. However, after identity politics got mixed up, it became a problem between blacks and whites.
The poor themselves are so divided!
The white people at the bottom will not fight for the black people at the bottom, and other people of color at the bottom will not fight for the interests of black people, so only the black people at the bottom can truly fight against the ruling class...
