The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 535 What Schiller is best at

Left or right, that is the question.

Before discussing this issue, it is necessary to clarify what is left and what is right. Some people may think that communism is left and capitalism is right, but this is not entirely correct.

When this concept was first developed, the left represented the radical, while the right represented the conservative. Later, Marx believed that the left represented the advanced system and the lower classes, while the right represented the conservative system and the powerful class.

In Western social economics, the left represents democracy, and the right represents freedom. Yes, democracy and freedom are actually opposite concepts at the beginning.

There is no need to talk about the specific details, but one thing must be mentioned, that is, the extreme left and the extreme right.

The so-called ultra-left can be summed up with an incompletely accurate but relatively simple and easy-to-understand concept. There is no bottom line to sacrifice personal freedom in the service of public safety. Everything should be under the control of an absolutely powerful state machine, and individuals do not retain any freedom. .

The extreme right, on the other hand, is to let go of all restrictions, cancel the welfare of the weak, and the strong will prey on the weak. The state should not exert any control, implement an oligarchic dictatorship, and pursue all freedoms.

I believe that many people can already see it after seeing this. In fact, the Superhero Registration Act is actually a left-leaning bill.

As mentioned before, only leftists care about the safety of the people at the bottom, which is the so-called public safety, and advocate sacrificing some personal freedom, supporting the weak, and achieving equality.

If it’s right-leaning, then don’t make this bill at all. The strong superheroes are stronger, and the weak are weak. This is their own problem.

But the problem is that this is the United States, and the United States is a capitalist country where the right wing is rampant, and why this is also related to the concept mentioned before. The capitalists definitely hope that the government will not interfere with the economy. It's better not to give benefits to the bottom people at all, so that they don't have to pay taxes.

So, in a country like this, why would there be a superhero bill?There are two reasons for this.

First, in essence, there is a difference between politicians and capitalists. Politicians are not on the gold standard, but on the power standard. Everything they do depends on the size of their authority, and the priority of anything can't compare with the power in their hands.

Therefore, ideological struggle is like a gun. When it needs to be fired, it should be fired.

Therefore, as long as these superheroes can be controlled and served in their power, ideology is not the most important thing.

Second, the law of the jungle that the right wing pursues is inappropriate in this matter, because all ordinary people are weak to superheroes, and the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. Isn’t that just giving yourself to superheroes to eat?
When they are strong, they naturally advocate the law of the jungle, but when they are weak, they have to propose bills to restrict and supervise the strong, which is why left and right are an eternal proposition, always in swing.

Some people may say that since the left leans more towards communism and is more considered by the people at the bottom, then in this matter, Congress has played the role of a liberator and is a good person.

But it’s not that simple. The left and the right should not only look at behavior and results, but also motivation. In other words, in ideological disputes, if you want to see the essence through the appearance, you must look at the first motivation.

The fact that Congress proposed this bill was not essentially for the consideration of the people at the bottom. The previous congressman who presided over the meeting said that "public safety is the top priority of our task", and this sentence can be completely reversed.

In fact, public safety is the last thing they consider. The first thing they consider is the size of their powers, the second is the separation of powers, and the third is personal interests. common people's safety.

Or, in fact, they have never considered the safety of ordinary people at all, because they are very clear that once the conflict between superheroes is provoked, the resulting war may even threaten public safety, but they don't care at all .

Therefore, if we want to characterize the superhero registration bill, we can say that the logic of this bill is left-leaning, but the motivation and final result must be right-leaning.

After analyzing this point, let's look at everyone's choices in the original comics.

Iron Man chose to agree to the bill, while Captain America chose not to agree. This is essentially not because Iron Man protects ordinary people, while Captain America protects superheroes, but because the congressman created a trap with this bill.

That is, they showed Iron Man the left-leaning part of the bill. With the wisdom of Iron Man, he can certainly understand that this bill is actually left-leaning. If it is implemented, it can protect ordinary people.

But what they showed Captain America was the extreme left part of the bill, that is, the excessive sacrifice of personal freedom to achieve power, including the failure to implement it, and the result of losing both sides.

Essentially, the two of them saw different parts of the plan, and they couldn't say who was at fault. If one had to find a culprit for the civil war, it would be the one who came up with this bill and used word games and information differences to divide the two. that person.

From this logic, there are many ways to decipher the fact that the Superhero Act led to the Civil War.

For example, acting as a bridge in the middle, so that the information gap between the two no longer exists, that is, so that the two of them can understand each other what the other is pursuing and what they are worried about.

There is a high probability that this method can ease the conflict and allow them to sit down and talk, but the final result is very likely that the registration bill will still be implemented, but it will become softer, from the left to the left. The ultimate purpose of the bill will also change from expanding powers to stabilizing.

On the surface, this is a win-win for several parties, but in fact, the superhero is still a step back, and if there is a first step, there will be a second and third step,

But in fact, there is a more labor-saving way.

Left and right, just like the directions in reality, are contrasted.

Compared with the extreme right, which demands that the government not interfere at all and practice oligarchy, the right, which only demands that the government not pay too much attention to the economy, is very left.

Similarly, compared with the radical extreme left Schiller who requires superheroes to completely give up their freedom of personal information and hand them over to the state forcibly controlled, the entire bill appears very conservative and right-leaning.

The so-called solution to this problem is actually, when the superficial left of this bill is compared with the extreme left, and it appears to be very right, then the information seen by Iron Man and Captain America is actually the same, and there is no such thing as a so-called one view. For content, one looks at motivational information poorly.

At the same time, because of the comparison, Iron Man, who was originally slightly left-leaning, and Captain America, who was more conservative and right-leaning, were both kicked into the rightists by the contrast of the extreme left Schiller, and they naturally stood in the same camp.

As long as you are not left to me, you are all right.

The question is, how could Iron Man and Captain America be more left than Schiller?
Schiller is no longer on the left, he is planning to carry America on the car, turn the steering wheel to the left to kill, and then kick the accelerator...

Ask, is to speed up.

Hearing Schiller's outrageous plan, Captain America would definitely not agree. He slapped the table, stood up and said:

"I disagree! Schiller, you are crazy!"

"Captain America..." Schiller sighed, his tone regained his composure, he no longer had that fanaticism, but he was even more dangerous. He walked out of his desk, came to the center of the field, and looked into Steve's eyes Say:
"You have been involved in so many wars, do you feel sad when you are on the front line and see your comrades injured, bleeding, and dying?"

Steve also came out and said: "Of course I will, and because I don't want my current comrades-in-arms to repeat this tragedy, I don't want them to become a tool for government manipulation."

"Then ask yourself, do they regret it?"

Steve pursed his lips and said, "No, of course they won't regret it, they are all real steel warriors, who shed blood but not tears, how could they regret it?"

"Then why don't they regret it?"

Steve looked at Schiller silently, and Schiller stared at him. Steve saw a somewhat familiar light in Schiller's eyes.

"They don't regret it because they know that they worked hard and shed blood on the front line to protect the ordinary people behind them, and they sacrificed themselves for the hundreds of millions of lives behind them."

"Then why are you, who fought side by side with them, unwilling to sacrifice yourself for the ordinary people behind you?"

"The Registration Act doesn't even ask you to bleed and die, it just asks you to pay for your information and be regulated, which is what it should be."

"Your comrades have sacrificed so much, including their most precious lives, just to prevent ordinary people from being caught in the flames of war..."

"And now, your rejection of this bill means that ordinary people are always in danger of a sudden explosion of superheroes. You have not turned back the times, but you have turned back the spirit."

"Captain America, you miss that era, but that era may not miss you, because you are not worthy."

Stark, who was sitting on the other side, saw a pained expression on Steve's face.

It's hard to start an argument in front of a therapist who has treated you because he will always use your past weaknesses as a sword. At this moment, words are stronger than fists.

"Stop it, Schiller!" Stark said, stepping out from behind the desk, "I don't mean to question your beliefs, but the method you're talking about is too absurd for anyone to accept. "

Schiller also looked into his eyes and said, "This is like a balance, with your personal information on one side and public safety on the other. Do you think your personal information is more important than the lives of ordinary people?"

"I don't think so." Stark denied, but he still couldn't say the words "can be considered" that had come to his lips before.

Shiller set the tone too high, and if he follows Shiller's words now, the next step is to liberate Washington.

What's more, if others don't know, doesn't he know?Schiller is crazy enough to want to revive the Soviet Union. Now, Schiller's foot is on the accelerator, and he will try his best to find all reasons to step on it. Stark must not give Schiller this chance.

Therefore, although Stark agrees with the concept of this bill, he cannot express his approval now. He said that he agrees, which is equivalent to filling the fuel tank with fuel. But it really revived in North America.

So Stark and Schiller began a debate.

But as we all know, the more extreme the speech, the stronger the attack, and the more favorable position it can occupy in the debate. Schiller firmly grasped the core idea of ​​the extreme left, everything serves the public, and everyone will be selfless, becoming a Parts of the country can only achieve true equality and democracy.

Well, if Stark is still holding on to that set of right-leaning theories, it is impossible to beat Schiller at all. Therefore, he must go further and further to the right, until he reaches the extreme right, and it is possible to confront Schiller.

So the question is, can Congress accept the extreme left?Or can the extreme right be accepted?
In fact, they can't accept it.

The extreme left means that the red ghost is about to revive, and the extreme right means that the power of the government has been weakened to the minimum, and the economic oligarchs have the upper hand. This is not what they want at all.

Like giving them a choice between shit or shit.

In fact, they just want to make a bill to let the superheroes and S.H.I.E.L.D. fight each other, so as to enhance their power. How come it suddenly becomes a life-and-death ideological struggle?

But now, the ceiling has been lifted by Schiller, and the superheroes present have been involved in the increasingly heated debate between him and Stark.

Debates among smart people are often very provocative, and the atmosphere has already been paved. If the future direction of the United States is not determined today, it will never end well. At least the superheroes who are on the sidelines think so.

But the problem is that Congress does not want to engage in ideological struggle at all. Everyone knows that once this kind of struggle starts, everyone present, no matter whether they are on the left or on the right, will not be able to escape the terrorist cleansing.

Finally, the host of the Congress couldn't stand it anymore. He patted the table vigorously and said, "Both sides return to their seats! Be quiet! Listen to me! Stop!!"

The next thing he wants to say is to let both parties think calmly, not to escalate the situation to an extreme level, and then say some routines that are usually used to fight, and then announce the end of the meeting.

Hold another meeting another day to exclude this extremist Moonlight Knight, and then use other reasons to provoke Iron Man and Captain America.

But just when he was about to say that, Schiller pointed with his finger, and a silver light hit the congressman, and he suddenly found that he couldn't make a sound.

Then he heard Schiller say:
"In order to prove that I am not empty talk, I am willing to set an example and take the lead in announcing my true identity and specific capabilities, which has shown my determination to maintain public safety."

As he said that, the silver on his body receded slowly, and even the iron mask on his mouth disappeared. After Schiller revealed his face, not many people recognized him, because he didn't often appear in front of the screen. Next, he I started introducing myself.

"I know, not many people know me, but I have to introduce myself. My name is Schiller Rodriguez. I am a psychologist and a psychiatrist. You can read it in major journals When it comes to my dissertation, I would say without humility that my academic level is pretty good."

"At the same time, I was also working as a psychiatrist at SHIELD. This, Iron Man, received 230 hours of treatment from me. This, Captain America, SHIELD booked 130 treatments for him, but he only came It's less than half..."

"The rest..." Schiller pointed at the superheroes present, and he said, "You should know that being a superhero is also very stressful. They are all regular visitors to my place."

Speaking of this, everyone's complexion has changed. The psychiatrist of S.H.I.E.L.D. is an extreme leftist, and every superhero present has received his treatment...

Healing or preaching? !

But then, Schiller's words made them really feel terrified.

"And my ability... Maybe you know someone, my special ability, from type to strength, is very similar to him, that is—"

"Professor X."
