Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

After this real video footage.

Tianmu's steady voice sounded slowly.

[And just like that, the young man named Aaron Bushnell fell to the ground.]

【He wants to keep breathing.】

[But fire had already filled his nostrils.]

【He wants to continue shouting.】

【But the flame has already entered the mouth.】

[He felt the pain of being burned by fire.]

【But he still tried to stand. 】

【Stand a little longer. 】

【He wants to stand there a little longer. 】

【Even if it’s just for a few seconds.】

【Finally, he fell down.】

[The fire extinguisher was sprayed on him, but the fire he wanted to extinguish was not on his own body. ]

Aaron Bushnell wrote in his will:

"I'm sorry to say goodbye to my brothers and friends in this way."

[“Of course, if I really felt guilty... I wouldn’t do such a thing at all.”]

"But the war machine is thirsty for blood. This is simply not fair."

“I want my body to be cremated.”

"I don't want my ashes to be scattered on the ground."

[“I don’t want my body to be buried either.”]

[“Because there is no place in this world that can hold my body.”]

[“I hope my ashes will be scattered in that free land one day.”]

……

Outside the sky.

The ancient people's mood also became increasingly heavy.

After reading the suicide note, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again and said:
"The more I look at it, the more uncomfortable I feel."

"It seems that Aaron in later generations just couldn't stand the America he was living in."

"No wonder he said he would protest in an extreme way."

“Perhaps, in Aaron’s view, this country must resort to extreme protests to cause harm.”

Zhu Biao also said: "Doesn't the sky curtain say that Aaron is a member of the US Air Force?"

"The fighter planes of later generations are so powerful, why doesn't he take advantage of this?"

"And there are guns everywhere in the United States. Aaron took up a gun to fight against tyranny, even if he could not overthrow the United States by himself."

"But at least it can cause some damage to the evil regime in his mind, right?"

"Anyway, it's better than sacrificing your life in vain."

“Why did Aaron self-select?”

"Why commit self-burning?"

For a moment, Zhu Biao didn't understand at all.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was reminded by his son, and then he suddenly had some ideas in his mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to look at the sky seriously.

Then, Tianmu asked another question:
[Why did Aaron Bushnell protest in such an extreme way as self-immolation? ]

[As an active-duty U.S. military member, does this count as betraying his country? ”]

【The person who asked this question obviously didn't understand one thing. 】

[The meaning of burning at the stake is different in China and in the United States, which is due to different cultural soils. 】

【Let’s first look at Aaron’s background. 】

[His family identity has special symbolic significance in the North American cultural context.]

[He is a decent white boy of good family, of English descent, a devout believer, and the son of a military family for three generations.]

[And, they are most likely descendants of the Mayflower immigrants.]

[The most authentic old Stars and Stripes. ]

[If Aaron is not an American, then I guess Biden is not an American either.]

【The “City on the Hill” narrative constructed by the “Mayflower Compact” portrays the descendants of the Puritans as God’s chosen people. 】

[This sense of superiority is constantly reinforced by his family’s military tradition.]

[From the War of Independence to the Gulf War, his family history is almost a miniature version of the history of American expansion.]

[This kind of legitimate identity construction gives their protest the natural legitimacy of "moral guardians cleaning up the house."]

【The key point is that the United States is a religious country. 】

【The president has to take the oath of office with a Bible.】

[The Puritan spirit has long been internalized into the subconscious of American politics.]

【When Bushnell criticized the system by self-immolating.】

[Essentially, it is to judge the "deviationists" in the posture of "legitimate successors." 】

【Who is the real traitor? 】

[Betrayed the Puritan-founded America? ]

[It goes without saying.]

[This logic is similar to the medieval knights' crusade against the corrupt church.]

[It is not to deny the faith itself, but to accuse the secular regime of betraying the fundamentals of faith. ]

【Let’s look at the teachings of Christianity again. 】

【We firmly do not allow believers to commit suicide.】

[First, the book of Galatians in the Bible clearly prohibits suicide, regarding it as a desecration of the "temple of God (body)", and those who commit suicide will go to hell forever.]

【But Bushnell took the initiative to choose "hellfire" as his destination.】【This behavior of "going against the doctrine" actually turned the spearhead of religious trials toward the system.】

【He took the attitude of "voluntarily taking on all sins." 】

[It implies that the US government is the messenger of Satan that caused the believers to fall.]

[This logic of "cleansing sins with the fire of hell" shows that it is not the individuals who are guilty, but the system that forces the individuals to commit crimes.]

【When believers must "self-destruct" to prove the purity of their faith. 】

[The criticism has been directed at the legitimacy of the American system.]

【Theologian Tillich once said: "When the church becomes an idol, breaking the idol becomes a sacred mission." Bushnell's behavior is a bloody practice of this. 】

【In Aaron Bushnell's faith, he is a sinner living in a sinful country. 】

【Aaron thought he was no longer worthy to be a believer in God.】

【Therefore, he chose to commit suicide. 】

【And it’s a way to burn yourself to death. 】

[As if he were judging a demon, he used the most horrific torture on himself.]

[Online opinion, many people compared Bushnell to a traditional patriot who "sacrificed his life for justice." ]

【In fact, it falls into the trap of cultural misplacement. 】

[In the Christian context, the ultimate goal of martyrdom is reconciliation with God.]

[When Bushnell's body became the "fire of judgment", his spiritual trajectory was the same as that of the Ghost Rider in the movie.]

[They are all using the "fire of hell" to sentence the system's sins. ]

【This is a localized interpretation of religious symbols. 】

[Just like the extreme protests in Eastern culture, such as writing in blood to express one’s will and carrying a coffin to make suggestions.]

[They are both the ultimate expression of using the body as a weapon in a particular civilization.]

【Aaron Bushnell wants to judge the US government! 】

【The current America will be judged with fire.】

【Redemption of one's sins.】

This is not just any protest.

【It has risen to the level of religious jihad. 】

[Use a method similar to the Christian "holy war" to deal with a country where the president was sworn in with a Bible. 】

【To deal with countries that use the Bible as their title deed. 】

[Equivalent to a sacred attribute attack! ]

[Don't underestimate this attack. It only burned Aaron to death.]

[The actual effect was even more shocking than Aaron driving a tank into the embassy.]

[You rely on the Bible to establish your nation, so I will use the judgment of hellfire to strike you in the name of God.]

【What can you use to resist? 】

【And, in fact, this is also helpless. 】

【The last choice. 】

If Aaron protests, no one will care.

【If Aaron resigns, there will be no voice at all. 】

[If Aaron massacres the Pentagon, he will be stigmatized as a madman and a traitor. ]

【But now is the time for Aaron to judge himself and America with the fire of hell. 】

【He will always stand on the moral high ground. 】

[It's helpless, but I live in a country that will drive Aaron to death. 】

【Living in a country where “the righteous have many supporters, while the unrighteous have few”, “bringing one’s animal friends with you”, and “going against the international community”. 】

【Perhaps this is all we can do. 】

……

The video gradually ended and comments started flying out.

《Good fellow, a divine magic attack that hits my lungs straight in the face!》

"Ah, old orthodox Star-Spangled Banner, why has it come to this?"

"Old Dengtou is of Irish descent, and indeed came later than the English-born Aaron family."

"Aaron is an active-duty air force officer. He must have seen with his own eyes how American weapons massacred civilians, so he cannot accept it on conscience."

"I guess even if the Trisolarans came, Aaron would take up arms and fight to the end."

"What's even funnier is that Aaron is almost the most American person ever."

"And then the most genuine and true American in America died."

"It's a pity for the warriors. The decline of a country begins when the hard bones die and only the soft bones are left."

"As a firefighter, I can say that burning at the stake is the most painful way to die."

"How desperate and angry he was that he chose such a tragic death."

"Aaron probably realized that no matter what method he used to resist, he would be discredited, so he adopted the most extreme method."

"It's been a year since Aaron died, and the domestic traitors can only use clichés like "fire-resistant king" and "ice tea" to smear him, which shows the value of his attack this time."

...

Outside the sky.

Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang watched the entire video.

Finally I understood it.

Then he couldn't help but sigh again.

"I didn't expect that he would use such an extreme method because the enemy he faced was unprecedented."

"The enemy Aaron faced was not even the most powerful country in the world in the future."

"It's because he knows the smear campaign he will face afterwards."

"Perhaps a mental blow is necessary."

"But I think," Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said fiercely, "Facing an enemy that needs a mental blow, a direct physical blow is more effective!" (End of this chapter)
