Chapter 22
Leon raised a finger, like a gentle and generous lecturer in an elementary school class, and said calmly: "Question: Why are mutants discriminated against?" Can anyone tell me the answer? β
The audience was silent for a long time, and the little naughty man standing in the corner of the crowd timidly replied: "Because we are weird? β
Leon smiled and shook his head, "It's close, but not entirely correct." β
The iceman raised his arm, frowned, and said, "Because we are strong." β
"Correct answer!" Leon clapped his palms and said with a smile: "The reason why mutants are discriminated against and even hostile is because you are inherently different from them.
This difference is profound and transcends differences in color, religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, political outlook, region, and culture.
But, on second thought, why can't you use this unusual difference as your own weapon, and in turn protect your own rights and interests? β
The mutants all frowned, they had long been accustomed to a life of discrimination, contempt, hostility, and hatred, accustomed to bathing in hateful eyes, and had never thought that they could reverse the direction of public opinion in the entire society.
Even Professor Charles, who has been preaching "understanding and peace", has spent more than half a century without achieving anything, except for leading people to fight with the Brotherhood every day, he has not improved the social treatment of the mutant community at all, and has just sat and waited for the society to persecute the mutants.
Leon looked at the mutant with a blank face and said gently: "Let me put it another way, as Bald Eagle residents, you should all know what Political Correctness is, right?" β
The so-called PC was originally a judicial concept in the 19th century, but over time, the PC home became an overwhelming language of public opinion or customs.
For example, in the United States, you can't call a black person a black person, you have to call them "African-American residents," you can't call a a faggo, you have to call a "gay man."
With the passage of time, the power of the PC has become more and more powerful, and the entire European and American society has been covered by the atmosphere of the PC from top to bottom.
You can't discriminate against LGBT, you can't discriminate against blacks, you can't discriminate against animal protection organizations, you can't discriminate against obese people, you can't discriminate against Mexicans, you can't discriminate against countrymen, you can't discriminate against women, you can't discriminate against low-income people...
These "forbidden matters" as unspoken rules and basic morality of society have expanded excessively, and have gradually evolved into the strange status quo of PCs in European and American countries
If a heinous criminal is black, any accusation of the fact that he has committed a crime will be considered discrimination against black people.
If a European or American company refuses to hire a pregnant woman, the company will be considered to discriminate against women, regardless of whether the pregnant woman has the ability to work.
If a senator from Europe and the United States is gay, then no matter how corrupt the senator's private life and how naΓ―ve his political ideas are, any accusation against him will be considered homophobic.
Not only that, but universities need to lower the cut-off scores for candidates of other colors to achieve "fairness", and black characters must be included in Hollywood movies to avoid being accused of discrimination.
Even in the stage version of Harry Potter, the role of Hermione needs to be performed by a black actress.
Original author: JΒ· Aunt K. Rowling also posted a post praising this "non-discrimination" and accusing the protesters of "racial discrimination."
In this atmosphere, no one is left alone.
Leon smiled: "Looking at it another way, the power of the PC is so powerful, and as a mutant race of social outliers, why can't they take the initiative to accept this backward and rotten force and include themselves in the protection scope of the PC?" β
Professor Charles frowned, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, after all, he was a disabled person, and he was a member of the PC camp, so he couldn't refute it.
"The power of the PC comes from public morality and aims to protect those 'vulnerables', and if we include mutants in the vulnerable groups that need to be protected, then the whole society will be on the side of mutants," said Leon. β
"We, what should we do?" Magneto frowned and asked, "Mutants are born with enviable abilities, they are a powerful group in their own right, and coupled with the demonization of those media that has lasted for decades, public opinion generally regards mutants as 'threats' and 'monsters'.
In this case, any act of favoring mutants will be opposed, and it will be too difficult to include it in the scope of protection of the PC. β
"As the old saying goes, there are more solutions than difficulties." Li Anglang laughed: "The power of PC seems to come from the grassroots, but as we all know, most of the middle and lower class people in the United States are piglets that are raised, and the real source of PC comes from the house in Washington."
If we can find out the real information about Washington's persecution of mutants, make it public, and completely discredit the image of the top level, we can set off an upsurge of sympathy for mutants in the United States from the bottom up, and thus transform mutants from a 'strong group' that needs to be hostile to a 'vulnerable group' that needs to be protected. β
After saying this, many people in the X-Men were already swaying and faintly believed in Li Ang's theory.
Professor Charles looked at these longing subordinates, and his heart was filled with infinite bitterness.
Leon's mouth cannon is by no means comparable to Magneto's uneducated wild way, theoretical support and hands-on practice easily moved the hearts of the X-Men, and subtly replaced Professor Charles's weak concept of "peace and equality".
"Is this possible?" Laser-eyed frowned and said: "The federal government has always been very close to underground experiments, and even if we do get some information about the persecution, it will be difficult to convince the media that act as a dog leg of capital to help us publicize it. β
"So you're still too young." Leon smiled: "The scope of transformation I have set for the Gate of Truth is for teenagers between the ages of 8 and 18, and in order to keep their children genetically superior, the capitalists on the wall street will lick their faces and kneel at my feet, begging me to give their children the opportunity to genetically modify."
In this way, the media, which is controlled by capital, defects. As long as we can overcome this last obstacle in Washington and find the real hammer of persecution of mutants, the whole of America will be on the side of mutants. β
Whether it's the X-Men or the Brotherhood mutants, they all held their breath for a while, they have always been brainless, fighting and killing for extremely naΓ―ve reasons, where have they ever drunk such ecstasy soup!
Professor Charles took a deep breath, and he finally realized that this ordinary Chinese young man in front of him might be a demon a thousand times more evil than Magneto.
No, it can't be said to be a demon. Only the Demon King can tell the demagogic words like the truth of the avenue, pointing straight to the heart.
Killing people is not enough, and Li Ang's frivolous words are the real murderous heart.
Completely moved, Laser took a step in front of his eyes, passed over Professor Charles, who was like a master and father, and said to Leon in a deep voice: "I know of a person who may have information about the federal government's persecution of mutants, and he is General William Stryker. β
