Chapter 303: The Defender of the Kingdom of God on Earth
303
Mike Wallace: "I'm lucky I'm tall and I've been boxing for a few years, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to handle a scene like this, so let's get started, shall we?" It's a brutal wrestling scene. ”
After a few polite words between the two sides.
William Buckley, Jr.: "As part of the responsibility to ourselves and to future generations, we as the masses of the people must not be allowed to abandon our sense of responsibility to ourselves and to future generations."
William Barkley, Jr.: "It's completely reasonable and incumbent. ”
The corners of Edward's mouth twitched, and he muttered in his heart: "This TMD has begun, shouldn't you give this grandson two pills of clozapine to calm him down?" I'm willing to bet Larry Parry would have happily knelt down and kissed the soles of Barkley's shoes if he had been there. ”
William Buckley, Jr.: "Anyone who has seen Deep Throat cannot agree on the possibility of the divine power of the individual in such a depraved situation, and this loss is the loss of the whole people. ”
Pretty, Edward sighed, and sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame, Barkley cleverly wraps it in complex grammar, in addition to a naked and extremely politically incorrect sentence "Whether individual power is worthy of protection depends on the subject matter involved", and then a little more thoroughly, "Where is the personal power?!" Individual interests must give way to the collective. ”
Edward began to wipe his sweat, this Nima is a little wrong, I remember that I seem to have crossed over, right, look around there are also many yellow hair and green eyes, but why is the meaning of this so familiar to me? The kindergarten aunt has always talked about the obedience of the individual to the collective.
So, where exactly is my Tmd now?
Collectivism is a familiar fragrance...... It's really pretty good...... But this is still Nima America? Moscow is about ......
Mike Wallace saw Edward scratching his head, and thought he was scared, so he walked up to him and motioned for him to take a drink of water to suppress his mood.
Today's debate is well prepared, imported sparkling water is on the table, and yes, the Blue Star of the United States is the richest man, and it is only natural to buy the best products in the world for your own enjoyment with dollars.
However...... If you drink sparkling water, is it still Edward?
He nodded at Wallace in thanks for his concern, and took the huge lawyer's briefcase he brought with him, if this thing is propped up, it is estimated that it can be 0.3 cubic meters, not to mention loading legal documents, even pretending to be people, of course, you have to change the knife in advance......
He moves very lightly, trying not to affect the opponent who is talking, which is the minimum politeness and part of the audience's popularity.
In the next moment, Wallace's eyes widened and his mouth grew...... It's like a frog pinched by someone.
William Barkley Jr. was talking so vigorously that the corners of his mouth were quietly foaming......
The next second, there was a "bang", before that Mike Wallace wanted to stop, but loved someone faster......
Barkley was startled and suffocated......
Someone, frowning, pulled out a tissue and wiped his hands, and just now he deliberately leaned close to the microphone and unbuttoned the Budweiser can......
"You!" William Barkley Jr. was furious, but then realized he couldn't make an accusation.
Live debates will have quite strict requirements, such as being dressed appropriately......
In a serious political debate, both sides pay special attention to their own image, trying to conform to the aesthetics of the middle class and the upper class, in fact, the two are the same thing, because both aesthetics are formulated by the latter, the difference is that the upper class can formulate the aesthetic norms of the upper class and has the right to question the unreasonable terms in it, and the middle class, do it, if you question, it means that you are not middle-class enough, come here and take a good study of Playboy......
Wallace was sweating on his forehead, and he prayed, "God, this bastard must never take out another packet of potato chips after boiling a beer - this kind of rattling thing is a serious political debate today, not a picnic." ”
According to someone's idea, if you take out your mobile phone and click a few times, and then send a bunch of palm treasures, crispy bones, mutton skewers (to be worn by red willow branches), then it is called enough taste, American industrial lager is light and tasteless, but because of strong media publicity and strong channel management, this makes many people think that beer should be this taste, phew! It's a scam! But then again, industrial beer and kebabs are indeed a perfect match, and if you come to a three-ingredient monastery, it will be too strong.
"I'm sorry, I'm thirsty......" Edward took a sip of beer and explained to Wallace, then his eyes widened and his face was innocent, "There is no rule that you are not allowed to drink beer, I see that when rock stars hold concerts, they always use beer instead of mineral water......"
Seeing that Wallace didn't react, he held up the beer can at Barkley, as if the spirited Lady Liberty "Hey, let's toast to the United States of Freedom......"
William Barkley Jr. didn't say a word, obviously not giving Edward face, and wanted him to not get off the stage.
He obviously underestimated the thickness of his hand's dough, and Edward slapped his head and pulled out several cans from his bag: "Why don't you have some?" ”
The audience burst into laughter.
"Hey, I'll just say, beer is where men go! Do you want me to get some dancing chicks......
At this time, of course, it is Larry Flint "Larry's Hillbilly Paradise is a man's eternal home...... Beer and pretty chicks! Enough is always enough! ”
After saying this, the security guard in a black suit stepped forward again, and Larry's bodyguard did not show weakness, but finally calmed down.
William Barkley Jr. took a sip of mineral water and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Continued: "We are the great new Rome, the promised kingdom of God, and therefore everyone should maintain a minimum moral baseline, yes! Faith in God and the fear of morality are the fundamental reasons for the greatness of our country. ”
Ay...... Edward sighed, and said in his heart, if your tune was on the Internet before Lao Tzu crossed over, it would not take ten minutes to refute your kid's prostate enlargement......
It's a pity that this is the United States, the United States in 1970, which seems to be the most civilized and developed, but to put it mildly, the power of the remnants of feudalism is astonishing, and think about it just 40 years ago, their government was still arresting liquor dealers across the country......
This is really the most typical abuse of public power and the substitution of morality for law, which is no different from that of a fundamentalist state.
But!
Since it is American, it is certainly not possible to use the seemingly terrible word fundamentalism.
The conservative Puritans seem much more harmless to humans and animals.
Edward scratched his head, he was about to start fighting back.
At the heart of today's debate is the question of whether the government should have the power to inspect printed and video products.
William Barkley Jr. rightly thinks so, because from a conservative standpoint, the interests of the community can take precedence over personal interests.
In fact, Edward himself held this view, if the government completely abandoned censorship, it would be called a tragedy, and the key point was how to implement this kind of supervision.
William Barkley Jr. nagged for a long time, and its real meaning was that from a moral point of view, he believed that everything that was offensive should be controlled and banned, and of course there seemed to be nothing wrong with that.
The question is, who is going to determine "immoral"?
LSP magazine was popular in New York and the North, and Playboy took over the virgin territory of seminaries, both of which were forbidden to public sale in some parts of the South.
Southerners think yellow, northerners think not, this is originally just a difference in perception and morality between the two sides, but when it comes to the actual implementation level, you can see how Larry Parry abused the law to clean up the innocent Harry Rems, and how William Barkley Jr. rushed out to be held accountable!
As soon as William Buckley Jr. came up, he first erected an archway, and he himself entrenched on it, and began to build a greater idea, the kingdom of God on earth...... It is not surprising that cults are all propagandized in this way.
Edward's decision not to argue about the harmfulness of pornography simplifies the problem: "Of course, the proliferation of pornography can make people's emotions vulgar, it can also greatly degrade women's personality, and even make a subtle change in the quality of social life. I think it's really a big deal, because ideas work for us. ”
As an elite student of Yale, of course, there is nothing to say about the eloquence of the debate, and the complex discourse and exquisite use of words make the audience nod frequently, and they feel that this is a familiar debate.
Then he changed his words: "But books like "Fear of Flying", magazines like "Playboy", "Attic", "LSP", "Metropolis", I'm sorry, there should be many more, but at the moment I only know these ......"
"Films like Last Tango in Paris, and singers like Bob Dylan, artists like Andy Warhol"
"Yes, these are the M and L Ning of the X Revolution, and I don't think Mr. Barkley or any of you here today doubt this reality, do you?"
"So, when we ban cheap goods like the movie 'Deep Throat' or the magazine 'LSP', while at the same time allowing other more influential media to exist that are spreading the message of the X Revolution, this is essentially self-pity and self-deception, and it seems stupid, like a husband trying to prevent his wife from cheating...... Sorry, I shouldn't have given this kind of example...... Because, in Mr. Buckley's opinion, this thing may fall into the category of prohibitions."
"So in order to start an effective control of the chaos of men and women's behavior, and other 'sins,' we have to censor and control the radio, the television, the songs, the universities, the press, the bestsellers, even the Hollywood movies — in a word, all the mass media?"
"Actually, there are countries like this, and I wonder if Mr. William Buckley Jr. would be interested in immigrating there?"
"So Mr. Buckley, let's be more direct, is it beneficial to have only explicit depictions of objects that depict X behavior, or is it necessary to have a system of inspection controls where the government decides what the good things should and shouldn't look at the bad things that an adult with the ability to recognize?"
The audience chuckled, obviously it was talking about Sulian, there was nothing to hack or be a target, this is the highest value of Sulian in the minds of the people of the United States at the moment.
William Buckley, Jr.: "Frankly, your sense of humor has disappointed me, I didn't expect Yale to degenerate like this over the years, and when I graduated in '51 when I wrote "I'm at Yale: The Superstition of Academic Freedom," I bluntly said that there was a huge problem with Yale's education. And the problem of Yale is, in fact, the problem of the United States today! ”
"As we all know, Yale is a Christian school, and the initial professors are all devout Protestants, and there are a large number of members in the alumni association of the school board, but now its atheistic atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and there is even a suspicion of opposing Christianity, and the most ridiculous thing is that most of Yale's religion professors lack a firm belief in Christianity, and the religion department does not actually favor Christianity."
"Professor Goodnow of the Department of Religion openly declares himself to be 80 percent atheist and 20 percent agnostic in class, but ironically he has been awarded the 'Good Methodist,' and that such a professor of religion drives students away from religion, which is unacceptable to both Yale and the United States. Without a devout belief in God, each of us will not be able to face our hearts properly. ”
"In sociology departments, religion is even regarded as superstition or pernicious ignorance, and Raymond Kennedy, who teaches Introduction to Sociology, bluntly said that 'the clergy of the church today are copies of the witch doctors of old, and religion is something about ghosts, spirits, and emotions.'" I would admit that religion is subject to widespread prejudice in the sociology department, and religion has become the object of criticism when it is said that it is good and unpopular, and when it is said that it is bad! ”
"If this is in the Syrien, I understand, after all, that it is a nation founded by atheists, but don't forget that this is the United States, a country where no persecuted Puritans have gone through incredible perils on the Mayflower to reach the Promised Land, and a kingdom established in the spirit of Christianity, where religion is to us what the marrow of bone is to man. But today...... The severe rejection of Christianity was itself a sign of moral decline, and the weakening of people's faith in God further lowered morality, eventually leading to Sodom and Gomorrah in the Promised Land. ”
This is the first critique of contemporary America that I want to say today, and secondly, Yale and America Today have reached the worst degree of restriction on individualism in history. Individualism is the beginning of capitalism, collectivism is the source of communism, and the basic course of modern economics realizes its influence by disseminating collectivist values, which is a way to destroy the bourgeoisie, as conceived by Max: to achieve a smooth transition from individualism to collectivism through 'the gradual growth of state power through the continuous expansion of social public services, taxation, government knowledge'"
"Ahem, in order to avoid this from happening, let's not audit the mass media, after all, the process of moderation is a process for Leviathan to absorb nutrients." Edward smirked.
"Mr. Young, please don't interrupt Mr. Buckley," Mike Wallace hastened to stop.
