Chapter 659 Discrimination that cannot be eliminated
readx;
"But we can stop this discrimination. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Hermione reminded decisively, "We should not sit idly by and watch discrimination happen. ”
"Of course. "We're not going to ignore it, we're not going to do nothing." But how to do it, that's the biggest difference. ”
"Is it enough to just stop that? For example, to prohibit other people from expressing the severity of discrimination, to punish them with demerit points and confinement?"
He said with emotion, "Yes, next semester, I will be the headmaster of Hogwarts." I can tell everyone else that no one is allowed to mention the words half-blood, Muggle, but do you think their discrimination and prejudice will disappear from now on?"
Hermione shook her head, she thought of Malfoy, of the Slytherin students.
Even if they never say a word to the Gryffindor students again, their discrimination will be revealed in those silent actions.
"Yes!" said George in the affirmative, "covering up the problem, pretending it doesn't exist, will only lead to worse consequences." They will discriminate more insidiously, they will not say these things to their faces. ”
"But they will have more private hostility and communication, and they will still huddle together, mixing more hatred into discrimination with a feeling that they think they are rebelling against injustice. ”
He turned to Harry and asked, "When discrimination is inevitable, what can we do to change it?"
Both Harry and Ron shook their heads silently, if they knew, they would have taken action long ago.
Hermione replied quickly, "Stronger than them, so that they only dare to talk quietly behind their backs, hiding in the corner." ”
This was her way of dealing with the discrimination of others, and when she was stronger than the pure-blood wizards, their discrimination seemed so weak and contemptible.
George nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, when it comes to eliminating discrimination, it is impossible to do it in one step. Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to replace the old one with a new kind of discrimination. ”
He said slowly, "I once said that no one will discriminate against a grass, no one will discriminate against a tree, no one will discriminate against something that cannot be hit by eight poles. Behind the long-term discrimination, the organized discrimination must be because of interests. ”
Discrimination is based on profit, never really because of hatred. Discriminating against mixed races means that they can be at ease with insults and enslaved mixed races. Discriminating against Muggles meant that they could plunder and kill Muggles with impunity.
Discriminating against the poor means that they can oppress and plunder the poor in a fair and honest manner. Discriminating against landlords means that they can grab and divide up the land without any scruples. Discriminating against outsiders means that they have a competitive and psychological advantage.
Behind all the discrimination that stands on the two sides, there is naked division and interests, and there is no hatred for no reason.
A long-standing ideology, a stubborn disease that is difficult to cure, there must be a realistic logic behind these problems. When the reality does not change, these problems that grow and manifest themselves will certainly not change.
All discrimination ultimately lies in a conflict of interests. All hatred, all conflicts, originate from interests and end with interests.
Only interests can change and eliminate discrimination.
George said slowly, "When the real interests are not enough to change the soil of discrimination, there is no way to eradicate discrimination." At this point, what we need to be prepared to do is to confine discrimination to a scale that we control. ”
"The division of rank and strength of wizards is the new benefit I have prepared, and the new controllable discrimination I have prepared. ”
The idea of replacing the past with a new discrimination is very surprising. Harry and the others all looked at George in confusion, listening to his explanation.
George smiled softly and said slowly, "Compared to those discrimination against blood, discrimination against a person's birth. We call the difference in people's abilities competition, not discrimination. ”
He spread his hands and said mildly, "You see, the same prejudice and discrimination, when it is aimed at different issues, its destructive power is very different. What we need to do is to add such constraints. ”
"In the Muggle world, they don't discriminate against blood. But they discriminate against height, they discriminate against looks. They discriminate against geography, they discriminate against gender, they discriminate against jobs, they discriminate against academic qualifications, they discriminate against single dogs, and they discriminate against long-distance relationships. ”
"They discriminate against everything that can be discriminated against, they even discriminate against sweet tofu brains and salty tofu brains. ”
He explained this, "Different discrimination, some are easier to hide, and some conflicts are more peaceful. Discrimination is also different from discrimination, mild discrimination, although it is also discrimination, but it is much better than those extreme hatred. ”
He continued, "Not only that, but discrimination compared to height and appearance, discrimination compared to geography and education, and discrimination compared to everything else. In a Muggle society, there is something that can make up for the natural height and appearance, and make up for all the shortcomings. ”
"And in this way, the thing that can change all the discrimination is money." In the Muggle world, people measure everything in terms of money, in terms of ability and wealth. Let everyone love wealth, and let everyone worship wealth. ”
"You see," George, gestured, "the result, though not perfect, still discriminates against each other. But in the Muggle world, as long as a person has enough power and wealth, he can transcend all discrimination. ”
He said slowly, "As long as there is enough money, no one will care if a man is only 153 tall and looks like an alien." No one cares if he likes a man or a woman, no one cares if he is single all his life or if he has a group of wives and concubines. ”
"All of this can be defended by wealth and money. "People with great wealth can resist all discrimination, and even if they want to, they can discriminate against everyone in turn." ”
"Of course, if possible, everybody wants to look better and be taller. But when there are no such options, people have other options. This is a place where the Muggle world is more advanced than the wizarding world. ”
George calmly talked about the superiority of the Muggle world over the wizarding world.
