Chapter 532: What Schiller Does Best (I)

Left or right, is a question.

Before exploring this question, it is necessary to figure out what is left and what is right, and it may be said that communism is left and capitalism is right, and this is not entirely true.

When this concept was first developed, the left represented radicalism and the right represented conservatism, and later, Marx believed that the left represented the advanced system and the lower classes, while the right represented the old system and the elite class.

In Western social economics, the left represents democracy and the right represents freedom, and yes, democracy and freedom were actually opposite concepts in the beginning.

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

The so-called ultra-left, which is not entirely accurate but relatively simple and easy to understand, is that there is no bottom line to sacrifice individual freedom to serve public security, and everything should be under the control of an absolutely powerful state apparatus, and the individual does not retain any freedom.

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

I believe that many people will already be able to see that in fact, the superhero registration law is actually a left-leaning law.

As mentioned before, only the leftist will be concerned about the safety of the people at the bottom, the so-called public safety, and advocate sacrificing some individual freedoms to support the weak and achieve equality.

If it's right-leaning, then simply don't do it, the superheroes are stronger and the weaker are weak, it's their own problem.

But the problem is, this is the United States, the United States is a capitalist country, the right wing is rampant, and why this is happening, it is also related to the concept mentioned earlier, the capitalists must hope that the government will not meddle in the economy, the less the better, it is better not to give benefits to the bottom people at all, so that they don't have to pay taxes.

So, in such a country, why did you come up with a superhero law? 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, and everything depends on the size of their powers, and the priority of everything is not comparable to the power in their hands.

Therefore, the ideological struggle is like a gun, it is better to shoot when it is needed, and it is better to mute fire when it is not needed, as long as it can maximize power, it is not a question of left or right.

Therefore, as long as these superheroes can be controlled and serve their duties, ideology is not the most important.

Second, the right-wing pursuit of the law of the jungle is inappropriate in this matter, because all ordinary people are weak for superheroes, and the weak eat the strong, so isn't that just giving themselves to superheroes to eat?

When they are strong, they naturally want to advocate that the weak eat the strong, but when they are weak, they must come up with the law to limit and supervise the strong, which is why left and right are an eternal proposition, always in the swing.

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

But in fact, it is not so simple, the left and the right should not only look at the behavior and results, but also look at the motives, or in other words, in the ideological dispute, if you want to see the essence through the appearance, you must look at the first motive.

The fact that the Congress proposed this law is not in essence for the sake of the people at the bottom, and the previous congressman who presided over the meeting said that "public safety is the top priority of our mission", which can be heard in reverse.

In fact, public safety is the last thing they think about, the first thing they think about is the size of their powers, the second thing is the separation of powers, the third thing is personal interests, and in the end there may be the safety of ordinary people.

Or, in fact, they didn't think about the safety of ordinary people at all, because they knew very clearly that once the contradictions between superheroes were provoked, the resulting war might threaten public safety even more, but they didn't care at all.

Therefore, if you want to characterize the registration of superheroes, it can be said that the logic of the content of this law is left-leaning, but the motive and the final result must be right-leaning.

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

Iron Man chose to agree with the law, and Captain America chose not to agree, not essentially because Iron Man protects the common people and Captain America protects the superhero, but because the congressman creates a trap with this law.

That is, they showed Iron Man the left-leaning part of the law, and with Iron Man's wisdom, he can certainly understand that this law is actually left-leaning, and if it is actually implemented, it can protect ordinary people.

But what they showed Captain America was the ultra-left part of this law, that is, the excessive sacrifice of personal freedom to achieve power, and the result of losing both sides after it could not be effectively implemented.

Essentially, the two of them saw different parts of the equation and couldn't say who was at fault, and if they had to find a culprit in the civil war, it would be the one who came up with the law and used wordplay and information to divide the two.

From this logic, there are many ways to crack the superhero law that leads to civil war.

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

There is a high probability that this method may be able to ease the conflict and let them sit down and talk, but the final result is very likely to be that the registration law will still be implemented, but it will become softer, from the left to the left, and the ultimate goal of the law will also change from expanding the power to staying still.

On the surface, this is a win-win situation for several parties, but in fact, it is still the superhero who takes a step back, and with the 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 direction in reality, are contrasted.

Compared with the extreme right, which demands that the government practice oligarchy without interference, the right-wing wing that only asks the government not to pay too much attention to the economy is very left.

Similarly, compared to the radical far-left Schiller, who demanded that superheroes completely abandon the freedom of personal information and hand it over to the state, the entire legal system is very conservative and right-leaning.

The so-called solution to this problem is actually that when the left on the surface of this law is contrasted by the extreme left, and it appears very right, then the information that Iron Man and Captain America see is actually the same, and there is no so-called information difference between the content and the motivation.

At the same time, due to the contrast, the Iron Man, who was originally slightly left-leaning, and the conservative and right-leaning Captain America, under the contrast of the ultra-leftist Schiller, both of them were kicked into the rightists, and naturally stood in the same camp.

As long as you don't have my left, you're all right.

The question is, how could Iron Man and Captain America be further left than Schiller?

Schiller is no longer left, he is planning to carry the United States on the car, hit the steering wheel to the left, and then kick the accelerator......

Ask, it's about speeding up.

Hearing Schiller's outrageous plan, then Captain America definitely couldn't agree, he slapped the table, stood up and said:

"I disagree! Schiller, you're crazy! ”

"Captain America......" Schiller sighed, his tone returned to calm, no longer so fanatical, but more dangerous, he walked out of his table, came to the center of the field, looked into Steve's eyes and said:

"You have been involved in so many wars, do you feel sadness when you see your comrades wounded, bleeding, and dying on the front lines?"

Steve also stepped out, saying, "Of course I would, and it is precisely because I don't want my current comrades to repeat this tragedy that I don't want them to become tools of government manipulation." ”

"Then ask yourself, will they regret it?"

Steve pursed his lips and said, "No, of course they won't regret it, they are all real iron warriors, they shed blood without tears, how can they regret it?" ”

"Then why don't they regret it?"

Steve looked at Schiller in silence, and Schiller stared at him, and Steve saw a light in Schiller's eyes that he was somewhat familiar with.

"They don't regret it because they know that they are desperate and bloody on the front line to protect the ordinary people behind them, and they are sacrificing themselves for the hundreds of millions of lives behind them."

"Then, why are you, who have fought side by side with them, not willing to sacrifice yourself for the ordinary people behind you?"

"The registration law doesn't even make you bleed and die, it only asks you to pay for your information and accept supervision, and rightfully so."

"Your comrades-in-arms have given so much, including their most precious lives, just to keep ordinary people from falling into the ...... of war"

"And now, your rejection of this law is to put ordinary people in danger of superheroes suddenly erupting all the time, you have not set the times back, but you have made the spirit go backwards."

"Captain America, you miss that era, but that era doesn't necessarily miss you, because you don't deserve it."

Stark, who was sitting on the other side, saw that Steve had a pained expression on his face.

It's hard to argue in front of a psychiatrist who has treated you before, because he will always use your weaknesses as a sword, and at this moment, words are more powerful than fists.

"Say no more, Schiller!" Stark stepped out from behind the desk and said, "I'm not trying to question your faith, but the kind of method you're talking about is ridiculous and no one will be able to accept it." ”

Schiller also looked him in the eye and said, "It's like a scale, 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 didn't think so." Stark denied it, but he still couldn't say the words "can be considered" that had come to his lips before.

Schiller raised it too high, and if he followed Schiller's words now, the next step would be to liberate Washington.

What's more, if others don't know, doesn't he know yet? Schiller is already crazy enough to resurrect the Soviet Union, and now, Schiller's foot is on the accelerator, he will do everything to find every reason to step on it, Stark must not give Schiller this chance.

Therefore, although Stark agrees with the concept of this method, he can't say that he agrees now, and when he agrees, it is equivalent to filling the gas tank with oil, and the oil is filled, and Schiller kicks the accelerator, and the red ghost is really resurrected on the North American continent.

So, Stark and Schiller began a debate.

However, as we all know, the more extreme the speech, the more aggressive it is, and the more advantageous it is to occupy a favorable position in the debate, Schiller has firmly grasped the core idea of the ultra-left, everything serves the public, and everyone will be selfless, and become a part of the state, in order to achieve true equality and democracy.

Then, if Stark still holds that set of right-leaning theories, it is impossible to beat Schiller, so he must become more and more right-wing until he reaches the extreme right, and then he can play against Schiller.

So the question is, can Congress accept the ultra-left? Or is it acceptable to the far right?

In fact, they can't accept it.

The far left means that the red ghost is about to be revived, and the far right means that the power of the government is weakened to a minimum, and the economic oligarchy has the upper hand, which is not at all what they want.

It's like asking them to choose between-smelling and-smelling.

In fact, they just want to make a magic trick to make superheroes and S.H.I.E.L.D. friction with each other, so as to increase their power, why did it suddenly become a life-and-death ideological struggle?

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

Debates between smart people tend to have a very strong fanning nature, and the atmosphere has been paved to this point, and it must not end well without deciding the future direction of the United States today, at least as the superheroes of the bystanders think.

But the problem is that Congress is not engaged in an ideological struggle at all, and everyone knows that once this struggle begins, no one in this room, whether left or right, will not escape the horrific purge.

Finally, one of the presiding officers of the Congress could not bear it anymore, and he slapped the table vigorously and said, "Both sides are in place!" Be quiet! Listen to me! Stop!

”

What he had to say next was to let both sides think calmly, not to escalate the situation to an overly extreme level, and then to declare the meeting over after saying some usual clichΓ©s.

Another meeting another day to exclude this extreme Moon Knight, and then use other reasons to provoke Iron Man and Captain America.

But just as he was about to say this, Schiller pointed with his hand, and a silver light struck the councillor's body, and he suddenly found that he could no longer make a sound.

At this time, he heard Schiller say:

"In order to prove that I am not just talking, I am willing to set an example and be the first to reveal my true identity and concrete ability, which has shown my determination to maintain public safety."

As he spoke, the silver on his body slowly receded, and even the iron cover with his mouth disappeared, and after Schiller revealed his face, not many people recognized him, because he didn't often appear in front of the scene, and then, he began to introduce himself.

"I know that 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 see my papers in major journals, and I am not ashamed to say that my academic level is still good."

"At the same time, I also worked as a psychiatrist in S.H.I.E.L.D., this one, Iron Man, received my 230 hours of treatment, and this, Captain America, S.H.I.E.L.D. made 130 appointments for him, but he only came for less than half of the ......"

"The rest of you ......" Schiller pointed to the superheroes present, and said, "You should know that being a superhero is also very stressful, and they are all regular customers of mine." ”

By the time he said this, the faces of everyone below had changed, the psychiatrist in S.H.I.E.L.D. was a far-left, and every superhero present had been treated by him......

Is it healing or proselytizing?!

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

"And my ability ...... Maybe you know someone whose special abilities, in terms of type and strength, are very similar to him, and that isβ€”"

"Professor X."
