Chapter 861: Brilliant Stars (6)

"This time, he's not alone."

In the office of Arkham Sanatorium, Schiller smiled and said, "There must be many mysterious organizations who will reveal information about this plan to him and give him some trivial suggestions."

"What makes me a little strange is, what's in it for you? Don't tell me that you're so kind that you want to help mutants?" Strange took a sip of water and said, "I don't have any special feelings for mutants, although I don't have hatred, but I don't have any good feelings, because when I was in middle school, I once missed an exam because of a mutant classmate's sudden explosion of ability, and they were quite troublesome."

"I think it's just a stopgap measure, whether it's using Asgard to clear the Red Gate Orchid equipment, or taking the production of molten steel to make Wakanda, or Nick's equipment support." Stark sighed and said, "The confrontation between ordinary people and mutants will never end, even if ordinary people want to end, if someone doesn't want this thing to end, it will never end."

"Human beings are like this, they must choose the weakest bully among their own kind, the rich must bully the poorest one of their kind, and the poor must bully the poorer one, even beggars must bully those who are weaker than themselves, this is the inferior nature of human beings." Stark shook his head and said.

"Indeed, without the Red Gate Orchid Project, they will still have Project B and Plan C, and as long as the mutants do not become extinct, the confrontation between the two parties will not stop......

Schiller leaned back in his chair, looked at Stark and said, "Why do you think ordinary people are so repulsive to mutants?"

"Because of their uncontrollable nature, of course."

"On the surface, yes, but it's much more than that."

Schiller nodded and said, "That's right, the sudden burst of mutant abilities can bring damage, but if you think about it, who is hurt?"

"Who is it?" Strange looked at Schiller with some curiosity, he felt that Schiller must have some "high insight", and he was very interested in it.

Schiller gave a mocking smile and said, "If one day, a mutant explodes on the subway, who do you think he is more likely to hurt? Is it a politician who comes in and out of luxury cars every day with a line of bodyguards, or an office worker who rushes to catch the subway every day to get to work?"

"The latter, of course." Strange replied without thinking, pausing, and then said, "Those big guys aren't going to crowd the subway."

After speaking, he glanced at Stark vigorously, Stark pursed his lips unnaturally, and said, "I'm not used to physical contact with others, and the signal in the subway is not good, which will delay my work......

"As another example, a mutant suddenly erupted and hurt two people at the same time, one of them was Peter, who had not yet mutated as a spider in his youth, and Tony, who was also young but had inherited a large inheritance, both of them were injured as badly, who did it affect the most?"

"Peter, for sure." Tony hugged his arm and said, "The financial situation of his family, saying that ordinary families are a little reluctant, basically still hovering on the food and clothing line, if Peter is injured, his uncle and aunt must be very worried, at least leave someone in the hospital to accompany him."

"One of the two laborers stopped working, and the family income was cut in half at once, but the expenses were several times higher, because I had to treat Peter's injuries, and as for me, ordinary injuries were not a problem for me, even if I was disabled, I could make prosthetic limbs."

"So, to sum it up, the poor are much more likely to be harmed by mutants, and the severity of the harm they suffer, than the rich."

"For there are far more poor than rich." Strange tapped on the armrest and said, "How many people are there in the world like him?" Most of them are in the same family situation as I used to, and they are doing well, but they basically have no savings......

"That's right, the situation now is that in this country, a tiny minority of elites decide the fate of the vast majority of people, right?"

Stark and Strange looked at each other and nodded, and Schiller continued, "This elite group actually knows that mutants are not that harmful to them, and they are more likely to encounter mutant outbreaks than those

Ordinary people are much smaller, and even if they suffer damage, they can afford to lose money."

"But have you noticed that the anti-mutant sentiment of this group of people is much stronger than that of the general public?"

Strange touched his chin and said, "From my experience working in hospitals, it seems that this is true, hospitals often treat mutants who have suffered from deformation injuries, and ordinary nurses or trainee nurses can at most complain that the wounds are a bit scary, or that the situation is complicated and difficult to deal with, and it will only add to their workload."

"But our vice president often curses, saying that these mutants should die and never show up in their hospital."

"Why do you think that?" Schiller asked.

Strange frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, the wounds of those mutants are not easy to deal with, but in fact, ordinary people are similar, if you have ever seen someone who has been in a serious car accident, you will know that the degree of human injury is not the most weird, only more weird, nurses are used to seeing this kind of thing."

"However, the hospital where I worked before was a private hospital, and the director had a stake in it, and the income was linked to the income of the hospital, and when there was an outbreak of large-scale injuries in the mutant ability, the hospital would be crowded with those injured people, and with it, there would be journalists, and they liked to report on this."

"Because of the media and reporters, it is impossible for the director to kick them out, but many of these people cannot afford to pay the sky-high medical fees of private hospitals, and more importantly, there are too many people to occupy the convalescent ward, resulting in patients who have previously booked a high-end ward cannot be admitted......

"In other words, most of the anger and hatred of the public class towards mutants comes from existential threats, such as being delayed by mutants to go to work and school, being increased by mutants, and even losing their lives in accidents, but most elites hate mutants. Most of them come from mutants who have made them lose their interests beyond survival."

"Mostly like that." Stark spoke, "I've heard some shareholders complain, but many of them have never seen mutants at all, and they just have to pay more for security to prevent some mutants from getting out of control, so they hate mutants to death."

"That's true." Schiller put his hand on the armrest and said, "But not everyone deserves to lose their profits. They also have to put in the effort to run the industry, they can't accept the loss, and it's normal to have emotions."

"But there is a more typical kind of person, who talks about ism, but in heart is still business, and they can get more benefits from this kind of behavior of anti-mutants."

"Some politicians will use this kind of proposition to win votes for themselves, and some companies will choose to take sides to curry favor with the majority of users, but these people have more say than ordinary people and can better determine the future direction of the country."

"In other words, in fact, many people do not go against mutants because they sympathize with the general public, but because they are profitable, and the same is true for the people who make this plan."

"They don't hate mutants because they want to stop them from joining the solar system development program, but because they want to prevent them from joining the solar system development program so that they can get more of their cake."

Schiller glanced at Stark and Strange, and both nodded, they felt that Schiller had a point.

In fact, now, many of the people who are the happiest people against mutants have never even seen mutants.

Looking through the media that reported anti-mutant reports, many media had errors in their language and writing, and even one newspaper wrote the mutant X gene as the Y gene, and a group of people echoed it at the bottom, saying that the Y gene should be eliminated.

"To sum up, since this group of people can oppose mutants for the sake of profit, then, as long as the benefits are sufficient, they can also worship mutants as gods, black is them, white is also them, and the speed of changing their words only depends on the amount of money."

Stark narrowed his eyes at Schiller and said, "You want to lure him in? But now, they can gain the most by countering mutants. It is to divert domestic contradictions, and if you want to induce them to change their tune, then you must come up with greater benefits."

Schiller shook his head and said, "It's a method, but it's too laborious, and it's not like I haven't tried it, I said I could help them solve the domestic contradictions once and for all, and they said I was an ultra-left madman."

"I'm not going to do this thankless thing anymore, let's do it another way." Schiller smiled, then said:

"We can't increase the benefits they get by touting mutants, but we can increase the losses they suffer by repelling mutants."
