Vol 2 Chapter 508: , Haiyao

As soon as Professor Fafnell's article was published, it immediately evoked a strong response. Because of this article, the American people are publicly required to abandon the "unrealistic dream of being a great power" and pursue those seemingly small but more tangible happiness.
Professor Fafnier said in the article that the United States of America has deviated from his basic pursuit when it was founded. When the nation was founded, the people of North America did not want to build a so-called "great power" because they have all witnessed a "great power." , How the "strong country" oppressed and enslaved its people.
Back then, it was precisely to escape the religious persecution of a "powerful country" that some ancestors fled to North America. Since then, the reason why North America will set off a war of independence is entirely due to the squeeze of a "powerful country."
When North America became independent, one of the worries of the American people was whether they would face three thousand tyrants within one mile after they drove away the tyrant three thousand miles away. Therefore, in the beginning, the people of North America were very alert to the government. There are many restrictions on the power of the government.
It is precisely because of this that the North American people can enjoy a free and peaceful happy life within a certain period of time. However, this kind of free and happy life is in danger of being destroyed by the aspirations to become a "powerful country."
Because one of the requirements of a "strong country" is that the government must concentrate its huge financial and material resources. Wasn't the reason why Britain squeezed and enslaved its country and the people of its territories in order to concentrate these financial resources?
There are only so many wealth in the world, and these wealth are not in the hands of the people, but in the hands of the government. "Powerful country" actually refers to a powerful government, so if you want to become a "powerful country," you must search for the people and compete with the people for profit.
Now in the United States, there is a very bad tendency to want to build a "strong country." It is precisely under this tendency that the United States will continue to try to expand its territory, conflict with the surrounding Indian tribes and hostile countries in the north, and even with friendly countries that have helped North America win its independence. And eventually led to war.
Professor Fafnir worried that all this was a big conspiracy. Some people are using war to try to establish a large government that can arbitrarily interfere with the freedom of the people. The pursuit of becoming a "powerful country" is a manifestation of this conspiracy.
So in the end, Professor Fafnier urged everyone to be vigilant, reject the temptation to become a "powerful nation", and keep the dignity that belongs to the ordinary people.
To be honest, Fafnir’s article is full of loopholes and simply untenable. Among other things, isn't France a powerful country? Do the French people have no dignity?
So of course someone came forward to criticize Fafnir. It's just that the way they criticize is very interesting.
They first pointed out that Fafnir's opposition to "the rise of a great power" and "the dignity of the petty people" is very imprecise. Because in the world, there is a model that can guarantee the "rise of a great power" and maintain the dignity of the "small people", and that is the French Republic. Regardless of how to learn from a good example like the French Republic, it is obviously wrong to fix the "rise of a great power" on the line of an evil country like Britain.
So why can the rise of a great power in France and the dignity of the people be balanced, while the British cannot?
"This is of course due to the difference between British culture and French culture." Harvard University professor and doctor of law at the University of Paris, Mr. Grider made this answer.
"France is traditionally an agricultural country. The characteristics of agriculture are introverted, cooperative, and harmonious with the world. Therefore, when facing contradictions, French people are always willing to put themselves in the position and consider others. Therefore, we It can be seen that the French people are particularly capable of empathy. Therefore, when building a powerful country, their purpose is very clear, which is to safeguard the rights, freedom and justice of the people.
Let us take the example of His Excellency Napoleon Bonaparte, the first in power in France. Many Americans like to compare President George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte in power. But in fact, they are not comparable at all.
First of all, in terms of merit, in the war against British tyranny, although President Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, he has won some victories. But let’s be honest with you, before France sent troops to the war, President Washington also lost more and less victory. The most critical and difficult battles in the War of Independence, even if it cannot be said that all were fought by General Lafayette and his French army, but most of them were the credit of the French army, this is very certain.
As for Napoleon Bonaparte’s reign, it was under the siege of tyrants all over Europe. It turned the tide and completely defeated the tyrants of Europe. In terms of military achievements, Napoleon Bonaparte’s reign can completely match Alexander the Great. Such military experts are comparable.
In terms of the achievements in governing the country, President Washington is also not enough to compare with Napoleon Bonaparte in power. The United States implements a federal system, and the states are basically autonomous. The president, especially President Washington, is more often just a coordinator between states. But Napoleon Bonaparte’s reign is different, he is the true manager of France. Under his leadership, the progress of France really surprised the whole world. It is precisely because of this that Napoleon Bonaparte's reign in France and even the world has gained far more support than any previous leader. Even Augustus and Charlemagne cannot compare with him on this point.
Therefore, President Washington cannot be compared with Napoleon Bonaparte in terms of political achievements and prestige. In addition, Napoleon Bonaparte was a great jurist and an academician of the French Academy of Sciences. In all respects, Napoleon Bonaparte was the greatest man of this era, even the perfect man of this era.
Therefore, when people praise President Washington for maintaining the democratic system, don't forget that President Washington has never had enough power and prestige to destroy democracy and establish dictatorship.
But when Napoleon Bonaparte is in power, his power and prestige are enough to make him go further, and the French people are not opposed to him becoming Dick Tudor or even Augustus. However, Napoleon Bonaparte was still loyal to democracy and maintained democracy. From this point of view, Napoleon Bonaparte’s reign is the real face of the temptation of power and victory over it.
Why was Napoleon Bonaparte able to overcome this temptation, never forgetting his original aspirations and being loyal to the people of France? This of course has to be attributed to France's introverted, cooperative, and harmonious culture with the world.
In contrast, what is British culture like? British culture is the culture of pirates. Because of the lack of warm and fertile land, a large number of British people live by being robbers and looting. If you pay attention to various British legends, you will find that there are a lot of praises of thieves and pirates in British stories. They are not ashamed of plundering and killing.
Therefore, we can see that for the sake of benefit, the external British will use piracy against the Spanish and Dutch; internally, the British will use draconian laws to deprive farmers of land and oppress citizens of different beliefs. Because in British culture, these are not shame, but honor.
We Americans are only victims of this shameful culture. Our ancestors were in the UK and were persecuted because of their faith, so they had to venture to North America. Later, it was also because we could not withstand the oppression of the British that we launched the War of Independence.
But just as another Bonaparte, Dean Bonaparte of the French Academy of Sciences said: ‘When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is staring at you. In this world, there is no nation that has suffered from the persecution of the British like us, and no nation has been entangled with the British for a long time like us. On the one hand, we are fighting against the tyranny of Britain, but on the other hand, the tyranny of the British has penetrated deeply into our culture and even our soul.
Therefore, after Mayflower landed in North America, it was helped by the local Indians and passed the most difficult period. But then we had conflicts with them because of beliefs and other things. As a result, we killed them all. I'm not saying that Indians are completely innocent, but why can't we use advanced culture and correct beliefs to inspire them, but adopt such a tyrannical way? Think about how Christ reacted when he was denied by others, and when he was insulted and persecuted by others. How about us? Are we still qualified to claim to be his followers?
In addition, our "Declaration of Independence" could have been even greater. But at the time of publication, some key words were deleted. These words criticize the British invading and kidnapping some people that have never sinned against them-African blacks, and selling them as slaves to obtain benefits.
Why do we delete such words full of humane glory? Because we are also profiting from the atrocities of the British. On this issue, we are complicit in the crimes of the British, and we are unwilling to sacrifice our own interests for justice. Here, we can clearly see that the greed and tyranny of England also exist in us.
Let's compare France again. In the royal era, France also participated in the slave trade and relied on the suppression of black slaves for profit. But when the banners of freedom, democracy, and fraternity were flying high, we saw how France responded to the justice demands of the blacks in Santo Domingo.
With the French military power at the time, it was almost easy to extinguish the resistance of some blacks who had little combat effectiveness. If the ruler of Santo Domingo is Britain or even us, what will happen to this matter? There is no doubt that the blood of black people will stain the entire Santo Domingo red.
But how did France deal with this matter? France did not betray their conscience for the sake of profit. Not only did they fail to suppress these blacks, they also recognized their citizenship rights. They also actively supported these blacks to establish their own country, so that the former Santo Domingo and the present Republic of Haiti became The paradise and paradise of the black people. This is the approach that truly conforms to the spirit of Christ, and the superiority of French culture is so perfect at this moment that it is admirable.
Only a civilization rooted in a solid earth can create such a broad and heavy culture, breed an eternal perfect man like Napoleon Bonaparte, and produce a great country like the French Republic. The pirate culture that emerged from the violent ocean can only lead us to continue to struggle with the plunder and slaughter of others as well as our own people. After all, human beings are not marine creatures. Human legs must stand on solid ground.
Be loyal to the earth, just like loyal to your conscience; embrace the earth, just like hugging our mother. Only by standing on a solid ground can we truly become a complete and powerful person.
I am not opposed to the United States becoming a ‘powerful country’, nor would I believe that there is a contradiction between the ‘rise of a great power’ and the ‘dignity of the petty people’. But the ‘rise of a great power’ must be based on our departure from the pristine ocean of tyranny and the land of graciousness and generosity, otherwise, the ‘rise of a great power’ can become a trampling on the dignity of the ‘small people’.
Escape from the sea and land on land, America! "
Such an article of course caused more controversy, especially those slave owners in the south were extremely angry. They madly cursed Grey in their newspapers, claiming that he would go to hell.
In the beginning, these people tried to argue with Grider in the newspaper. But it was clear that the slave owners of the soil buns couldn't even understand the most basic syllogisms, and their logical level was worse than that of a king. As a result, it was naturally criticized in the debate, and it ended up with the sentence "What you said is false".
Since the weapons of criticism can't deal with Greed~EbookFREE.me~ those with vigorous morale naturally think of criticism of weapons. And this is exactly what the Ministry of Truth hopes to see.
The Ministry of Truth has noticed that some southern newspapers have even publicly called for "Tianzhu country thief". Moreover, some soldiers who participated in the massacre were extremely dissatisfied with the criticism of Gried against them. For example, a Southern militia organization called "Pure Faith" in Georgia had already posted the portrait and name of Gried when practicing shooting. On the target.
Naturally, their newspaper immediately exposed these things in the Massachusetts newspaper. Then the public opinion in Massachusetts was naturally in an uproar, although there are a large number of people in Massachusetts who disagree with Gred's point of view. But freedom of speech is protected by the Bill of Rights after all. So the governor of Massachusetts even had to stand up and shout to Georgia, asking them to respect freedom of speech.
Georgia’s answer was:
Putting that guy’s name on the target is also an expression, a speech, and it is also free speech.
