I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

In the subsequent channels, Mycroft also instructed the radio and television people to start looping some of the self-rescue and evacuation knowledge they summarized.

At the same time, they began to inform them of the location of the nearest civil defense facilities.

After doing all this, he went to the front line in an airship to supervise the battle without stopping.

Since those monsters came out of the sea, they would inevitably land on major coastlines.

A large part of the army will be mobilized there.

With his departure, President Allen's unscripted performance gradually spread throughout the country.

But to Mycroft's surprise, the effect of the speech was very good.

After a brief silence, although people were equally panicked, order did not collapse.

The large-scale riots he expected did not occur.

The poor communication system not only limits the speed of refuting rumors, but also limits the speed of spread of rumors.

Because it was announced on the day the enemy officially invaded, there was actually a time lag.

But many people also poured out of the city.

Instead of rushing to shelter in the city, they plan to return to the countryside and stay with their families.

So this also led to road congestion in various streets.

However, there are also armies whose transportation mainly relies on railways, so although it has an impact, it is not actually very big.

Today, Britannia in this world has gone through the governance and revolution of Arthur and Mordred, and is completely different from the colonial country that remained on this land in another world.

Political institutions shape social culture, and social culture shapes social cognition.

In another world, the early country was a group of thirteen colonies. They were independent of each other. Landowners and social elites formed state assemblies. Later, during the War of Independence, representatives from state assemblies were selected to form the Continental Congress. .

Although Washington was the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Army, the money for his wars was actually raised for him by the landowners in the Continental Congress.

After independence, the landowners were all about the same strength and no one could rule the other, so they appointed the president, who was both the head of state representing the country and the head of the government.

The landowners were afraid that the president would become a tyrant, so they set a fixed term of office. Later, they added the rule that they could only be re-elected once. Later, they added the legislative and judicial organs to check and balance the president.

The states also have to watch out for each other, and the legislative branch, Congress, is divided into two houses.

Since they are not affiliated with each other, naturally they all have to be elected. The president is four years, the representative is two years, and the senator is six years. This involves various interest entanglements, who is whose person, who is whose supporter. .

The final result is that there is a national election every two years, and with the pre-election campaign, the real working time is only one year.

The underlying logic of power in this country is to oppose concentration and encourage checks, balances and confrontation.

In essence, the past national system was created to ensure the interests of landlords, but now landlords have become capital.

What landlords and capital fear most is the intervention of a big government, so they need a loose government.

Including the universal values ​​they promote such as "freedom" and the protection of "privatization" are essentially to protect capital.

Absolute freedom also means the absolute oppression of the weak by the strong, giving capital a reason to legally "plunder", and the winner takes all.

There is an interesting phenomenon in that country, that is, the proportion of their urban population exceeds 80%.

why?

Because the poor have no land, they cannot say the words "at worst, go home and farm". They can only gather in the city and become those wandering "zombies".

So, won’t these poor people resist?

It can be said that these capitals have put a lot of effort into this.

Although education is compulsory, poor people study in schools with happy education, play all day long, and happily move bricks after graduation. The rich go to expensive private schools and go straight to expensive universities.

At the same time, various labels began to be created, such as white, black, men's rights, women's rights, lgb, etc.

Let these poor people at the bottom confront each other, cut society vertically and prevent it from cutting crosswise, and replace class narratives with race and gender narratives.

Capital, on the other hand, is sitting upstairs on Wall Street, holding a wine glass and laughing while these low-level people march angrily on Wall Street holding signs.

Of course, sometimes in order to appease these poor people, capital will distribute the wealth plundered from the world through "freedom" to a small part of these poor people to appease them.

But it is obvious that this model cannot last long, and there will always be times when capital cannot plunder money. So what happened at that time was naturally a zero-dollar purchase.

This is like the "exhaust valve" on the top of a pressure cooker. When the pressure in the pot reaches a certain level, the "exhaust valve" will be lifted up to allow the gas to escape, thus preventing the pressure cooker from exploding.

The "zero dollar purchase" activity has a complete mechanism. It is covered by insurance. Most shopkeepers calmly watch the rush-buyers walk away with their trophies, and calmly retain the on-site evidence. Afterwards, all losses will be compensated by the insurance company. As for the insurance premium, when the wool comes out of the sheep, it is all borne by the consumer. The buyer pays the bill. To be precise, the people who pay for zero-yuan purchases are the broad middle class, not the country’s ruling class, let alone the poor at the bottom.

Of course, "zero-yuan purchases" are just a configuration in this pressure relief system. The biggest pressure relief mechanism is the election every four years.

This is also a super-large performance art performance that is performed every four years to make these poor people feel like they are the masters of the country.

Parties control the media, promote the candidates they want to elect, and let them conduct elections within their own defined boundaries.

Of course, other candidates can also run, but they obviously cannot let the media promote themselves.

The vast majority of ordinary people who do not understand politics will only learn about candidates through media channels.

So if you watch these election performances often, you will ask a visceral question, "Why do you still choose these people over and over again?"

The poor people held their ballots and excitedly voted for the candidate they "supported". After seeing their candidate become the president, they were satisfied and felt that they were the masters of the country. After the election, they continued to throw bricks and fly leaves.

Is there freedom there?

Of course freedom.

Is it heaven?

of course.

But it is a paradise for the rich and has nothing to do with the poor.

The rich take the plane to Loli Island, while the poor send their daughters to Loli Island.

This kind of loose political system that encourages confrontation naturally makes it difficult to centralize power, and the contradictions among the people are deep and naturally makes it difficult to unite.

Unfortunately, in Char's world, this kind of social culture occupies part of the mainstream.

Now, after a series of operations by Char behind the scenes, the main country in this world has changed to another social culture, which has also led to the current union.

Although there are still voices of opposition, today's human beings can indeed be well prepared to face the enemy
