Lacking organization, program, or even leadership, the black riot was quickly quelled, with heavy casualties among the black population.
But surprisingly, the civil unrest subsided very quickly... In fact, when the government is really determined to do something, it is difficult for the people to resist. It can only be said that America is not doomed. On the whole, people still hope to live in peace, and no one rises up in rebellion.
Of course, this is also related to the international situation.
It's not just the United States that is experiencing this. Similar riots have occurred in almost all Western countries. It's not that there is any collusion or anything, but mainly because everyone has had a hard time in recent years. There is a saying that goes, "A poor couple has many worries."
This is also true at the national level.
When the economy is good, all contradictions are not contradictions. After all, everything is easy with money, and everyone is willing to take advantage of it. But as a series of events led to a global economic recession, no one can make money. Then the problem arises.
Everyone will have internal conflicts, and then feel that each other’s interests have been violated... In fact, there are many reasons why everyone’s life is bad, not just immigration, but problematic emotions always need to be vented!
For example, riots broke out in France recently, which has nothing to do with the strange phenomena that occurred in France itself.
The riots in France originated from a small incident.
On June 6, in Nanterre, Hauts-de-Seine, France, a police officer opened fire when stopping a car, killing a 27-year-old boy who was driving. In this case, whether the boy was dissatisfied with the police's management and provoked the police to draw their guns, or whether the French police used excessive law enforcement and he was criminally responsible, this can actually be found out through a slightly more detailed investigation. There are criminals in every country in the world, and there are also cases of excessive law enforcement by the police. As long as this society is fair and as long as most people can treat this matter with a calm attitude, the truth will definitely be dug out. Whoever is wrong and who commits a crime will be punished. This is not a big deal, and I believe that similar things have probably happened in any country, but unfortunately, it happened in France today. France already has many social contradictions, and then this small matter ignited the anger of almost everyone.
Especially when people learned that the dead young man was an African from the lower middle class, they equated this simple public security case or police brutality case with the government police's oppression of the lower middle class. Coincidentally, at the end of last year, Netflix launched a TV series called "Athena", which tells the story of the great riots in France 18 years ago in 2005. If you have the chance, you can watch this TV series online, because it is said that many shots are spliced from the shots in 2005.
Whether it is the 2005 riots or the TV series "Athena", they are very similar to the reality in France today, as if the French people want to put the content of the TV series into practice. There are even French police who say that the reality happening today is ten times or even a hundred times more tragic than the TV series and the 2005 riots. On June 6, a 27-year-old boy died. Starting from the evening of the 17th, riots of varying degrees occurred in many cities in France. During the riots from June 28 to the early morning of July 6, the police arrested more than 30 people across the country, including 7 people in the capital Paris. The average age of the rioters arrested is only 1 years old.
So people can't help but ask what happened to France? In fact, many problems can be analyzed from an economic perspective. In the past two years, France's economy has encountered major problems, and the employment situation of young people has become worse and worse. Therefore, many contradictions that were previously covered up have now been concentrated. In particular, we can see that almost all the participants in this large-scale demonstration are young people, all minors, so much so that Macron called on the parents of these children to discipline their children. Even senior French officials said that if a family has children who participate in the demonstration and riot and are arrested by the police, then the parents of the children will also be held criminally responsible and even fined.
France actually faces two problems. On the one hand, France is too dark. France is a white country, but in recent years, with the continuous influx of various immigrants, the color of the French people has long changed. Even the most typical example is the French national football team. If you don’t tell you that this is the French team, just looking at the skin color, you might think that this is probably an African team. The influx of a large number of Africans into France will indeed solve the problem of France’s labor shortage, but on the other hand, a large number of newly introduced immigrants belong to the bottom of society, with extremely low incomes and poor living conditions. They are even the first to lose their jobs at the slightest economic disturbance.
It is obvious that their lives have not been easy recently. Domestic conflicts have become increasingly prominent, the crisis has intensified, inflation has risen, prices have increased, and calls for wage increases have grown.
In fact, this is because there are not enough resources and the upper level is unwilling to make concessions, which leads to internal conflicts.
In fact, the best solution is to redistribute social resources... But the problem is that this is equivalent to a revolution, and no one is willing to give up their own interests to others. Another way is to find new points of interest from the outside... There has also been internal circulation in British history, and the crime rate among the poor has increased sharply, so Britain began to send poor criminals to Australia by ship to ease the conflict, and at the same time encouraged people to immigrate to America. If they can't afford a ticket, they can sell themselves as indentured slaves. Britain has avoided turmoil by exporting population and robbing resources from abroad with national power. The principle behind this is by no means that Britain has some panacea. It has continuously expanded the boundaries of resources and exported population to avoid social turmoil caused by internal circulation.
Unfortunately, this trick is useless now.
Let's take our Daiying as an example. Britain has lost its industrial capacity, that is, the ability to "rob" resources with technology, and has lost the ability to rob violently. All problems will be exposed. Can the democratic system correct it? In theory, it can be done by using taxes or other means to allocate the assets of the upper class to the middle and lower classes. If it cannot be done, it will only become more and more turbulent. This is a moderate reform. It is said that Napoleon was a dictator, but Napoleon carried out land reform. Democracy is more difficult to reform. Interest groups have more room for operation under the democratic system.
The historical cycle of China can be attributed to the periodic killing of the upper class, unrest to eliminate the surplus population, and then redistributing the land, starting over again, until the contradiction between population and land (food) resources reaches a critical point again. Zhang Juzheng's "One Whip Law" in the Ming Dynasty and Yongzheng's "Dian Ding Ru Mu" are essentially direct taxes based on the distribution of property at the time. With the continuous growth of the population, further taxation will only aggravate social contradictions. People with property have a low tax burden, and people without property cannot afford it. Once the survival line is reached, there will be a big turmoil. The Republic of China carried out a constitutional revolution at the top, but the result was the same as the Weimar Republic in Germany at the same time. Without land reform, the lives of the lower class cannot be improved, and there will eventually be a violent revolution at the bottom. The important thing is not the form of constitutionalism. If the Republic of China cannot make the lives of the majority of people better than those of the Qing Dynasty, the equal citizenship rights of all people will bring spiritual pleasure to the upper class, but will not help the most urgent material satisfaction of the lower class.
In a country like the United States, some people boast about the separation of powers, and some people boast about the Constitution. The greatest luck of the United States is the abundance of land resources. In 1783, when the country was founded, there were 300 million people and 200 million square kilometers. In 1900, there were 900 million square kilometers and 7600 million people. It has not been harmed by resource shortages for a long time, and the labor income has continued to be higher than that of old Europe. Killing people and occupying land. Then, Americans talked about the advantages of the system, and others ignored the resource constraints and followed suit. As a result, the United States has accumulated enough contradictions with only 3 million people. The United States is no exception and is also subject to the constraints of the law. The United States has now lost the dignity of its heyday, and as the United States goes downhill, its racial and religious contradictions will definitely erupt. Just like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Nian Army, and the great turmoil in Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Xinjiang during the Xianfeng and Tongzhi years, when it rains, it will rain. Will Britain and the United States be able to cope better than the Qing Dynasty?
Regardless of whether it is Chinese or Western, and regardless of the system, there is no easy way to go, and no other good prescription. In summary, reform on one hand and investment on the other, and the rest of the prescriptions are useless.
However, it is unlikely that a revolution will happen in the short term.
After all, everyone is playing identity politics.
The real elites have all been bought off... Although I don’t think elites are anything good, if a group of grassroots people want to unite and work towards a common goal, they need someone to lead them... This is the objective law of the development of things.
……
As the world situation became more chaotic, the US government finally understood what Ancient One's warning meant.
However, they did not expect that the scope of the impact would be so wide. Of course, this is also related to the current situation. The root cause of the chaos is not those visitors from other dimensions. They are just the initiators. In essence, all countries in the world have accumulated many conflicts. Those monsters and demons from other dimensions have essentially just ignited these conflicts and made them explode all at once.
Meanwhile, Kai finally returns to his loyal Earth.
He didn't expect that the situation on Earth would become like this in just a few days.
"That means the Hong Kong Temple is the only one that has not been destroyed?"
Kay met Strange, who was recovering from his injuries at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
Strange's injuries were very serious, and he really couldn't be discharged from the hospital for a while. Again, not everyone can use healing magic. It's like a talent for mathematics. If you know how to do it, you know how to do it. If you don't know how to do it, you really don't know how to do it. Strange originally thought that he was a doctor and should have talent in this area. However... Although Strange's spell talent was first-class, he still didn't have the talent for healing magic. This had nothing to do with whether he was a doctor or not.
So he could only lie in the hospital.
Fortunately, he is not completely useless. He is given the power to contact the outside world and can be regarded as the external liaison of Kamar-Taj.
This will not affect his recovery. He only needs to leave his body to have a normal conversation with others... Although the person he is talking to may feel a little uncomfortable, it is not a big problem. His body is still lying on the hospital bed to recover.
But Strange himself doesn't like this very much.
"It seems that I also need to go to Hong Kong."
Come to think of it... Kai has never returned to China in his life.
This suddenly made Kai feel homesick.
Although he knew that the China in this time and space was actually two different things from his hometown, at least there was no such thing as the S.H.I.E. Bureau in Kai's hometown.
In fact, when Kai was heading east, he knew that he could not return to his hometown. It was just that he still had some thoughts at that time, so he continued. When the road to the east was cut off, Kai gave up and returned to the British Isles.
"Please take me with you. I'm almost suffocating. I feel like my spine is about to rot. I can't lie down anymore!"
Strange knew about dragon bone extract, although he didn't know the true situation of this thing, but he knew that Kai had a panacea that could cure all diseases!
Strange had hoped Tony would get him some.
Whether it was out of his professional habits as a doctor or out of his wizard's desire to explore the unknown, Strange was very eager for dragon bone extract.
However, Tony knew how sensitive this thing was, and he would never reveal it to anyone without Kai's permission. Those old men in the government had been bothering him for a long time in order to regain their youth! If they knew that there was a magical drug like dragon bone extract with no side effects in the world, who knows how crazy these guys would be.
Kai thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with taking Strange along.
So he took out a small bottle.
Two drops of dragon bone extract were given to Strange.
A magical thing happened again. The serious injuries that should have taken at least a few years to heal were quickly repaired in just a few seconds!
In the blink of an eye!
Strange watched Kai put away the dragon bone extract with eager eyes, feeling a little regretful.
The last time he saw dragon bone extract was in Asgard, when Kai used it to keep Odin alive after Surtur and Hela failed.
It now seems that this thing is even more magical than he thought.
After Strange felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, he pulled out all the tubes and instruments on his body.
Then Strange's ex-girlfriend rushed over with a nurse. After this guy pulled the instrument off his body, the instrument immediately sounded an alarm.
They even thought Strange was dead.
When they rushed in, they found Strange taking off his clothes... This unscientific scene stunned everyone present.
