Harry Potter Morning Light.

Chapter 1714 The Secret Words of the Goddess (59)
Although the Malfoy family's life in England was not satisfactory, Lucius never thought of immigrating to the United States.

One reason why Karkaroff was found after running to the wilderness, and another is that he, like many old British nobles, never really looked down on Americans.However, he is still able to accept introducing one or two American wizard families into the British social circle, but Draco suddenly rebelled at this time, he would not marry unless Astonia, and then Lucius made his idea to Severus body.

A foreign woman will not care so much about the local reputation, because all she has to face are strangers and heterogeneous cultures.To put it bluntly, by the time she was accepted by the British social circle, she had already given birth to a child. After she had a child, did she still care about who Snape really loved?

Naxisha was blinded by Lucius' handsome appearance when he was young, but later he realized that he was a man who couldn't bear the pressure.But she didn't get divorced either. Divorce is a very shameful thing, and she can live as long as she can.Only Lucius was on trial. She was really shaken when she was forced to appear in court, but at that time they were already disgraced, and it would be even more ridiculous if there were other disputes.

Nobles from the Slytherin family care about decency, as you can tell by the way they dress, even if they have nothing to recommend them on the outside, they still look good.

This is different from ordinary people who say "you have someone else outside! I want to divorce you". No matter how rich he is, he is still a commoner who wants to cling to her.

British gentry evolved from squire culture, but many squires were of peasant origin. After the enclosure movement became rich, they found ways to marry those ancient noble families.

For example, when Umbridge bought Slytherin's locket, she didn't know it belonged to Slytherin, but thought it belonged to the Selwyn family, one of the 28 pure-blood families.

Harvard was first prepared for the children of the British who went to the North American colonies. Most of these people graduated from Oxford and Cambridge. In order to allow their children to receive the same education as the British, they established Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

This is like the difference between an original famous painting and a high imitation. British aristocrats have the original Oxford and Cambridge University to study, why should they go to the "high imitation" Harvard to study?

That's right, Britain began to decline after World War I, and even handed over its status as world hegemony to the United States of America after World War II, but the upper echelons of Britain generally feel that Americans are mediocre and lack wisdom.There is a gap of more than 200 years in cognition and education between the elites of the United States and ordinary civilians. When the elites develop technology to deal with aliens, the people at the bottom still don’t believe that the earth is round and don’t believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution. .

The United States wants to use the Marshall Plan to implement "Americanization", while Britain uses modernism to oppose "Americanization". When the British working class tends to accept Hollywood movies, jazz music, and American life, the British elites adopted a fierce resistance attitude .

For example, Wilde said that a good American should go to Paris after death. Although the streets of Paris are much dirtier than London, they are much cleaner than the streets of the United States full of homeless people. Even the streets of India during the British rule were cleaner than New York is clean.

Massachusetts not only has Harvard University, but also Salem, which is the place where the witches gathered in 1692.When the witch hunt in Europe has come to an end, the witch hunt in the New World is still in full swing.

Salem, once almost the capital of New England, was the most livable place in the English colonies, a mile-long stretch of a prosperous and beautiful community, filled with the salty smell of sea water and the strong scent of pine wood.

When the new English king was crowned and the city of Boston cheered and celebrated, Salemye made the announcement. It was the only town in Massachusetts other than Boston with a population of more than 2000 people.

It's just that compared with the cosmopolitan Boston, Salem is quieter, but just as refined as Boston.

The tranquility of this small town was not broken until the arrival of a female wanderer named Sarah Goode.

Sarah Goode's father was French, a wealthy innkeeper, but he committed suicide, leaving a large sum of money to her stepfather, who died suddenly in her 20s, leaving her A large debt, followed by a series of lawsuits, left her resentful and destitute.

A cruel environment will temper a person's will, but an overly cruel environment will change a person's personality. There has been a long-term problem of helping the poor in Massachusetts. Everyone hopes to drive the poor away. However, after the war with King Philip, a large number of widows and orphans.

The residents of Salem asked the town to exempt them from road maintenance fees on the condition that they took in these orphans and widowed mothers with relief, so Sarah Goode, together with those women, was taken in by a well-meaning couple.

Sarah's emotions were difficult to control, and she was malicious towards people. She was not only ungrateful for the help of kind people, but also swearing at each other, intimidating the family and insulting their children, so the landlord drove her out six months later.

The landlady's animals started dying for no apparent reason that winter, and later, as she wandered about town, she told the villagers of Salem that she would show them off if they didn't entertain her.Sure enough, the cattle of the Na family who were threatened by her died suddenly and strangely the next morning.

At that time, people's stereotypes of witches were twitching, screaming, strangling and hypnotizing, and they could do some strange things, such as being able to become cats, dogs, wolves, hares, etc. Darwin's theory of evolution mentioned that people were changed from monkeys, Not only is this a blasphemy against the biblical God who created man, it is also an accusation of witchcraft.

In the words on the title page of "The Witch's Hammer": Not believing in witchcraft is the greatest heresy.

Those who doubted the existence of witchcraft in the 17th century were slammed as "café intellectuals", the latte-sipping liberals of the day.

If witches don't exist, why does the Bible warn Christians to beware of them?So people came up with an inference—to deny witchcraft is to deny religion, to deny witchcraft is to support witchcraft, and those who deny witchcraft are trying to make believers take witchcraft lightly, and then let them be harmed by witchcraft.Legions of the devil are everywhere, and their main purpose is to overthrow the church.

With such a person, you can’t explain to him the musical beauty in the process of proving Kepler’s laws and the law of universal gravitation. The syllables sung by the angular velocity of the earth’s elliptical orbit are mi fa mi, which sounds like misery. And famine, the lower classes drink because it prevents them from committing suicide, while the elite think they drink so much that they end up homeless.

Immigrants have worked so hard to get the green card in the United States, and the lower-class Americans have it. Are they happy?
When education is no longer a ladder for people to change their destiny, but instead plays with people's hard work, hard work and even life's destiny, people's mentality begins to change. Ordinary people begin to hate those who have knowledge, and feel that everything they say It's all in collusion with the government to deal with their conspiracy.

It doesn't matter whether the flat earth theory is true or not. Western-style democracy is a minority obeying the majority. As long as more people believe in the flat earth theory than the round earth theory, the flat earth theory is "truth".

This is unbelievable, but how many people are there in the elite class?About 10% of the population, when 90% of people think it is right, but you say they are wrong, you are not in line with the spirit of democracy.From this point of view, what is wrong with the British upper class thinking that Americans are mediocre and generally lack wisdom?

The British invention of universal suffrage is based on Bentham's utilitarianism. Bentham's view is that the happiness of society is measured by the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people, rather than to improve the happiness of the few and reduce the happiness of the majority. Not only private behavior is affected This principle governs, and all government measures are to be acted upon in accordance with it.

It is in their own interest for the majority to support a certain policy, that is, the greatest happiness is obtained by the greatest number; they surrender their rights to some one to do it for them, and in the same way recognize all his deeds, and this is It was the birth of the great Leviathan, and such a group of people united in one personality is called a nation.

The French personality led by Napoleon was a masculine male, described by words such as Caesar and Rome.

The now torn America has no single personality, but multiple personalities, like a paranoid mental patient living in an illusory world.This has also led to the fact that the United States has the highest number of people suffering from mental illness in the world, with about 26%. In contrast, the terrorists they say are mentally more stable than them.

Whether you give a gun to a mental patient, or a 2- or 3-year-old, you can't expect them to use it properly.No one knows what a mental patient will do. The child thought it was a toy when he held a gun.Originally, guns were insured, but there are many scenes in movies and TV that describe how to disarm guns. Children have a strong ability to imitate. Shooting indiscriminately, such a three-year-old baby who is still sucking on a pacifier has the power to destroy the family.

Who should be blamed for such a tragedy?

So Grindelwald's argument that wizards replace Muggles to rule the world and prevent them from destroying the earth is wrong.

They take responsibility for their own fuck up. Don't imagine that when natural disasters and plagues spread in the Middle Ages, all the blame was placed on wizards.

Burning wizards does not solve the problem, but it is a placebo, which can provide entertainment for some unfortunate people. Public execution will not bring any deterrent effect, but will bring happiness. This is an experiment in history, Dickens recorded of.

The Marshall Plan allocated 32 billion U.S. dollars to the United Kingdom, 10 billion more than France. However, the 32 billion aid did not bring such a huge effect to the United Kingdom, and even accelerated the decline of the United Kingdom to some extent.

The U.S. military fights and wastes it. Brand-new weapons and supplies are shipped to the front line. If the U.S. withdraws at that time, these materials will be sold as second-hand goods. Therefore, most of the U.S. aid to Europe is actually war leftovers, just like the American Civil War. Later, the United States sold the used Armstrong guns to Japan, as if they were engaged in the Restoration Movement.

Compared with other shattered countries, the UK does not need war surplus materials. The UK itself still has a large amount of materials to deal with. As for raw materials, Australia, New Zealand, and India are all raw material producers, and the quality and quantity of goods are better than those of the United States. More.

In 1949, more than half of the 9.2 million U.S. dollars allocated to the United Kingdom was cotton, grain, tobacco, and petroleum. The loans were only a small part, but the urgently needed industrial raw materials were not included. arrive.

U.S. industrial products took advantage of the Marshall Plan to enter Europe in large quantities, and then squeezed out the British industrial product market. At that time, Germany was already abolished, France was half-disabled, and the United Kingdom was weak. The strong and strong United States monopolized the European market. I am not interested in American products. It was the same after World War II. We only saw Americans buying European luxury goods. Who saw Europeans buying American luxury goods?
It can be said that the Marshall Plan dug the foundation of England. Although the United Kingdom is in the European Union, it does not use the euro, but has always used the pound.British gentlemen don’t believe the fairy tales of the EU. If it weren’t for the tariffs, they would have left this quagmire of slow economic growth long ago.

For the modern French, Africa is their roots.After World War II, Britain not only lost the European industrial market, but also lost its colonies. Among the many lost colonies, the loss of British India undoubtedly caused Britain the most distressed.

De Gaulle never believed in the U.S. dollar. In 1971, he exchanged all foreign exchange for gold and returned home. Other foreign exchange surplus countries also exchanged foreign exchange for gold, and the Brace Forest system collapsed.

At this time, the U.S. dollar, in order to save itself, forced oil to be settled in U.S. dollars. There was no such thing as U.S. dollars in the CFA franc system, but these West African countries bought arms from the Americans.It's just that they don't have money, except for CFA francs, foreign exchange has been confiscated by the French, so they have to trade with diamonds.

These diamonds returned to the United States and became diamond rings. Witnessed by the priest and relatives and friends, the bride happily entered the grave of love wearing these "blood diamonds".

Under the overwhelming advertising and publicity, which man does not provide a diamond ring when he proposes?
Many people are aware of the diamond scam, but people still buy diamond rings anyway.

Even if you are transparent about some things, 99% of them are not transparent, and the deception will continue.

Severus gave Pomona a ring, which was actually better than a diamond ring, and she could summon him like a master, but she didn't use it often.

And in the eyes of others, that ring doesn't look like a wedding ring.

After wearing the wedding ring, the men and women represent the Lord. Josephine has a crown with a spiral carving on it, which is the head of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Lucius told Severus in the tone of an experienced person that although vulgar, the diamond ring is indispensable, and even if the diamond is not worth the price, she must wear it, which is part of the "tradition".

Look at her happy smiling face after receiving the diamond ring, don't you feel happy too?

This is where Yangmou is more terrifying than conspiracy.

The diamond is forever, and one is forever.

Not every woman likes vintage jewellery, the kind that's freshly dug up, she's the first owner, and she likes it just as much.

It is "brand new", unlike handed down jewellery, which is "second hand".

No woman wants to be a stepmother, and the stepmother is not good to her stepson, and Lucius will not divorce and remarry for Draco.

Although it has been a long time, some people still know that the cause of the Salem incident was the stepfather who took away all the wealth of Sarah Good.

Did Sarah's mother have anything to do with her husband's suicide in this case?Did she give all her ex-husband's inheritance to Sarah's stepfather?
Sometimes people lose their minds and become crazy and extreme. It's not because she was such a person from the beginning, she was also a lovely angel.

Salem's transition from peaceful heaven to hell didn't happen overnight, either.

If people at that time could calm down, there would not be so many tragedies.
