Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 518 Depression Baby
In 1996, with the collapse of the Muggle bridge, the entire wizarding world knew that Voldemort had made a comeback, the public fell into panic, Diagon Alley became very depressed, and only Weasley's Magic and Trick Shop was still open.
At that time, there was a medal sold on the street that said it could change the wearer's appearance, but in fact it was just a scam. This kind of medal would only make the wearer's face turn orange, and in severe cases, tentacles would grow all over the body. General sarcoma. Arthur Weasley transferred from the Abuse of Magic Office to this department after the establishment of the Ministry of Magic's Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Equipment Detection and Confiscation Office, and collected a large number of Transformation Medals every day.
Changing appearance is a compulsory course for Auror training. It is not an easy course. Tonks is born with a Disguise Magus and can easily pass the test, but she is not suitable for that kind of lurking Auror, mainly because she controls Can't understand his emotions, and is not good at playing others.
People who perform special tasks have some special features. Pomona's specialty is hiding. She is almost invisible like an invisible person. Hufflepuff's good at hiding has influenced Neville Longbottom.
Faced with the pursuit of the Carlo brothers and sisters, he fled to the Room of Requirement, so that members of Da could live in it to avoid capture. It felt like a guerrilla avoiding the Gestapo. Snape was like the SS in an enemy-occupied area, everyone. He didn't dare to resist on the surface, but he kept making small moves secretly. Compared with the real Great Depression, this kind of small fight is just like a joke.
When Newt Scamander went to New York, it was three years before the Great Depression in the United States, and silently caused panic on the streets of New York, and there were few people walking on the streets.
Since Prohibition was promulgated on January 17, 1920, the United States has been in crisis. The original intention of this bill was good, to reduce domestic violence caused by alcoholism, but domestic violence has turned into social violence, and there are musicians carrying "violin cases" wandering the streets everywhere.
During the Great Depression, there were two kinds of men, one was just waiting to die, relying on government relief to barely have a full meal, usually playing poker, basking in the sun, taking naps, smoking cheap cigarettes, and doing nothing when hard work was useless Just play around, there is no use in trying anyway.
When there is no hope, a large number of people will give up. In the Middle Ages, due to frequent food failures and wars, civilians often waited at the door of the church to release food from the almshouse. The Christian church was once very rich, not only had large tracts of land near Rome, but also in other countries, and the men lay on the ground basking in the sun, doing nothing, like a flock of tame sheep.
One is those who don't want to live and wait to die. They join gangs and lead a precarious life of gangsters. Their money came and went quickly. From 1930 to 1939, many states in the United States successively declared horse racing legal. The vast majority of people can't make a fortune from gambling. After losing all their money, they start robbing banks. The crime rate has soared twice as much as before the Great Depression.
Otherwise, it is suicide. Since 1932, the suicide rate in the United States has soared. Because of the psychological pressure caused by long-term unemployment, even if there is no suicide, there are mental problems.
When he was so desperate, the President of the United States did not do anything, such as helping the hungry people, but thought that this should be done by charitable organizations. The problem is that even the church does not have so much food for relief. He gave the relief money to The big bourgeoisie and big farmers don't care about the poor.
The laissez-faire and self-management principles he believed in further exacerbated the latent crisis. The years of singing and dancing before the stock market crash anesthetized people's nerves. The money can't be withdrawn at all.
Like a lazy old cat, he was not only slow, but also rarely took steps to deal with the economic crisis. His act of saving big capitalists was for votes, but people abandoned him without hesitation in the 1933 general election and voted for Franklin Roosevelt, who advocated reform. Prohibition was also lifted after Roosevelt took office.
Currency is originally a medium of exchange, and its function is to facilitate people's exchange. If the bank fails and cannot withdraw the money, people are worried about depositing the money in the bank, so they hide the money as in ancient times. As a result, the currency in circulation in the market has decreased and deflation has occurred. At this time, the Muggle president encouraged people to spend money. Of course, no one paid attention to him. Some states began to print their own money, so some states in the United States resumed barter Farmers in many villages exchanged agricultural products, and everyone returned from the civilized society after the Industrial Revolution to the primitive society.
Everyone has no money, and the income of doctors and lawyers will drop. Consumerism will lead to the disappearance of civil society. The duty of doctors is to save people, but in a consumerist society, only those who have money can see a doctor. Get sick all the time, especially the rich, which reduces the income of doctors.
Consumerism is the easiest way to brainwash women, and these doctors start performing illegal abortions in order to increase their income. According to Christian teachings, abortion is illegal, but in the economic depression, the situation in the countryside is worse than in the city, and the relief food is often not available. In order to make a living, some young and beautiful girls come to the big cities, and they become men. prey.
Men will not teach women the correct values because they are ignorant and incapable of discerning. Instead, they will take advantage of this to get what they want. The consequences of stealing the forbidden fruit are borne by women. These girls often have no medical insurance and no Which regular hospital will accept abortion operations, only such illegal doctors will accept them. Countless young girls die on their operating tables every year. They often end their cases as missing. In that era of extremely high crime rates, No one cares about the loss of one or two girls.
Moral decline makes people do crazy things, people start burning forests to get jobs as firefighters.
During the Great Depression, people called for the strong to lead them out of this soft quagmire. Even the seemingly tough writer Hemingway became a sought-after hero, and Hemingway's works are heavily imprinted with Nietzsche's philosophy. People need "heroes". Instead of cunning and clever businessmen.
If an act prevents the businessman from gaining benefits and profits, he will not do it. As a result, there have been grotesque behaviors in which some people pour milk even though many people are suffering from hunger and malnutrition.
Pouring milk is in line with the market economy, but it is not in line with humanitarianism. In the words of the Chinese, "you don't fear being punished by God if you waste things like this." This is also a collective unconscious behavior, just like the control group in Martina's human nature experiment. Someone put a gun to Martina's head, but it was a "show", why would anyone want to stop it?
The behavior of the dairy farmer pouring milk is also a market behavior. If the dairy farmer does not make money, he will starve to death. Why does he give the excess milk to others?
He will also settle accounts with those who raise objections, how much he will lose because of this, people who are full of money, their humanity has been wiped out, even if he sees a baby crying without milk and hungry, he will not feel anything.
He might even think, it's not his fault, what kind of children are born in such an economic environment? Why do some people just can't fasten their pants?
The real hell does not necessarily have raging fire, it may also be covered with ice.
At that time, the American magic world was also busy with wars, and had no time to take care of Muggles. The magic world was "lively" because of Grindelwald.
Businessmen can promote social development for a period of time, but it is heroes who lead people to a new era after all.
There are always some things in this world that can ignite people's passion and make people devote themselves to it regardless of the consequences and their own lives. An excellent speaker can stir up people's emotions and do irrational things, regardless of personal gains and losses. Make any sacrifices just for the "dream" that looks ridiculous in the eyes of businessmen.
Does reading for the rise of China sound ridiculous? However, the person who said this sentence became a great man, and they were also foreign students. Those who studied to earn money were only the ruled class after graduation, and did not get the social status they wanted. "People who work have to live in Hoover Village."
Churchill also has a bad habit of mixing, but everyone should read his speeches.
Here's what he said during the Dunkirk battle:
Even if a large area of Europe and many old countries have been or are about to be captured by the Communist Party, we still cannot admit defeat lightly. We must persevere until the end. We will fight in France, we will fight in the sea and in the ocean, we will fight Keep faith and strength, we will protect our island no matter what it costs us. Maybe we'll fight on the beaches, we'll fight on the landing lands, we'll fight in the streets and fields, we'll fight on the hills, but we must never surrender, even one day, I don't want to believe it, our A large part of the British Isles is conquered and starved, and the overseas lands of our empire will arm and follow in the footsteps of the British and continue to fight until the time of God's revelation.
Albus Dumbledore used Harry Potter, the "chosen boy", to become a war hero. He was just an ordinary person, but this obvious "sign of resistance" brought hope to everyone, plus Potter Lookout stations, people didn't commit suicide out of despair like Americans did during the Great Depression.
Pomona wasn't going to use Albus's method, a politician should be good at speeches, and Hermione's speech script was too naive, and that wouldn't make her shine in the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Department.
Who says a housewife can't be the Minister for Magic? The only thing standing in Hermione's way is her husband, Ron Weasley, a very ordinary "man".
"I hate you, Severus," said Pomona through gritted teeth, picking up a quill to revise Hermione's speech while listening to the recording of Churchill's speech.
Hermione's proposition is anti-abuse and dismissal without reason, full of tragic and sympathetic factors, but it has no effect on people who lack compassion and empathy.
Hermione is going to be the "Iron Lady," not Wilmina Taft's popular "Minister of Fudge."
