Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

When he said these words, Carl could clearly feel the coolness passing by the back of his neck that he couldn't ignore.

Only he himself knows what he's talking about: not just judging himself, but Clark, the morally flawless Superman of the Overworld.

Of course, he is mainly evaluating himself, and the most important thing is evaluating himself.

He has never judged his life so clearly and profoundly before. To be honest, the emotional fluctuations he is experiencing now are actually very weird and special, a bit like the legendary "retrospection of death" It had indeed happened to him, the unplanned death had indeed played a non-negligible role in his life, causing some kind of shock.

And his somewhat out-of-balance senses after being resurrected from the dead, and the violent emotional fluctuations in front of Connor, made his emotions unprecedentedly sharp and sensitive at this moment... Various reasons, various special circumstances All kinds of coincidences gathered together, making him blurt out the coldest words in his heart.

Superman is doing nothing, he knows it, and all he's doing is TV-length repetition.

The essence of a long-form TV series is that the story is always in a continuous cycle. In the rules of a long-form TV series, change is shameful. Only a continuous cycle can keep the audience chasing tirelessly.

You solve one problem, and then another comes up; you send a bad guy to jail, and then another bad guy comes along.

And when you think carefully about these problems and the essence of these bad guys, you will find that they are fundamentally the same, only the external manifestations are different.

The only way to change this situation, the only feasible, effective and fundamental solution to the problem, is to make changes from the rules, that is, from the legal level.

This brings up a new problem, if you want to achieve something in politics, then everything is quantifiable - wealth, dignity, life, everything in the world.

In the current big rules of the political circle, the interests of the minority must be subordinated to the interests of the majority, or the interests of the majority must be subordinated to the interests of the minority—in a capitalist country, the probability of the latter happening is greater than the former Much more, but even the former, isn't it a choice between "majority" and "minority"?

Everyone knows that Superman doesn't choose.

Then, if it is necessary to keep everyone’s interests from being harmed, it is necessary to overthrow the existing political rules and establish a new one. So now, we have come to the most dangerous topic:

become a dictator.

At this time, indeed, Superman will ensure that the interests of all are not harmed; at the same time, the interests of all will be harmed.

But the most important thing is that Karl did consider such an approach-yes, he had been taught that dictatorship did not mean sure failure.

However, the crux of the problem is that in a modern society where democracy and free thought are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if he really changes the current political system, people will really accept it calmly and as a matter of course, instead of forming groups and forming armies, and using their lives to resist him ?

And when he faces resistance, can he still insist on "not killing people"?

If he insists, the cost of resisting him will be so low that it can be completely ignored, and there will be endless rebels; but if he does not insist, then the dictatorship will deviate from his original intention of benefiting everyone.

But there is still room for redemption—sometimes Karl really hates his own intelligence—the idea that everyone is free and equal is only barely there after all.Incompletely realized for less than a hundred years, people's minds can be manipulated and changed.

If he is willing to spend another 100 years, he can re-convince people that "dictatorship is the best system".

This is not without precedent.

In a certain unexplainable country, more than ten years ago, women in this country could still show their faces in public and chat and laugh with the opposite sex; today, more than ten years later, if women in this country do not use black veils to cover their whole bodies, they will not be able to live at all. Possibly in public, let alone talking to the opposite sex... There are definitely people who feel fear and realize that something is wrong, but the power of large-scale, all-round brainwashing is irresistible. *

In another unspecified country, when a father violates a young biological daughter, as long as the daughter is over X (single digit) years old, then the father's behavior is completely legal. *

In modern society, it is difficult for people to imagine such things happening in the world.

But it is true.

It is very simple to create some kind of absurd situation. As long as there is enough energy, a dictatorship that is safe and does not arouse strong resistance from the people is by no means an illusion.

So yeah, when we get the whole situation out of the way, you see it's been so much for Carl to break some sort of...

So easy.

So tempting.

The most wonderful thing is that his original intention of doing so is absolutely perfect. It can be said that if he tries to be dictatorial, there is no element of selfish desire in this behavior. On the contrary, he is full of dedication.

After all, what would he want the earth for?

The universe is full of civilizations that are more developed and richer than the earth. If he wants a planet similar to the earth, there is no more accurate adjective than "no difficulty" to describe the truth.

Connor still raised his head and looked at Carl intently. This is actually a sentence suitable for interrupting. If Carl himself was listening to the monologue, he would definitely interrupt the other party politely and follow the other party's words Ask the right questions.

But Connor didn't.

Carl suspected that Connor didn't understand what he was talking about at all, the kind of lack of understanding that he really didn't "understand" - because it was hard to understand, Connor seemed so calm, he looked up at Carl, watching him very An ordinary father, waiting for his father to reveal more secrets to him.

What a cute, innocent, pure little face.

"Say something, baby." Carl smiled at Connor.

"Have you always thought that?" Connor asked.

Carl knew that something was wrong with his mood swings, and he wouldn't be so emotional normally.

He is the kind of person who is very good at managing emotions, because since he was a teenager, he knew that even a slight change in his emotions would have a very wide-ranging impact.

But he can't tell anyone about his mood changes. First, people who don't know his dual identity should be excluded from the conversation candidates; second, Bruce, Tony, and Diana, his three best friends, are not The right person to talk to.

Bruce is not the type who is good at comforting people, and telling him that his mental state is not stable is equivalent to asking him to write down another evidence that Superman may be out of control in the secret file; Tony absolutely can't understand Carl's complicated mood, this Brilliant, complicated and lovable little bastard who can't even handle his own emotional problems, let alone help Carl.

What about Diana?

Diana who was very close to his situation, gentle, calm, mature Diana.

No, Diana is not suitable enough, she never thinks she is a human being, she is a female warrior from Paradise Island, she is still a princess, she has never recognized the identity of "human being".

"Yes," Carl replied slowly, "I always thought so."

It's a pity he doesn't have anyone to pour his heart out to.With so many friends, he still had to overcome obstacles on his own in the end.

As for Lex...

Assuming his lover is not his enemy, this is a very appropriate candidate.

Lex has all the qualities that are enough to take on what he wants to talk about, and he can even give a sufficiently perfect solution or dispatch. The only problem is that it may be difficult for Lex not to use this weakness to attack Superman—whether Lex No matter how deep his love is, his love can't cover up his hatred.

Carl still has one person to tell about himself, Louise, Clark's lover, a smart female reporter, who understands the existence of the public and Superman at the same time.

But Lois loves Superman too much.

Carl also did not deny his appreciation for Louise, and he knew very well that if he chose Louise as the object of his heart, their feelings would easily exceed the scope of simple friendship.

After too much torment from Lex, Louise's devoted love—or, rather, downright obsession with her own self—is a temptation for Carl.

And it is absolutely impossible for him to start another relationship when it is not over, so if he chooses to confide himself to Louise, Louise may be fascinated by Superman in an illusion of being close to Superman, and Carl remained calm.

How is this different from playing with Luer?

When you realize that a woman likes you a lot (but not yet deeply in love), if you don't plan to fall in love with her, it is basic gentlemanly behavior to stay away from her.

So in the end, Carl had a lot of close friends, but couldn't find a single person to talk about himself.

"You don't...don't think so." Connor said immediately. When he spoke softly, he gave people the feeling of a little animal that was just a few months old, fluffy and pure, and people couldn't help but Wanting to smile, "You had a great time doing it, although you don't believe it..." He lost his voice, realizing that he had blocked his words.

But before he could feel annoyed, Carl was laughing.

Strangely, and unbelievably, Carl's education and the actual situation he saw told him that Superman was too gentle, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't shake this cold reality, let alone Let people change, he is like a real, ubiquitous ghost, people know him, people know that he may have some influence on reality, but he cannot change the overall situation.

However, among countless simple and quick methods, Superman chose the most complicated and impossible one without hesitation.

Superman chooses the hardest way, so it is impossible to change the world.

Superman is a failed revolutionary.

And yet, deep down, Karl believed—foolishly, absurdly, illogically, that...

Superman can still change something after all.

There is no way to change globally, and there is no way to change within one country.

But in any case, no matter how much the outside world ridicules and distrusts, the Metropolis has indeed changed a bit—this beautiful city, his home, the city that he has spent almost all his leisure time with meticulous care and love.

He will descend from the sky for any little thing that happens in this city. He rescues the kitten, helps the old man cross the road, and sends the lost little girl home. He really stops his footsteps for every little thing that happens in the metropolis. He devoted his greatest enthusiasm to this city, which was already in good order.

She didn't disappoint him.

The Mets didn't disappoint him either.

Carl can say with great pride that compared to people all over the world, compared to people from New York, Washington, Central City, and Star City, the citizens of the metropolis have a special "silly, white and sweet" temperament.

They sincerely believe that kindness is a quality for life, and they also believe that what is good is rewarded.

"Why would I do something I don't believe in?" Carl looked at Connor.

To the whole world, even superhuman strength is but a drop in the bucket.

But that by no means means that Superman's actions are pointless.

"Even though all of my sanity was telling me I was doomed," Carr said, "I wish I could change something."

After saying this, Carl let out a long sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

"..." Connor's eyes were filled with distrust, "I think you're just preaching to me."

"You have to expose the truth that your dear daddy has tried so hard to cover up, Xiaokang?"

"Oh." Connor said, raised his eyes, looked carefully at Carl's expression, and said suddenly, "I'll remember."

"Ok?"

"Although I didn't understand what you were saying," Connor's tone was very cautious, "but I will remember."

Carl stared at Connor's face, surprised by Connor's expression and attitude.For the first time in a long time, he didn't feel comfortable in front of Connor...he wasn't used to having his words taken so seriously by a child.

"Xiao Kang, what I just said is not important." Carl said, "Remember something more important."

"What's more important?"

"Every class you miss will be made up, every test paper you miss will be redone, and from today onwards, I will be responsible for everything you do." Carl replied, "Come on, baby , let's go home."
