[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

For Scarlett, it's an incomprehensible world.Obviously they are twins, but everything her sister Margot said made her feel as if she had entered an illusory world. What made her feel even more uncomfortable was that her sister Suellen, whom she had always looked down upon, could understand what Margot said.

"Margo, you mean that the United States is under British control?"

"This is ridiculous! America is an independent country."

"It's true in name, but the term country doesn't have its own thinking. It's just a collective concept. Even if it does, it's just group thinking, collective thinking. This kind of thing is always full of compromises and exchange of interests. Also, as the basic unit of groupthink, those MPs can be bought."

Before joining the Freemasonry, George felt that the Freemasonry was very mysterious.After being introduced by Mr. John Wilkes to join the Freemasonry, George discovered that there seemed to be no mystery in the Freemasonry. Everything in it was so familiar, familiar behaviors, familiar exchange of interests, All kinds of familiar social rhetoric, nothing new at all.

As a member of the Southern Gentlemen, George follows the Southern tradition and is more tolerant of women, but he is not a Southern gentleman in the traditional sense.In the eyes of most southern gentlemen, women are ignorant little things attached to their existence, but in George's eyes, he wants his wife to be intelligent, decisive, and independent-minded Yes, George doesn't mind showing support for his wife at any time, as long as she's right or has merit.

Margot smiled and said: "Masonry may have many unsatisfactory places, but I believe that every core member of Freemasonry hopes that the United States can be better. This is the purpose and significance of Freemasonry, not Is it dear?"

History is so similar, and things are so similar.

Just like charity, in another time and space, the American charity system 150 years later is so perfect and so developed,

There are still many people who regard charity as a means of making money, and this kind of thing is represented by the circle of Hollywood.

But it is such a hypocritical charity that still helps many people.Because the essence of charity is mutual help between people, even if there are huge scandals such as corruption and bribery hidden, charity still operates on the love of people.

The same is true for Freemasonry. No matter how many power struggles there are, and no matter how much interest exchange there is, Freemasonry has been for the strong existence of the United States from the very beginning.

It itself is a product of light and dust, with its bright side and its dark side.

"Of course, without a doubt."

"But America is an independent country!"

Scarlett said loudly, and even Melanie expressed her firm look on Scarlett's side.

Margot didn't speak, Suellen looked at Margot, and then said: "What's the matter? Aren't there many countries in the Far East that are independent? India, for example, has a longer history than Britain, and isn't it regarded as a colony by Britain? ? An independent country? This word is just a name, what really matters is strength, something else."

Suellen likes to fight against Scarlett. This is a bad habit she has developed over the years. Not to mention, Margot has told her about things in foreign countries and even the Far East. Suellen feels that in this regard, I have more say than Scarlett.

Suellen said: "Attack a country or a piece of land, destroy the culture and traditions there, and then tell people who don't know that it is a barbaric land, a barbarian territory. After getting the support of public opinion, They can sell the people there as barbarians. This kind of thing, whether it is Britain or Spain and Portugal, is not clean. Of course, the United States is also the same. This used to be the Inca dynasty of the Indians! How did the Inca king Dead, who doesn't know?"

Gerald couldn't help shouting angrily: "Suellen!"

Gerald could tolerate Scarlett's ignorance, because most of the women in this era were like this. At most, they went to girls' schools and only learned things like embroidery and language and painting. Men learned history and politics. .

Even if what Suellen said was true, it would seem a little shocking for such words to come out of a man's mouth, not to mention that Suellen was just a woman!

She said it too outrageously.

Gerald not only stopped Suellen, but also got angry with Margot: "You taught your sister what a trick!"

"Of course it's a reflection of the real history, or a clue." Margot was holding the milk, and said to her father with an indescribable expression: "Aren't these what Britain did to Ireland? Dad, aren't these you The misery of Ireland, so often told to us?"

Gerald was speechless for words.

Yes, he is an Irishman, and he is well aware of the British persecution of Ireland.

Margo said indifferently: "The methods used by the established countries of the United Kingdom to the whole world are just those. The difference is that some places succeeded, some places failed, and some places succeeded partly and partly failed. That's it. That's all. Although the United States is a new country, although it has won the qualification of an independent country in the international arena, it is only because everyone is white and believes in religion. If we are not white, or if we do not believe in God or God, Heh..." Realizing that she was out of line, Margot could only change her words, saying: "The wheel of the world has begun to change, starting from the United States, the word colony, including the forms of politics, military affairs, and interests it represents, All will be launched on the stage of history. This is beyond doubt. But from the current point of view, the United States only has political and military independence, and is not economically independent."

"how is this possible?!"

Among the men present, Gerald and Charles couldn't help whispering and chatting, Ashley also frowned, bowed his head, and remained silent. As for George, he nodded to his wife approvingly.

Yes, George agrees with this point of view.The Freemasonry brought him a lot of information, which also proved this point.

Scarlett couldn't believe this the most, she angrily said to her sister: "Margo, you need evidence!"

Marge smiled and replied: "Then do you know who owns the current dollar? I can tell you that the current dollar is not in the hands of the federal government, what's more, the current dollar on the market , two-thirds of them are counterfeit banknotes!"
