Chapter 1323: A clever tongue
"Only those who show miracles according to the holy book are prophets, otherwise they are false prophets, so candidates must make decisions that match their claims." Steve Rogers opened the data board and retelled his emails with the emperor. At this moment, they were still fifteen minutes away from the nearest military base, from which they would take off to the capital. He must prepare his companions and understand possible enemies. "I must remind you not to believe what he said." He said to his companions. "He personally admitted to me that this is a skill of debate, a piece of words used to incite people's hearts. The purpose is to make me come to Latovigna and become a public opinion material, and it does not have practical guidance."
"You mean, is this cheating?" James Buchanan Barnes raised his eyebrows, "Why did you bring us to Latovigna?"
"It's not entirely a deception, Bucky." Steve Rogers frowned, as if thinking about how to explain it, "This is a sophistry, a shallow statement, to encourage me to come to Latovigna. He told me that he had to confuse some of the more important factors in causality and elevate the minor to the main. It was not without facts, but it was necessary to distinguish it for oneself, and to accept it all was no less than being bewitched. He was a charming person, and because of this we need to be particularly careful, he was more dangerous than Loki. But he was reliable because he would keep his promises."
"I don't mind listening, I can hear politicians' bullshit every year anyway." Sam Wilson shrugged, "and there is an elite smell to you, like the farts from the Ivy League professor of social sciences."
Although Latovigna provided them with political asylum, he did not thank Latovigna at all because he knew that this behavior was like Russian Piazza Snowden. In Steve Rogers, the emperor believed that the representative election system was a complete elite game, and that politicians could abandon all promises after they came to power, and even Sam Wilson had to admit that this was the fact. The emperor believed that fanatical vote politics was no different from idol worship. The only difference was that idol worship was changed regularly, and that it was not just a single individual but a certain political proposition. James Buchanan Barnes also nodded, expressing his willingness to listen to what kind of rhetoric would allow them to be here.
Steve Rogers confirmed that they were all warned and then continued to read.
"The candidates for vote politics are just the carrier of a certain political proposition. It is not the candidate who chooses political propositions, but the political propositions chooses candidates, just as God chose Abraham and Moses, whose political propositions are the promises to guide the elect (believers) to the promise of the promised land."
Sam Wilson exclaimed in a low voice, "It's a bit blasphemous, please continue."
"In order to gain more and more determined voters, candidates' claims will inevitably go to extremes, just as Protestantism is to Catholicism and Puritanism are gaining strong supporters by constantly demonstrating their purity and fundamentalism. In this process, politicians will be parasitic." Steve Rogers paused and his fingers slid to the next page. He said in a dry voice, "The most perfect supporters in the hearts of politicians are supporters who can board the Mayflower, and these people are the most pious and extreme believers.
This concept is derived. The white right in the Red State and the white left in the Blue State are actually the result of extremism in vote politics. It is the inevitable result of voters who cannot get rid of superstitious thinking and cannot look at things with dialecticism. The Republicans advocate family, religion, working class welfare, and the Democrats advocate diversity, inclusiveness, environmental protection, etc. No matter how correct their propositions are, they will inevitably go to extremes, because this is the only way for politicians to stand out from politicians with the same propositions."
"Something makes sense." Sam Wilson frowned, "Is there any?"
"What is even more sad is that no matter what political propositions the voters support or what leaders they support, it cannot change the fact that the new aristocratic class who controls a lot of wealth is the real power. The interests of party funders are maintained in the process of extremes, because everyone will forget that it is the people who really cause conflicts and social injustice, and instead thank these people for their rewarded jobs."
Steve Rogers noticed that Sam Wilson's past ideas were being challenged, as the soldier was sweating on his forehead, just like when he first saw the email. So he slowed down so that Sam Wilson would not be as confused as he had been before.
"These people are spread across towns, cities, countries to the world, and are composed of high-end clubs from country clubs to Washington. They can enter the White House at will, send lobbyists to change policies, recruit politicians to serve in businesses so that they can continue to use interpersonal relationships. They can use the means of production in their hands to make money that civilians spend thousands of years on their own, even if they never work. The water used by Southern California residents will never be able to irrigate the orchards of farmers in Northern California farmers.
Water is important. Clean water sources can only drink fruit trees that can create value for farmers. Civilians cannot directly provide value for farmers, and politicians supported by farmers do not need to guarantee the drinking water of Southern California civilians. What’s more sad is that votes are just tools to make voters think they are important. Different political parties have the same supporters. The extreme competition seen by voters is just a process of fighting for power and profit in the political party group in order to obtain more political donations."
After hearing this, Sam Wilson was completely silent.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He has never had contact with the emperor. Only then did he understand what kind of person Steve Rogers was facing. Such words are simply heretical remarks for the vote representative system, and also denies the American dream of transcending classes. Faced with such a person, it takes a very firm will to maintain his thoughts. James Buchanan Barnes took the data board and read it carefully. It has to be said that he believes that the emperor's generalization of this statement is somewhat in line with his taste.
"Don't be so serious. This is not a fact, but a sophistry, and not to mention that he still has many vicious words that he has not said!" Steve Rogers patted Sam on the shoulder, and the smell of gunfire smoke still lingered in their battle. The Emperor Latovian in his perception was a mean person, ruthless in his mouth, and extremely decisive in his actions. The reason why that guy survived until now was purely because no one could beat him. "Latovian is not a paradise. Although he did solve many problems, such as Romanian sewer children and human trafficking, it does not mean that he is a good person. Don't forget how many rich people he killed, and officials and business owners conquered Romania. I don't think he is the choice of the Romanians. I need your help, just like the Hydra Rebellion at that time. I will not abandon my moral concepts to cater to any regime."
"You mean when you punch me a few times in the face?"
Steve Rogers glanced at his friend complainingly.
"You know why I did that, Bucky, that's just to wake you up."
