The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 137 Punishing the Heart
Li Ang raised a finger, and said calmly like a gentle and generous lecturer in an elementary school class, "Let me ask: Why are mutants discriminated against? Who can tell me the answer?"

The audience was silent, and after a long while, the little naughty standing in the corner of the crowd timidly replied: "Because we are weird?"

Li Ang shook his head with a smile, "It's close, but not quite right."

Iceman raised his arms and said with a frown, "Because we are strong."

"The answer is correct!" Li Ang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The reason why mutants are discriminated against and even hostile is because you are inherently different from them.

This difference is extremely profound, transcending differences in skin color, religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, political views, geography, and culture.

But, after thinking about it, why can't you use this difference from ordinary people as your own weapon to protect your own rights? "

The mutants frowned. They were used to being discriminated against, despised, hostile, and hated. They were used to being bathed in hateful eyes. They never thought that they could turn the tide of public opinion in society.

Even Professor Charles, who has been promoting "understanding and peace", failed to achieve any results after spending more than half a century. Apart from leading people to fight against the fraternity every day, he did not improve the social treatment of mutants at all. Wait for society to persecute mutants.

Li Ang looked at the bewildered mutant, and said gently: "Let me put it another way, as residents of Bald Eagles, you should all know what Political Correctness is, right?"

The so-called PC was originally a judicial concept in the United States in the 19th century. However, with the passage of time, the PC family has become an overwhelmingly dominant language that matches public opinion or customs.

For example, in the United States, blacks cannot be directly called blacks, they must be called "African American residents", and gays cannot be called gays, they must be called "male homosexuals".

With the passage of time, the power of PC has become stronger and stronger, and the entire European and American society has been covered by the atmosphere of PC from top to bottom.

No discrimination against LGBT people, no discrimination against black people, no discrimination against animal protection groups, no discrimination against obese people, no discrimination against Mexicans, no discrimination against rural people, no discrimination against women, and no discrimination against low-income people.
These "prohibited matters" as social unspoken rules and basic morals have gradually evolved into weird PC status in European and American countries.
If a heinous criminal is black, any white police officer who does harm to him will be considered to discriminate against blacks.

If a European or American company refuses to hire a pregnant woman, no matter whether the pregnant woman has relevant working ability or not, the company will be considered as discriminating against women.

If a certain European and American senator is gay, no matter how corrupt the senator's private life is or how naive his political views are, any accusation against him will be considered homophobic.

Not only that, universities need to lower the admission scores for candidates of other skin colors to achieve "fairness", black characters must be added to Hollywood movies to avoid being accused of discrimination,
Even the stage version of "Harry Potter" required a black actress to play the role of Hermione.

Aunt J.K. Rowling, the author of the original book, also posted a post to praise this "non-discrimination" move, accusing those protesters of "racial discrimination."

In this atmosphere, no one can be alone.

Li Ang said with a smile: "Looking at it another way, the power of PCs is so powerful, but as a group of mutants who are socially different, why can't they take the initiative to accept this backward and decadent power and include themselves in the protection scope of PCs?"

Professor Charles frowned. He had a faint feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. After all, he was a disabled person, and he was also a member of the PC camp, so he couldn't refute it.

Li Angyouyou said: "The power of PC comes from public morality, and it aims to protect those 'vulnerable groups'. If we include mutants in the range of vulnerable groups that need to be protected, then the whole society will stand on the side of mutants."

"What should we do?" Magneto asked with a frown: "Mutants are born with enviable abilities, and they are a powerful group in themselves, and coupled with the demonization of those media that have continued for decades, public opinion Mutants are generally considered to be 'threats' and 'monsters'.

In this case, any behavior that favors mutants will be opposed, and it is too difficult to be included in the protection scope of PCs. "

"There is an old saying that there are always more solutions than difficulties." Li Ang laughed loudly: "The power of PCs seems to come from the grassroots, but it is well known that most of the middle and lower classes in the United States are pigs who have been raised. The real source of PCs Still from the house in Washington.

If we can find out the real information about the persecution of mutants in Washington, make them public, and completely discredit the top-level image, we will be able to set off an upsurge of sympathy for mutants among the American people from the bottom up, and thus remove mutants from the "powerful group" that needs to be hostile , into 'vulnerable groups' in need of protection. "

After the words were finished, many people in the X-Men were already shaken, and faintly believed in Li Ang's theory.

Professor Charles looked at these longing-looking subordinates, and felt boundless bitterness in his heart.

Li Ang's rhetoric is by no means comparable to Magneto's uneducated wild way. The theoretical support combined with hands-on practice easily persuaded the X-Men's minds and subtly replaced the weak Professor Charles. The concept of "peace and equality".

"Is this possible?" Cyclops closed his eyes and frowned and said, "The federal government has always been very strict about underground experiments. The media, let them help us spread the word."

"So you are still too young." Li Ang said with a smile: "The scope of transformation I set for the Gate of Truth is teenagers aged 8-18. In order to allow my children to continue to maintain superior genetics, those wall streets The capitalists will lick their faces and kneel at my feet, begging me to give their children the opportunity to genetically modify.

In this way, the media controlled by capital turned their backs.As long as we can get rid of the last obstacle in Washington and find out the real hammer to persecute mutants, the entire United States will stand on the side of mutants. "

Whether it's the X-Men or the Brotherhood mutants, they held their breath for a while. They have always been brainless, fighting and killing for extremely childish reasons. Where have they ever drank such a soup of fascination!
Professor Charles took a deep breath, and he finally realized that this ordinary Chinese youth in front of him might be a demon thousands of times more evil than Magneto.

No, it cannot be said to be a demon.Only the devil king can tell the bewitching rumors as if they were the truth, pointing directly at the heart.

Killing is nothing more than nodding your head, but Li Ang's flirtatious words are the real killing.

Laser, who was completely persuaded, took a step in front of him, passed the professor Charles who was like a teacher and father, and said to Li Ang in a deep voice: "I know that there is a person who may have information about the federal government's persecution of mutants, and he is William Stryker. General."
