Chapter 92, the truth of hell

What the hell is this? Don’t Americans commit too many murders and arson? How come I don’t usually hear them repenting of their bad deeds?

Suddenly being hit by Andy, Iger felt that his mind couldn't turn around.

Egger couldn't understand what was wrong with his thinking because he was not a true American.

In America, the sanctity of private territory and private property is ingrained in their bones.

Note that the word "sacred" means that this attribute is above all laws, is a power given by God, and is supreme.

The earliest origin of the inviolability of private territory and private property comes from Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The British bourgeoisie, which had just come to power and was getting rich rapidly at that time, in order to protect their over-expanded wealth from prying eyes, property rights were regarded by the bourgeoisie as natural human rights and were sacred and inviolable.

They formulated a series of laws, and then continued to use the media to brainwash the common people: Your poverty is your poverty, my money is my money, and you can't touch a penny of my money even if you die of poverty.

During the development of America, a group of bandits came here. Everyone discovered that everything here could be robbed. As long as they got it, it was theirs, including but not limited to gold and silver treasures, mines, forests, pastures, cattle and sheep.

In order to prevent involution (that is, internal strife), this group of robbers placed special emphasis on the inviolability of private property.

You have just arrived, penniless, and have a strong desire to rob, but you cannot rob your predecessors who have made a fortune before. You have to rob other people (Native Americans) who are not protected by the banditry regulations.

By the time these penniless robbers had robbed a lot of money, they had also become active advocates for the sanctity of private property.

When countless groups of robbers supported this ordinance, the sanctity of private property was like a spiritual brand, nailed into the minds of their descendants.

Along with the sanctity of private property comes the unlimited right of defense.

Regarding the right of unlimited defense, America has many laws, the more famous of which are "never give in" and "castle jurisprudence."

These two laws stipulate that when private property is violated, the owner can use the "unlimited right of self-defense."

This "unlimited" literally means that you can use as much force as you have without having to match the force of the invader. There is no problem of over-defense.

In Egg's mind, it is extremely unreasonable for you to occupy so many supplies that you cannot use yourself.

I had the intention to negotiate peacefully with you, but you vetoed it relentlessly and without mercy.

Well, since I have more powerful force than you, I can use force to coerce you into peace talks.

Powerful force is not used to kill you, but to force you to hand over absolutely excess supplies. This is a process to achieve fairness.

It is fair to rob a few people under the pretext of "for the many people", but does it violate justice and morality?

Regarding this point, Iger has always scorned the bullshit logic of the "train paradox".

With limited choices, finding ways to let more people live is justice.

Don't bullshit me about other things. Under extremely limited conditions, if you insist that "one person's life is also life", then I can only answer "it's better to cry in one family than to cry in the street."

Of course, according to Iger's idea, it does not mean that minorities have no right to live and must die. For example, the boss named Walton deserves to be hung from the street light.

Within a reasonable range, Iger will definitely find ways to ensure Walton's survival, leave him with sufficient necessary supplies, and even provide follow-up support for Walton.

Later, Walton loved the warehouse and closed the warehouse. It would be nothing to me if he died in it.

But after Iger supplemented this idea with everyone, all three people shook their heads like rattles.

In the eyes of Andy's three authentic American natives, Egger's behavior is equivalent to using force to drive a king out of his castle. It is an intolerable "injustice" and a pure gangster mentality.

In the understanding of Andy and others, this kind of behavior is worse than killing a person.

This is not wrong. In America, money is indeed more important than life. This is generally recognized.

People who are unable to understand this point cannot understand many confusing things about America, but if you can think about it at this point, you will find that their logic is very clear.

Property rights are supreme and are greater than all rights, including the right to life.

I×, what the hell is this!

After Iger listened to Andy patiently educate this "little brother" on the correct outlook on life, he wanted to use swear words directly, but Iger forcibly held back.

Egg persuaded himself to look at the matter calmly, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Someone used to talk about whores, and Egg always thought that the virgins in Northern Europe were almost invincible, but it turned out that America was the king of whores.

Throughout the entire history of mankind on this planet, America has been one of the most bellicose countries.

America has gone through more than 240 years since its founding, and there has been only 16 years without war.

It exterminated more than one indigenous civilization in North America, then continued to wage wars with foreign countries, established nearly 400 military bases all over the world, and even when its national power declined, it did not forget to drop bombs on the roofs of other people's houses.

With this virtue, you suddenly gave me a set of three-view education on "private property is sacred and inviolable". Iger felt that he was schizophrenic or Andy was schizophrenic.

The reason why Iger endured it again was because he realized that this was an issue involving a conflict of three views. This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly in a few words, so he endured it and put aside the controversy and focused on the present.

Because meaningless quarrels will only destroy the hard-earned trust and collaboration between team members.

At the same time, Iger personally experienced the famous double standard of Americans.

The root of their double standards is that treating "self" and treating "the enemy" are completely different concepts.

When Americans make enemies, the first thing they do is to expel the enemy from "our" circle, and then expel the enemy from "humanity."

The rest is simple. Use various weapons to target the vital points. Anyway, this guy is no longer a "human" and will not have any psychological burden.

In this common routine, Walton Morgan, who owns the entire building, obviously cannot be expelled with just a few words from a kid like Iger.

It was also about safeguarding the rights of "people". Egger's care for Caitlin was understood by everyone as being somewhat correct. They completely failed to understand Egger's understanding of "no one left behind" towards the disadvantaged.

Iger did not continue to argue with everyone on this topic. There is still a lot of work to be done. Let's hurry up and work first, and talk about these three views slowly when we are free.

In Plan Egg, the warehouse must be captured by any means necessary.

If you are willing to cooperate, we absolutely welcome it.

If you don't want to cooperate, we can "help" you cooperate in many ways.

One cannot be too rigid and dogmatic.

Ige is a fan of "letting learn". Although he does not have the means and abilities of Zhang Mazi, he really wants to learn how Zhang Mazi does things.
