Knights in the big world of American TV series

Things turned out so weird that no one expected it.

Iris swallowed and forgot to take pictures.

Although it is far away, a high-power camera can still capture something, but even if it is captured, it cannot pass the censorship. Although the American news media is indeed relatively free, many irritating photos cannot be

Published.

Not to mention the freedom of the press in the United States, the "freedom of speech" advertised in the United States is actually the freedom of capital to control speech expression and information dissemination. In the United States, the media's "freedom of speech" is not only subject to interference by government agencies and partisan forces based on political stance, but

It is also subject to the arbitrary control of private capital. In reality, as long as it is unfavorable

Speech based on partisan interests or monopoly capital interests will be strictly restricted. Some commentators vividly concluded that partisan politics and money politics are the "two big mountains" weighing on the American media. Most American media are controlled by private capital.

Then it becomes a political tool that serves private groups, capital interests, and wealth elites.

.On the one hand, when private capital controls the media, the media’s stance of safeguarding public interests often compromises with capital. Capital controls the media’s position selection, topic setting, reporting attitude, and narrative style. In this case,

The media does not serve the public interest, but serves private interests or group interests.

On the other hand, American democracy is also a democracy controlled by capital to a large extent. Private capital controls American politics through money, and then controls the American media. Therefore, capital can not only directly exert influence on the media, but also use its influence on American politics.

control, and then use government power more covertly to control the media.

So many things are actually controlled!

However, as long as these photos are taken back, there are always ways to do it, such as blurring or mosaic. They are still very valuable.

But Iris still didn't take the photo.

It’s so shocking!

In the past, she always thought that the plots of American TV series were just the imagination of the director, but she never expected that they could actually happen in reality!

"We...we...should we withdraw?"

Iris said a little scared.

I was really scared. It was so weird. The men had their throats slit one by one with expressions of enjoyment. Even if all the blood was drained, nothing changed... This scene had too much impact.

Barry wakes up instead...he needs to save people!

This is sincere. Barry is a typical adherent to the no-kill principle! According to ordinary people, these bastards are all bad guys, and they are extremely bad. Human traffickers are at the lowest level of morality everywhere! Killing them will only

Purify society!

But Barry doesn't think he has the right to deprive them of their lives. He doesn't think these people don't deserve to die, but it's just not up to him to decide!

Although Barry majors in medicine and does forensic work, he still recognizes one thing deep down, that is, order is more important than anything else.

When superheroes start executing prisoners, will the interests of the people be ensured, and will the substantive justice that people imagine come to pass?

The answer is never.

When Chaoying begins to execute prisoners, the best result of this so-called "substantial justice" is to become individual justice. But if you are not careful, it will become the beginning of all kinds of injustice.

The comic "Kingdom Come" has already taught this lesson very well. (Kingdom Come is a DC comic. The story uses Pastor McKay's travels through time and space following the ghost as a clue to tell the world decades in the future. This is

At that time, Superman lived in seclusion due to the death of his wife Lois Lane. The older generation of heroes

Most of them have retired. The new generation of superheroes are young and willful, and mortals are just victims of the battle between them and the so-called "super villains". Wonder Woman found Superman, who had been living in seclusion in Kansas for many years, and asked him to come back to stop the superhumans.

Melee. Under the leadership of Superman, the former comrades regrouped into one

However, without the identity of reporter Clark, Superman's divinity has overwhelmed humanity. In order to reestablish the order among superhumans, he adopted extremely tough methods. He forced everyone to make a choice and treated those who disobeyed.

Considered an enemy. He led the "Justice League" to establish a gulag in Kansas.

Forced transformation of those who disobeyed. At the same time, Superman's old enemy Lex Luthor summoned various villains to form the Human Liberation Front. They not only wanted superhumans to kill each other, but also did not want Superman's Justice League to grow bigger. Luthor

He even brainwashed and controlled Shazam and made him his servant. An absolute masterpiece!)

After Superman Maggot killed the Joker and the people swayed public opinion and expelled the Justice League headed by Superman, the superheroes represented by Maggot gradually became a unity of law enforcers and law makers. Such a unity will inevitably transcend

It has entered the category of "human beings transfer rights to obtain security". At this moment, human beings have essentially completely transitioned all "order responsibilities". In other words, the trump card of "exchanging rights for security" has been cleared.

What follows is self-explanatory.

"No-killism" does not mean not killing, it means not being able to kill. Superheroes have forcibly taken away the identity of law enforcers that belongs to the people. If they start to overstep the rules and become law enforcers, the essence of this behavior will be the same as "exploitation of people's rights."

It’s no different. The people who have been “exploited” for a long time will inevitably one day rebound and stand on the opposite side of superheroes.

Stories like this are common both in comics and in history.

Returning the right to trial to the people is a "reconciliation" between Batman as a superhero and the people. Returning the right to trial to the people is a "reconciliation" between Batman as a superhero and the people. This is a very "reconciling"

The accidental sexual behavior of "divinity". It does not happen in human life, it only appears in the story of God.

Because in reality, the real "returning power to the people" has been kidnapped by elites and populists.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So, let’s take off our colored glasses and look at Batman and Superman again. As far as they are concerned, they are neither populists nor elites.

They are symbols of absolute power, strong men of idealism, and gods in the hearts of the people. Such totems of faith reflect the people's expectations for him, who humbles himself into the dust.

Gods must not only "return power to the people" and take the initiative to "reconcile" with the people. They must also be willing to actively give up their rights as gods and actively "compromise" with the people. This is the reality of "human beings surrendering rights in exchange for security"

, turned around and turned into "God makes profits for the benefit of mankind." Look, it looks like Prometheus who stole the holy fire.

Haha, this simply forces everyone to sneer, laugh at others, and laugh at themselves: Human beings will use various excuses to avoid the redemption of Prometheus, and the only one who can save God is another god.

This is truly terrifying and proud servility!

So Batman, like Prometheus, constantly sells out his own interests, and implements and only implements "procedural justice" in an extremely "divine" way, in order to achieve a delicate balance between superheroes and humans.

.This balance is man’s “gift” to God, and it is also God’s “compromise” to man.

If you think the above is too complicated, you can read here directly. When Batman starts killing people, he becomes the unity of law maker and law enforcer. The delicate balance between "hero" and "people" will gradually change.

was broken, the worship of faith degenerated into the worship of power, and ideals gradually became disillusioned in the face of the world.

What follows is the collapse of the system that supports the back of the entire superhero. If Batman who loses his "divinity" will cause the back of the coin to rust, then Superman who is excessively "divine" will inevitably cause the entire coin to perish. God, high above

, nature can kill without restraint. But we, humble and proud, imagine to create a Prometheus-like god, omnipotent, and willing to be a child of mankind.

Bull. If this god "breaks free" from his shackles and begins to want to be a god in the "real sense", he will be called a "tyrannical dictatorship". In the world of Chaoying, Chaoying has withdrawn forcefully.

The people's law enforcement power (specifically refers to the process) is an inevitable result of the "weakness" of the people. Even if there is a decisive hero like the Punisher, his best behavior can only be "case-by-case justice."

In the real world, the people have the power to enforce laws and make laws.

The people have the ability to "sanction" criminals, but what needs to be considered is how to reasonably implement and quantify standards. In addition, the national conditions of each country are different, and the guidance of public opinion is different, and the results of "substantial justice" will also be different. But it will not deviate too much from this

"Justice" under racial groups.

This is something that superheroes cannot replace.

Killing criminals seems to purify society, but in fact it is destroying the basic rules of the entire society and depriving the people of their right to trial and law enforcement!

Although Barry is a civilian, he is still essentially a policeman. He knows the importance of law to society.

When a person becomes a law enforcer and judge, the danger is undoubtedly huge.

That means that the people's power has been deprived of unlimited power, and superheroes have completely evolved from humans to gods!

And this God is alive!

For things like gods, it is best to stay on the shrine obediently and not come to the human world. Although there are many religions in the real world, believe me, no religion wants the gods it worships to come to the world!

Because this thing like God represents the ultimate dictatorship!

For living people, if God really exists, it is actually a complete tyranny!

Therefore, every world to which the Pantheon belongs is a living hell.

Barry knew very well that this kind of thing couldn't be broken...at least he wouldn't break it himself. This was the rule he set for himself after he decided to become a superhero...Maybe Barry didn't think that much about it.

He simply felt that it was too scary for a person to have the power to deal with others at will.

He is not only a policeman and a judge, but also an executioner.

Those traffickers were indeed abominable, but what he had to do was hand them over to the police and let prosecutors and judges decide their fate.

Instead of judging based on his own thoughts.

In this regard, The Flash is absolutely against the Punisher. In fact, most superheroes dislike the Punisher, not because he is bloody, but because he replaces all the roles in the justice system.

He is destroying the foundation of the rule of law in society.

This is also the reason why Kai has such a good relationship with the Punisher but has never cleared the Punisher's reputation.

This is also the reason why Kai never thought of leaving the police profession.

Because he needs a legitimate reason to perform violence!

Rather than letting the entire social foundation collapse!

So Barry needs to save those people, and even if they die, it's not up to Barry to decide.

"Barry!"

Iris grabbed Barry who was about to leave. She didn't want Barry to go because the scene in front of her was too weird and terrifying. She was afraid that Barry was in danger.

At the same time, deep down in his heart, Iris is actually like most simple people. He feels that those scum will die if they die. There is no pity. Why should he take risks for these people?

"I must go!"

This time, Barry did not obey Iris as usual. Instead, he said firmly.

At this moment, Iris actually lost his mind.

Because she can't see the familiar shadow from the past, Barry seems to be an upright man!

It even overlaps with Joe's shadow to some extent.

Very MAN!

While Iris was distracted, Barry disappeared.

During the auction, the killing continued.

This is actually a sacrifice.

In fact, this kind of activity is very common in the Pantheon. Even in the ancient Greek era on earth, human sacrifice was very common. When the gods accepted sacrifices, it was not as simple as a group of people dancing to the gods!

In ancient times, sacrifices had already been formed out of awe of unknown supernatural powers. However, the formal appearance of sacrifices as a public activity on the public stage can be traced back to the era of Greek city-states. The formation of citizen groups and the birth of the public sphere

All provide specific and feasible realistic conditions for it. The origin of sacrifice cannot be explored for the time being. For now, scholars are generally divided into two schools: "gift theory" and "totem theory". Scholars who hold the gift theory believe that the original version of sacrifice

should be

In order to please the supernatural power, the early residents eventually evolved into the current state of offering sacrifices to gods. Scholars who hold totemism believe that all sacrifices evolved from totem worship. "Sacrifice is worship."

"The central link is an indispensable part of collective life at all levels in a family or a country." Based on this theory, scholars of "totem theory" believe that scholars of "gift theory" cannot fully explain the fanaticism of the ancient Greeks.

religious worship.

At the same time, the close relationship between worshipers and totems has also allowed this group of scholars to adhere to their theories. For example, worshipers eat sacrifices in the hope that they can assimilate with the totems on a deeper level. When this behavior becomes popular throughout the tribe,

, the collective of this tribe will be more united by the same belief. It is true that the act of sacrifice has its complexity. The inherent nature and social function of this act will change the status of virtuous people after they are assimilated by the totem.

.

There are also some scholars who believe that sacrifice is related to "violence" and "sacrament". Of course, we can see that no matter which view is taken, it is based on the connection between the sacrificer and the gods. Therefore, no matter whether the sacrifice is any of the above,

Scholars speculate that the possibility is greater, and the final conclusion is that sacrifices create contact and communication between the sacrificer and the gods.

Ancient Greek sacrifices are mainly divided into individual sacrifices and collective sacrifices. Individual sacrifices are often more of life sacrifices, a kind of prayer and yearning for a better life. Group sacrifices, based on the war-prone social environment of ancient Greece, are generally

War sacrifices occupy a major part of it.

When faced with different sacrificial occasions and different sacrificial objects, the methods of sacrificial offerings and the sacrifices chosen by the sacrificial rituals will change.

When praying for the blessings of these gods, the ancient Greeks needed to establish contact with the gods through sacrifices. On land, the sacrifices were mostly related to daily life items; if at sea, the sacrifices were mostly related to ships. In war sacrifices

Among them, the most important sacrifices include animal sacrifices, weapon sacrifices and even human sacrifices.

Human sacrifice is the most cruel of all war sacrifices, and it is also considered to be the highest standard! Human sacrifice is generally divided into two categories, one is voluntary sacrifice, and the other is forced sacrifice. People who voluntarily sacrifice often

Have a high degree of city-state awareness, regard themselves as part of the city-state, and are willing to sacrifice for the victory of the city-state.

The groups forced to sacrifice are often prisoners of war or slaves. These people do not have the right to choose. In the eyes of the victorious party or the citizens with rights, they are appendages of the city-state. They become victims of war and sacrifice to the gods for the city-state.

, is the best belonging for prisoners of war and the highest honor for slaves.

Under the Pantheon system, human sacrifice is considered to be the sacrifice that most attracts the attention of the gods, and many of these sacrifices can even allow people to obtain the supernatural powers of the gods!
