The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 944 Believe in science and get development
No matter how European countries cover up, it will not change the fact that the European colonists committed numerous crimes in the colonies. In this world, there is actually no "new continent", and the word "discovery" cannot be used to describe it. Because, whether it is America, Africa or Australia, they all have aborigines.
The process of European colonists occupying these colonies is a history of massacres. After all, as outsiders, the colonists must seize the land from the natives if they want to get it. And the aborigines are certainly not reconciled to giving up the land. Then, for the sake of the land, the colonists could only kill the aborigines, and their hands were covered with the blood of the aborigines.
Therefore, colonization has always been a bloody process, without flowers, without the beauty described by poets, only killing and plundering. Later generations admired Columbus for discovering America, but they never thought that it was Columbus who brought death and extinction to Native Americans.
Marin had seen such a record in his previous life - in 1970, white Australians held a grand celebration in Sydney Harbor to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Captain Cook's "discovery" of Australia. At the same time, representatives of aboriginal people from all over Australia gathered at Cook's Landing to hold mourning activities. Their signs were written with the names of the lost tribes. "They celebrate theirs, and we're going to mourn the lives of so many people who died," they said.
All in all, colonial activities are an act of foreign colonists plundering and harming indigenous peoples. Even, it will cause the extinction of the indigenous people.
Of course, this is the view of later generations of civilized people. But the ass determines the head. Since Marin is a colonist, he must not be able to sympathize with the natives.
Moreover, the wise saying "If you fall behind, you will be beaten" truly shows the cruelest side of this world. The aborigines are sitting on fertile land, but they don't have strong force to protect their land and wealth. They can only watch the colonial robbers rob everything. Even if Marin doesn't do it, Britain and France will do it after a few years. And Spain and Portugal have already done it now. Rather than letting others benefit from it, it is better to let yourself do it.
As for the massacre and deportation of indigenous people, it is really hard to avoid. Colonial activities are not a treat for dinner, there is no tenderness, some are just life and death. Great mountains and rivers, who doesn't want it? The wages of avarice is death. Being weak but owning fertile land is an original sin in itself. In this barbaric era without the rule of law and civilization, big fists are the last word.
Judging from the experience of later generations, the massacre and expulsion of the natives, although cruel, is necessary. Don't you see, the former colonial countries that later became developed countries are all dominated by white people, and they all massacred and expelled the indigenous people. Such as the United States, such as Canada, such as Australia...
In contrast, South American countries, such as Peru and Bolivia, have many Indians, but they just cannot become developed countries. The most classic is South Africa, which was originally a powerful African country and a quasi-nuclear country. As a result, the old black native turned South Africa into a problematic country immediately. Although it is still leading in black Africa, it is the rich family background left by the white era.
In other words, except for China, Japan, India and other foreign countries with a high degree of civilization, the aboriginals of those originally primitive and backward countries, even in the 21st century, still seem so hopeless.
Marin is not a racist, but from the experience of two lifetimes, natives like Lao Hei are really helpless. You say that the old blacks in Africa cannot develop, and you can still blame the colonists for plundering and oppressing them. But hey, black people in the United States have the opportunity to receive the same higher education as white people. Influenced by the surrounding white people for hundreds of years, if you were a Chinese, you would have learned everything about the white people and adapted to it. But what about the old blacks in the United States? In the 21st century, it is still so 2. Apart from being good at sports, being able to rap and bragging, there are basically no advantages. It's rare to be an Austrian black who is half white and raised in a white family.
In addition, Marin's promotion of the preservation of traditional national culture to later generations,
There are different opinions. In Marin's view, advanced national culture, such as Chinese civilization, must of course be preserved. However, the kind of traditional culture that looks like a primitive or slave society is reserved for numbness! For example, in black African countries, there are still tribes in many countries, and the chiefs can still marry thousands of wives... Can this traditional culture be preserved? Obviously not! Backward culture and traditions should be abolished instead of cherished.
Just like India, the bad thing is Hinduism. It's the 21st century, and people are still divided into three, six, and nine grades. No wonder this country can't develop. Of course, as far as China is concerned, India retains Hindu traditions, which is welcome.
In addition, Marin has always believed that religion should not interfere with politics. Religion is ignorant of the people, and if a country wants to develop, it must get rid of the influence of religion, and regard science as faith instead of taking non-existent gods as faith.
The reason why China can develop rapidly in later generations is inseparable from the fact that a certain D broke all superstitions and the whole people believed in science. If the descendants of Huaxia still prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha, then they would definitely not be any better than Ah San.
If you don't believe in science, how can you still count on technological progress and social development?
Some people may say that Europe believes in God, so why is it not still developed? In fact, the development of European science and technology began to develop after the tolerant Protestantism defeated Catholicism. And this time period was exactly in the middle of the 16th century. If the great scientist Newton had been born more than a hundred years earlier, he would have been tied to a pillar by the church and burned to death. Strictly speaking, those Protestant countries, such as Britain and Germany, are countries that regard religion as a mascot. The premise of their rise is that the country gets rid of the control of the church. Although France is not a Protestant country, after the "Nantes Pardon", domestic religions have been tolerated, and religious persecution has stopped. And the devout Spain, which established the Inquisition, eventually became self-confident, and declined from a giant empire to a second- and third-rate country. So is Italy, after all, the Holy See is in Italy.
There are many reasons for Spain and Italy to fall behind, and the lack of coal is also one of the important reasons. However, in the 20th century, after coal was no longer the main energy source, the lack of coal could no longer be used as an excuse. Because, at that time, nuclear power came out. Moreover, everyone imports oil. As a southern European country, it is more convenient to import oil from the Middle East and North Africa.
In fact, Marin speculated that the development momentum of later generations of Huaxia was stronger than that of Europe and the United States, whether it was because Chinese people believed in science but not in God. Although Europeans and Americans also believe in science, they are not as thorough as China. Many Europeans and Americans still believe in God, and many players frankly cross their chests after scoring goals. As for Huaxia, the believers in God are mainly young people. As for the Han Chinese, most of them are atheists.
All in all, if you want to develop technology, you must believe in science, not gods. Believe in science, get development!
Of course, if you don't want to develop technology, it doesn't matter if you believe in gods. After all, you are free to believe whatever you want, as long as you don't believe in cults...
