Chapter 261 Political Correctness in Demacia

Demacia's anti-magic policy is essentially the same as Noxus' expansion policy. They are just tools for the ruling class to ease conflicts and maintain stability.

After Levi made this clear, Seraphine could understand why Demacia needed to implement the ban on magic policy for hundreds of years.

But there's still one thing she can't understand:

"But, Levi"

"Since the anti-magic policy is only a ruling tool for Demacia's powerful aristocrats, why are these powerful nobles themselves passively restrained by this anti-magic policy?"

Tools of rule are naturally used by the ruling class to rule the ruled classes.

As the ruling class, Demacian nobles should theoretically be completely transcendent of this set of ruling tools.

But reality is not entirely like this.

"Just like the secret mission sent by Demacia to Zaun this time - the leading ambassador is the kingdom's top noble, Lady Ogesha from the Crownguard family."

"She should be considered a ruler in the ruling class, but because of the ban on demons, she had to carefully discuss it with others for a long time before she could finally make up her mind."

"Why is this?"

Although they had already talked a lot, Seraphine was still interested in chatting and had no intention of stopping to rest.

She broke away from Li Wei's overheated embrace with some agitation, and then didn't care about the hem of her dress that was too short, so she curled up her fair and slender legs in an unladylike way, and sat down cross-legged in front of Li Wei in a relaxed manner.

Down.

She waited for Levi's answer with expectant eyes.

Why does even a noble like Ogesha, who can theoretically transcend the policy of banning demons, talk about demonic lust like this?

And Levi's answer was: "Because the anti-magic policy has continued to develop in Demacia for hundreds of years, it has long been more than just a realistic tool of governance - it is both a realistic tool of governance and a kind of transcendence.

The main theme of reality is the absolute political correctness that has been formed in the Kingdom of Demacia for hundreds of years."

To use an inappropriate analogy, the idea of ​​banning demons is actually the "state religion" of Demacia and the "Four Books and Five Classics" of Demacia.

Priests and priests can blaspheme in private, and gentry and scholars can also do many obscene things in private that can make saints angry. Anyway, God is not the goddess Jana, and he will not really come down to earth to talk to you.

But in public, on the surface, priests should abide by canon rules, and Confucians should act according to the moral principles in the scriptures.

If you openly violate the "scripture", you are severing yourself from the vested interest groups united by this "scripture", and blatantly destroying the legal order in which they protect their vested interests.

"A vested interest group?" Seraphine tilted her head: "But aren't those Demacia nobles themselves a vested interest group?"

She still didn't quite understand. How could these noble lords ban demons and control themselves?

"Haha." Levi smiled: "Seraphine, you still made the mistake of personifying the group."

"The Demacian nobles are not one person, but a group of people."

"When there are more people in a group, factions will form. As a result, there will be many small groups within the large group. When the small groups grow, they may in turn sideline the large group. Their interests are not completely consistent."

"For example, Noxus."

Levi took Noxus, which he had analyzed before and which Seraphine was familiar with, as an example.

"Although Noxus has a certain need for external expansion, don't you think that even if there are domestic conflicts that need to be transferred, Noxus' expansion policy in recent years is too radical?"

"The whole country was mobilized and fought on four fronts. The war dragged on for a long time without any success. Not only did the conflicts fail to be transferred externally, but they also rapidly intensified and expanded internally."

"Don't the Noxians know that they can no longer fight?"

In fact, almost everyone in Noxus knew this, including the nobles in the court. But they just refused to cease the war.

"Why?"

Most people might say that this is because Emperor Darkwill is crazy.

But Levi and Seraphine both know that Darkville is basically a puppet of the Black Rose and the aristocratic group. Whether he is crazy or not actually has little impact. The real decisions are made by the powerful aristocrats.

So why did these old nobles refuse to cease the war? Obviously the war did not bring any benefit to Noxus at all, but instead plunged the empire into a quagmire.

"Because these old aristocrats have split into a huge interest group within the imperial aristocracy during many years of foreign wars - that is, the military-industrial complex of Noxus."

"Although the wars in recent years have not benefited the empire, they have brought huge benefits to the empire's military-industrial complex."

"These old aristocrats are making a lot of money from military purchase orders, and they are confident in their strength and feel that they can suppress all dissatisfied opposition forces in the country. Of course, they hope that the war will last as long as possible and let them earn as much as possible.

"

"Even if the mad emperor really wakes up and orders a truce, they would probably dare to let Darkville take a ride in a convertible."

"As a result, under the control of the increasingly expanding military-industrial complex, the policy of external expansion has increasingly become the mainstream trend of thought in the Noxus Empire, and has become an absolutely unquestionable political correctness."

Levi was talking about Noxus, but he was also talking about Demacia.

"Violating the anti-magic policy in Demacia is the same as openly opposing the war in the Noxus Empire. Even if you are a noble noble, you cannot openly challenge the political correctness of the empire like this-"

"Because what you have offended is the entire military-industrial complex of Noxus, a large group of vested interests."

"That's it." Seraphine seemed to understand.

Because Noxus's policy is external expansion, a huge vested interest group has been formed in the years of external expansion wars, a military-industrial complex controlled by the old aristocracy.

As the power of the military-industrial complex continues to expand, it in turn kidnaps Noxus's people both inside and outside the court, making the empire's expansion policy even more extreme and unquestionable.

What about Demacia?

"Demacia's policy is to ban demons from within." Seraphine tried to analyze it using Levi's thinking:

Because Demacia's policy is to ban demons internally, a huge vested interest group has been formed in the policy environment of banning internal demons for many years——

"The Demon Searcher Corps." Levi said this answer.

“As long as a political unit exists for a long time, interest groups will inevitably form around it;”

"As long as an interest group exists for a long time, it will inevitably pursue the expansion of its own power and strive for more benefits for the group."

The military-industrial complex of Noxus is like this, and the Demon Seeker Corps of Demacia is like this.

That’s why Noxus’s desire for expansion continues to expand as if it’s been shot to death;

That’s why Demacia’s ban on demons has become more stringent as time goes by;

Therefore, political correctness in any form or on any subject, as long as it is not restrained by a stronger force, will eventually become irreversibly amplified and extreme like LGBT that has gradually evolved into lgbtqiapkdx.

"At the beginning, the Demon Searcher Corps was only responsible for arresting evil mages who had committed crimes."

"Later on, even mages who have not committed any crime will need to be expelled from the Kingdom of Demacia."

"Later on, even underage children and demon-poor people who pose no threat, as long as they have magic power, the Demon Searcher Corps has the power to arrest them."

"More and later, mages were even completely deprived of their human rights. Demon hunters had the power to break into any house in Demacia and search for anyone they suspected of being a demon-contaminated person."

"In this way, this ban on demons has been implemented for hundreds of years, and the Demon Seeker Corps has also existed for hundreds of years. Their power and influence have expanded to the present day."

Until now, even the nobles of Demacia no longer dare to openly violate the policy of banning magic. If a mage is born in a big noble family, they have to be careful to hide it. If a mage is born in a small noble family, then the magic searcher will

It would be even less polite.

The Demon Searcher Corps has transformed from a humble special law enforcement department at the beginning into an unprecedentedly powerful independent violent agency that combines the characteristics of a military unit, a police unit, and a special agent unit.

"With such a giant in the country, if I were Jarvan III, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep well at night." Levi showed a smile as if he was waiting for a meal.

"If this old king cannot satisfy the Demon Seeker Corps' growing desire for power, he may one day end up similar to Darkwill."

"Even worse:"

"For example, convertibles, shotguns, and 'coincidentally' encountering a mage riot, inexplicably dying in a heavily guarded palace, etc."

Levi predicted so sensationally.

Seraphine nodded her head again and again, fascinated.

Levi clearly explained the social background of Demacia and analyzed the internal contradictions of Demacia. In other words, he clearly explained the what and why behind the problems, helping those who came after us to understand the reality and pointed out the direction.

Seraphine didn't understand before.

But now she certainly knows how important a clear and correct direction is to those who desire change.

"Li Wei, you should write all these analyzes of yours into articles."

"Just like you wrote "Why Noxus Fights" and "Who Can Save Noxus" for Noxus before, write these words down and print them for those Demacians who are eager for change.

!”

Seraphine jumped up on the bed excitedly.

She raised her white and tender bare feet and stepped over Li Wei who was already lying down unceremoniously, as if she couldn't wait to get out of bed to find pen and paper to help him record his latest work.

"Okay, okay." Levi quickly grasped Seraphine's slender ankle before she had time to pull away, preventing the girl from jumping out of bed in a hurry: "What you said makes sense, Seraphine.

Ni.”

"Nothing"

Levi looked out the window at the deep night and turned off the power, leaving only a night light that could illuminate the bed.

"It's getting late."
