LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 261 Demacia's Political Correctness

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.

Li Wei made this point clear, and Seraphine can understand why Demacia needs to implement the anti-magic policy for hundreds of years.

But she still can't understand one thing:
"But, Levi"

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

The ruling tool is naturally used by the ruling class to rule the ruled class.

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

But the reality is not entirely like this.

"It's like the secret mission sent by Demacia to Zaun this time - the leading ambassador is the kingdom's top nobleman, Lady Augesa from the Crown Guard family."

"She should be regarded as a ruler in the ruling class, but because of the anti-magic policy, she has to carefully discuss with people for a long time before she can finally make up her mind."

"what about this?"

Although they had already chatted a lot, Seraphine still chatted unabated and did not intend to stop for a rest.

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

She waited for Li Wei's answer with expectant eyes.

Why would even a nobleman like Augesa, who could theoretically surpass the anti-magic policy, talk about the demons like this?

And Li Wei's answer is: "Because the anti-magic policy has continued to develop in Demacia for hundreds of years, it has long been not only a realistic ruling tool - it is not only a realistic ruling tool, but also a detachment. The main theme based on reality is the absolute political correctness that the Kingdom of Demacia has formed over hundreds of years."

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

Your priests and priests can blaspheme in private, and gentlemen and scholars can also do many dirty things in private that can make a saint alive.Anyway, God is not the Goddess Janna, so the old man won't really come down to talk to you.

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

If you openly violate the "scriptures", you are severing yourself from the vested interest groups gathered by the "scriptures", and you are blatantly undermining the legal order for them to maintain vested interests.

"Vested interest groups?" Seraphine tilted her head: "But aren't those Demacian nobles themselves this vested interest groups?"

She still doesn't understand.Why do these noble lords restrain the magic and restrain themselves, and control themselves?
"Haha." Levi smiled: "Salafini, you still made the mistake of personifying the group."

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

"When there are too many people in a group, there will be factions. As a result, there will be many small groups in the large group. After the small group grows, it may in turn make up the large group. Their interests are not completely consistent."

"For example, Noxus."

Li Wei took Noxus, which he had analyzed before and which Serafini was familiar with, as an example.

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

"The whole country was mobilized, fighting on four fronts, and the war was protracted for a long time without any achievements. Not only did the contradictions fail to be transferred externally, but they rapidly intensified and expanded internally."

"Don't the Noxians know that they can't fight anymore?"

In fact, almost all Noxus people know this, including the powerful nobles in the court.But they just wouldn't stop fighting.

"why?"

Ordinary people might say that this is because Emperor Darkville is crazy.

But both Li Wei and Seraphine knew that Darkville was simply a puppet of Black Rose and the noble group, and whether he was crazy or not had little effect.It is the nobles who really make the decisions.

Then why do these old nobles refuse to cease fighting?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 aristocrats during the 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 nobles rely on military purchase orders to eat a lot of food, and they are confident in their strength. They 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, so that they can earn as much as possible. "

"Even if the mad emperor really came to his senses and ordered a truce, they would dare to let Darkville take a ride in a convertible."

"So under the control of the ever-expanding military-industrial complex, the policy of foreign expansion has increasingly become the mainstream trend of thought of the Noxus Empire, and it has become absolutely unquestionable political correctness."

Levi was talking about Noxus, but he was actually 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 powerful nobleman, you can't openly challenge the political correctness of the empire like this—"

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

"I see." Seraphine seemed to understand.

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

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

What about Demacia?

"Demacia's policy is to ban magic internally." Serafini tried to analyze it in Levi's way of thinking:
Because Demacia's policy is to ban magic at home, a huge vested interest group has formed in the policy environment of banning magic at home for many years——

"The Demon Seeker Corps." Li Wei said the answer.

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

"And as long as an interest group exists for a long time, it will inevitably seek to expand its own power and strive for more interests for the group."

As it is with the military-industrial complex of Noxus, so it is with the mageseekers of Demacia.

That's why Noxus' desire to expand continues to swell like chicken blood;

That's why Demacia's anti-magic policy will become more stringent as time goes by;
Therefore, political correctness in any form and on any subject, as long as there is no more powerful force to restrain it, it will eventually expand and become irreversible, just like the LGBT that has gradually evolved into lgbtqiapkdx.

"In the beginning, the mageseekers were only responsible for apprehending evil mages who had committed crimes."

"Later, even mages who have never committed a crime will need to be expelled from the Kingdom of Demacia."

"Later, even underage children and poor demons who are not a threat, as long as they have magic power, the Demon Seeker Corps has the power to arrest them."

"After that, mages were even completely deprived of their human rights. Demon seekers have the right to break into any house in Demacia and hunt down anyone they suspect is a demon."

"In this way, this anti-magic policy has been implemented for hundreds of years, and the Demon Seeker Corps has also existed for hundreds of years, and their power and influence have expanded all the way to the present."

Up to now, even the nobles of Demacia dare not violate the anti-magic policy on the face of it.When there are mages in the families of the great nobles, they have to be carefully hidden.If there is a mage in the family of a small nobleman, the magic seeker will be even more rude.

The Demon Seeker Corps has changed from an unremarkable special law enforcement department at the beginning to an unprecedentedly powerful independent violent organization that combines the characteristics of a military unit, a police unit, and a secret service unit.

"There is such a behemoth in the country. If I were Jarvan III, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep well at night." Li Wei smiled as he waited for a meal.

"If the old king can't satisfy the growing desire for power of the Demon Seeker Corps, then he may end up with an ending similar to Darkwill's one day."

"Even worse:"

"For example, convertible cars, shotguns, and 'coincidentally' encountered a mage riot, and died inexplicably in a heavily guarded palace."

Levy so luridly predicted.

Seraphine nodded repeatedly, fascinated.

Li Wei clarified the social background of Demacia and analyzed the internal contradictions of Demacia, that is to say, he clarified the what and why behind the problem, helping latecomers to recognize the reality and point out the direction.

Seraphine didn't understand it 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 your analyzes into articles."

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

Seraphine jumped up on the bed excitedly.

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

"Okay, okay." Li Wei grasped Seraphine's slender ankle quickly with his eyes and hands, so that the girl didn't jump out of bed anxiously: "You are right, Seraphine Ni."

"However"

Looking at the deep night outside the window, Li Wei Yu Feng turned off the power, leaving only a night light that can illuminate the bed.

"It's not too early."

"Write the article tomorrow."
