Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 333 Winning Ma

Shi Fei thought for a moment and said, "Once you accept this strange setting, you will find that you can never go back to your original way of thinking."

That's right. Once we look at Goff City from the perspective of the caste system, many problems become much more reasonable and easier to understand.

After all, Goff City is not a "people-oriented" country. Or rather, it is indeed a "people-oriented" country.

It’s just that except for high castes like Brahmins and Kshatriyas, everyone else is not really considered human.

Religious state, caste system, and the world of righteousness, these seemingly unrelated concepts are intertwined in Goff City, forming the magical background of this city.

Everything here is shrouded in a strange logic, like an elaborately woven dream, both absurd and real.

"Humans are social animals and need a 'winning' mentality to prove that they are right, to stay motivated and to make themselves more confident."

Li Zhao continued the previous topic: "If a person is always hit, PUA, and always fails, he will naturally feel depressed and lose the motivation to do anything. Is that right, brother?"

Shi Fei nodded.

"The people of Goff City have built a so-called 'righteous world' that divides civilization into several levels. Because they are the most advanced civilization, they can naturally despise your country and civilization."

Li Zhao said, "In this way, they can always maintain the mentality of 'winning' between the superior and the inferior. And those civilizations belonging to the 'righteous world' will become their inferiors."

“‘I may not be able to do it, but my older brother can.’ ‘If my older brother wins, I win, and you lose.’ In this way, they get the feeling of ‘winning.’”

Shi Fei couldn't help but sneer and said, "These so-called advanced civilizations have only plundered global assets and taken the lead with the help of the Industrial Revolution. How can they be considered advanced? They haven't even left the solar system!"

Li Zhao shook his head and sighed, "After all, there are only a few people who look at things dialectically like you. Don't forget, most countries are religious. They tend to be more idealistic, or even egoistic."

"Since we were young, we have always wanted to win, so we have to compare with each other, look at performance, look at results, and use facts to get the feeling of 'winning'. But they only need to say that the righteous world has won for hundreds of years, I am a part of the righteous world, so I won. Comparative data is meaningless to them."

“Even at the advanced level, it becomes ‘because I won, I can always win.’ ‘I won once, so I can win twice, win three times.’ This ‘winning is numb’ mentality can be seen everywhere in Goff City.”

"Especially the lower class!" Li Zhao emphasized.

Shi Fei was surprised and asked, "Especially the bottom level?"

In Shi Fei's opinion, the lower class is already miserable, so why do they still feel that they have won?

This is not logical.

Li Zhao smiled drunkenly and asked, "Do you know how rednecks get their spiritual pleasure?"

He saw Shi Fei shaking his head and continued, "They worked hard all day and were as tired as dogs, but in the bar, they felt a great sense of pleasure by flirting with the Spanish-speaking waitress from South America who had smuggled in."

"Even a life like mine is an unattainable expectation for someone like you."

Shi Fei understood instantly. The rednecks maintained their superiority by oppressing the illegal workers and runners to satisfy their illusion that they were also "superior".

Li Zhao continued, "If it's a white woman, even if she has fallen to the point of standing on the street, she will feel great when she sees Latino women selling for cheaper." "...Essentially, it's oppressing the weaker and getting spiritual pleasure!" Shi Fei sighed and said, "It's just like Ah Q."

"Yes! The feeling of winning like this is Ah Q!" Li Zhao said, "Essentially, it's self-deception, and that's why people here have an Indian-style 'mysterious self-confidence'."

"So what if you are good at math problems at Dongda? I corrected the math problems. So what if your Dongda has fast technological development? You copied them all from me. No matter what you do, it's meaningless. I win and you lose."

This is the "mysterious confidence" that Goff City has similar to the Indians. In the past, when the gap between the two sides was large, this kind of confidence could still scare many people.

Now, as the two sides are gradually becoming equal, and even the University of the East is slowly surpassing the University of the West, this kind of confidence seems particularly stupid.

Shi Fei said: "No wonder there are so many illegal residents and run people in Gaofu City."

Li Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, without Runren, who will provide the emotions of 'winning' for the people at the bottom? Who will let the bottom live a stable life?"

"As for how the Run people get their 'winning' emotions?" He sneered with endless sarcasm: "They think of themselves as Dalit foremen."

"Foreman?" Shi Fei heard a new term.

Li Zhao said: "In this caste system, white people or Germanic people are portrayed as the top, and other white people, Indians and black people are second."

"At the end are people from Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. And people from the University of Tokyo are at the lowest end."

Seeing Shi Fei's sneer, Li Zhao continued, "Some people yearn for the righteous world and want to become Vaisyas and Shudras, so they imitate the lifestyle and customs of the Kshatriya masters, hoping to improve their caste."

"Such behavior is called Sanskritization in the caste system!"

“Those Run people, through their Sanskritization, thought that they were the most Sanskritized among the Dalits and that they would be appreciated by the Kshatriya sahib.”

"And the foreman will feel superior to ordinary Dalits, that is, his former compatriots, and can continuously gain the emotional value of 'winning' from the losses of his fellow Dalits."

"In other words, those Run people also think they have won."

"Hahaha~" Shi Fei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In all the dreams he had, he had never seen such a strange group of people. He had never expected that he could "win" like this.

Li Zhao continued to mock those Run people: "Naive Vaishyas sometimes think that they are safe because they are close to high castes and are protected by God. However, Brahmins and Kshatriyas can turn high-ranking Vaishyas who are full of superiority into Shudras with just a piece of paper. What about Dalits who are worse than dogs?"

"What foreman? In the eyes of the Brahmin sahib, isn't he still a Dalit?"

Shi Fei smiled and said, "Why does it feel like this Goff City is still in the ignorant Middle Ages?"

"Essentially, they are no different from the Middle Ages." Li Zhao shook his head and said, "It was a religious country before, it is a religious country now, and it will still be a religious country in the future!"
