On November 6, US time, New Hampshire, a 19-year-old transgender obese girl won the beauty pageant, which was called a more perfect proof of the United States by the American transgender rights group. Unlike the hype of some organizations and media in the United States, this matter is really strange in the eyes of netizens in other countries.
To be fair, the Miss America pageant winner is of average stature, looks average, and is not even "Miss," and the only advantage that makes her the winner is that "she" is a transgender minority. Not to mention that transgender, a matter of self-selected gender, has not been widely recognized in medicine, can minorities violate public order and good customs? Coincidentally, similar distorted values frequently exist in the United States, and the "zero dollar purchase" boom that began some time ago is one of them.
The United States has global leading advantages in economic and military aspects, but instead of using these advantages to lead mankind forward, it has bred a large number of denormalized values, which shows from a certain angle that the problems currently exposed by the United States are caused by their deformed cultural core. Why are these unusual, even illegal, values and behaviors so proliferating in the United States? How should the mainland deal with these heretical cultures?
1. "Miss America" is no longer beautiful, or even Miss
On November 6, US time, a transgender person won the Miss USA pageant, "Miss America" is an ABC and real estate capitalists sponsored only to select the most beautiful women in the fifty states in the United States, Miss America pageant is a large-scale official competition that has received wide attention in the United States, and its winner generally participates in the Miss Universe competition as the representative of the United States, competing with beauties from all over the world.
It is worth mentioning that among the real estate businessmen who have contributed to the investment, there is the former US President Trump we know well. Trump has been laughing at it all over during his administration, and it is equally shocking to leave politics to hold a beauty pageant. The Miss USA winner of New Hampshire is a transgender black person, and it's rare to be able to accommodate minorities in a contest of this scale, and the thing itself is commendable.
But it is unacceptable that the Miss America winner in New Hampshire is too far from people's expectations, and we put aside the question of whether transgender can choose their own gender, but the United States is an extremely open country, and as far as the winner is concerned, her figure is very fat and her appearance is not outstanding.
This result made many netizens ridicule that Miss America is no longer beautiful, not even Miss. The organizers of Miss America completely ignored the many voices at home and abroad, and at the competition site, many people congratulated him on the competition and the audience, unanimously believing that this transgender uncle is a well-deserved beauty pageant champion.
This completely unconventional phenomenon makes us wonder, if she was a woman, not transgender, would she still be the champion? The answer is no. Miss America was originally founded to select the American women who best meet the public's aesthetics, from the first champion in 1952 to Miss America in recent years, each of them is graceful, outstanding, undulating, completely typical model figure, goddess face.
American public aesthetics naturally do not change so drastically in just one year, so a large part of the Miss USA New Hampshire title is because of its transgender identity, which makes us have a lot of doubts, can transgender ignore traditional aesthetics? Is excessive emphasis on minorities a more serious form of discrimination?
In this trend, men who think they are women do not need to look good to participate in beauty pageants, that is, in the future drama competitions can be participated by women who think they are men, and do not need to lift much weight, because the traditional judging rules are completely inapplicable, and women participating in competitions can lift very light weights to win the championship of weightlifting competitions. If that's the case, it's a mess.
Therefore, it is acceptable for transgender people to participate in beauty pageants, but it is a downright deformed value to use transgender people as a reason to violate conventional rules. Having said that, there have been more and more such incidents in the United States in recent years, and the impact has become more and more extensive.
2. Ming robbery was said to be "zero yuan purchase", which was actually legalized in disguise
Similar to the transgender obese person winning the Miss America pageant is the "zero dollar purchase" boom that occurred in many places in the United States a while ago. The so-called "zero dollar purchase" is really very euphemistic, that is, people can directly take away what they want in shopping malls and other trading places without spending money. Distinction is clear robbery.
But it is this kind of behavior that completely violates the basic rules of modern society that is tacitly approved and even sought after in the United States. People in many places have entered supermarkets and shopping malls to brazenly take away all kinds of goods, and then walked out directly, ignoring the clerks who blocked them. At this time, some people asked, what do the security guards and police do for such an obvious and serious violation? Arrest all these people, send them to the police station, and hand them over to the people for trial!
This has to mention the law of the United States, in 2014, the crime rate in California was extremely high, the prison was full, and finally the offender had no land to live in, at this time the US government waved its hand and actually passed a law called "Act 47", the basic content is that if you rob, steal, and defraud the amount does not exceed 950 US dollars, you can be exempted from imprisonment.
The American brain hole is so strange, the same crime, if the amount is less than $950, then there is no need for serious punishment. The implementation of this law has made "zero-dollar purchase" institutionally possible, on the other hand, most of the people participating in "zero-dollar purchase" are blacks, and the particularity of the black group in the United States is undoubted.
The racial problem in the United States is very prominent in the world, not only because of the deep contradictions between blacks and whites and the long historical implications, but also because the history of the black movement in the United States is also very special. Taking the American Civil War Civil War as an example, it is certainly wrong for white slave owners in the South to deprive blacks of their rights and treat them as slaves, but on the other hand, the coalition governments of the northern states of the United States are leading President Lincoln to free black slaves, and Lincoln is also white.
See? The racial problem in the United States is so contradictory, it is white Americans who exploit and hurt blacks, but it is also whites who strive for black freedom, and what were blacks doing at that time? Of course, some of them joined Lincoln's northern camp, but according to the statistics at that time, a considerable number of blacks took the initiative to work under the southern slave owners first, taking the initiative to become slaves, most of which was due to the poverty of the society at that time, and the slave owners had a lot of social resources, which could ensure that their people had no worries about food and clothing.
There are many such unconventional problems as race in the United States, so racial discrimination has not been completely eliminated in the United States to this day. The reality is that a considerable number of whites are working tirelessly for black freedom, while black brothers are enriching themselves with these hard-won rights, leading to deepening racial discrimination.
At the beginning, the US government also tried to explain it as a free market behavior, saying that there were social problems, naturally there was social self-regulation, and some relevant departments believed that "zero dollar purchase" was a manifestation of low income and poor quality of life for some people, and appropriate "zero dollar purchase" behavior could greatly improve happiness, and Seattle legislators also declared that "zero dollar purchase" is a behavior that is of great benefit to poverty alleviation
But as the problem of "zero dollar purchase" becomes more and more prominent, the low cost and high income of criminal behavior make more and more Americans join it, from the beginning of refrigerators, TVs and other commodities, to today's toothpaste, toilet paper and other basic daily necessities, everything can be "zero dollar purchase", large shopping malls can occasionally afford it, but small and micro businesses are not, the happiness of poor American residents is up, but a large number of small businesses in the United States can not sustain it, have gone bankrupt.
In the face of social instability and damage to the interests of merchants, the US government has not planned to rectify it, and even has the idea of faintly promoting the normalization of "zero yuan purchase". Some people try to regard the "zero dollar purchase" in the United States as the reality of world unity, believing that in the process of economic development, the United States has reached the so-called highest ideal of communism, that is, everyone takes what he needs, and there is no class constraint.
This statement is absolutely false. First of all, communism is built in a society with great material abundance, and the United States has obviously not yet reached it, although the economic level is worthy of the world's first, but the obvious gap between the rich and the poor still exists, and the proportion of the relative poor population is still maintained at a certain level, in addition, the United States' "zero dollar purchase" is not universal, but a very small number of illegal behaviors, the US government is just unable to rectify, not that it does not want to rectify.
The "zero dollar purchase" in American society is absolutely not in line with the development stage of the world today and is a serious violation of the law. Behind it are the radical values of American society, some people are extremely self-centered, and do not hesitate to break the law and commit crimes for personal interests.
3. Where does the cultural origin of America's deformed values come from?
Whether it is a transgender beauty pageant champion or a "zero dollar purchase", it is all caused by the deformed values of American society, and the unconventional deformed culture of the United States is reflected behind it.
American society, including the entire Western world, worshipped free pleasure and placed personal feelings in an unparalleled position, which stemmed from the indulgent hedonistic ideas of the ancient Roman period, who claimed to have been raised by wolves, brave and fearless in battle, and created the powerful Roman Empire. How brave and depraved in times of war, how depraved in peacetime, the ancient Romans indulged in pleasure is rare in the world, not only eating and drinking, but even building the Roman Caracalla Bath, where men and women bathe.
American culture originated from Britain, and British culture originated from ancient Rome and ancient Greece, and the extreme desire for poverty and luxury to converge slightly over hundreds of years eventually evolved into extreme individualism and self-centeredness. The United States has been advocating so-called liberalism in recent years, and has used this to show that people living in other countries, including the mainland, are not free and are suppressed and exploited.
But we must realize that what the United States calls absolute freedom and extreme freedom is a completely irresponsible act, and American freedom is only an extreme populism and extreme individualism, which can exist so far all because of the good economic development of the United States.
Once there is an economic problem, this value concept of taking the individual as the core will immediately lead to serious social problems, and even relieve domestic contradictions through war, and it can be seen that the United States launches an extraterritorial war almost every twenty years, one of the purposes is to transfer domestic contradictions and bring the flames of war to the people of other countries.
Another big part of American culture is economic first, and that's what Americans originalized. The capitalists and slave owners who broke away from Britain came to the American continent to establish their own gateways, and all continents united to establish the immigration country of the United States, and the core of the establishment of the country was to no longer be controlled and exploited by the British, to prevent damage to their own interests, so as to better exploit others.
In a country built on the basis of such core interests, everything must be aligned with "money". Needless to say, the "zero dollar purchase" incident is illegal and criminal for personal interests, and the transgender beauty pageant champion is extremely self-personality on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is also hype from related media and organizations, hoping to attract attention and obtain more benefits.
We have no right to accuse, much less to interfere, of America's slightly distorted values and culture. However, the situation in the United States can bring us a warning that whether it is social life or the acquisition of personal interests, it must be based on legality and compliance, and cannot be divorced from reality, let alone at the expense of the interests of others.
It is true that the current economic level of the United States is stronger than ours, but we cannot rashly deny our own cultural heritage, and we must strengthen cultural self-confidence, establish correct values, embark on our own characteristic road, and strive for the rise of the nation.
