Father Mavie

Chapter 703 Morality and non-morality (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
"Cruz, Van Dijk, Jagd, Shay."

Scanning the names on the document, Ma Wei already had a rough estimate in his mind.

Most of the names appearing on the document are non-partisan Liberal MPs who remain neutral and vote on the basis of their knowledge.

There are 182 cross-bench members in the entire House of Commons. Although this number is slightly inferior to the more than 300 members of the Liberal Party or the Conservative Party, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

If they can all be united, the women's trade union can become the most influential third-party force in the parliament.

"You chose the centrist party MP, obviously considering that MPs joining other parties may be hypocritical and deceive you to get votes"

Ma Weisi thought: "I am not familiar with these people, but I can collect information about them. The key point is that the current power of the women's union is only limited to a corner of London. Women in other cities are still scattered and not united enough. In this situation Now, how do you get them to vote for these centrist MPs?"

Members are divided into constituencies. In the constituencies of London, there are only a few MPs from the neutral party. Most of the names that appear on Freya’s documents do not belong to the London financial circle. The power of women’s trade unions cannot cover their constituencies, so how can they help? Woolen cloth?

"about this issue."

Freya opened the drawer, took out a book, and put it on the table: "Before you spoke out for women, there was actually a female writer who wrote the book "The Defense of Women's Rights" more than 60 years ago. The views mentioned in the book are very similar to yours, that women and men have the same rational capacity and should enjoy the same political rights as men."

Picking up the book, Ma Wei flipped through it casually. He had never read "A Vindication of Women's Rights", or even heard of it, but some of the contents mentioned in the book were indeed very advanced.

"It doesn't matter whether I am the first person to speak up for women, and I don't care about it. Is there a solution in this book that can solve the current troubles?"

"When this book was released, there was a lot of trouble, and many newspapers reported it, but within half a month, the noise completely faded away." Freya said: "In the final analysis, it is because the book was literate more than 60 years ago. There are only a handful of women, so men will naturally not agree to promote women's rights, and the book "A Vindication of Women's Rights" has finally disappeared, and it is difficult to find a model on the market."

"Although the book has fallen into the sea, the author of this book is not discouraged and insists on speaking out for women. Today, there are far more literate women than 60 years ago. We can use the power of newspapers to promote women's ideology. "

Hearing this, Ma Wei's eyes lit up: "Do you want to create a newspaper and publish a newspaper?"

"Yes." Freya nodded slowly: "I want to create the "Women's League" to convey ideas in the form of a newspaper."

Newspapers are currently the most widely disseminated news tool. Due to the literacy rate, newspapers can only be provided to literate people. More than 60 years ago, the author of "Advocacy of Women's Rights" was not supported because there were too few literate women.

Today, the literacy rate of women in the Kingdom of Windsor has exceeded 15%, and 100 out of every 15 people are literate. This coverage rate is enough for newspapers to use their propaganda attributes.

As long as one of the 15 people responds to the call, there is a possibility for women to unite. Freya believes that once the "Women's League" comes out, it will set off a huge storm in the Kingdom of Windsor.

perhaps
The Women's League can change the political landscape of the Kingdom of Windsor from now on.

"They won't let me build a school, so I'll run a private school. If they want to suppress our momentum, I'll publish newspapers."

Freya said coldly: "This is my right. If they tamper with this, it will destroy the social system they have worked so hard to build, and the loss will be even greater than it is now."

Ma Wei understands Freya's thoughts. What she sees is not just the city of London, but wants to set off a vigorous feminist movement in the entire Kingdom of Windsor!

this ambition
To be honest, if Freya is not the supreme pillar, Mavi is really worried about her safety.

Even if she is a duke, she shouldn't jump too high, otherwise it will bring disaster.

Of course, the main premise is that one's own strength is not strong enough.

What's there to worry about with a supreme four-pillared arch-demon?
Ma Wei didn't mention safety issues, neither did Freya, and the two silently ignored the matter.

"In fact, judging from the current social productivity, men are far superior to women, and it is only natural that they have a higher status."

Freya said: "If it weren't for the fact that the church believes in a goddess, I am afraid that the Parliament would not have passed the "Women's Rights and Interests Act." Perhaps this is the so-called destiny."

"Who says it's not?" Ma Wei shrugged: "The church has remained completely silent on this matter. It's already implicitly expressing its support for improving women's rights. It's a pity that the three goddesses didn't come forward. Otherwise, who would dare to embarrass you?"

"There is nothing the three goddesses can do if they don't show up. Who knows what they are thinking?" Freya said helplessly: "In short, this is my plan. I really lack information at the moment. If Nicholas, you can help If I collect the information on this list, it will be of great help to me.”

"I try my best."

Ma Wei folded the documents and put them in his pocket, stood up, and put on his hat: "I'll take this list with me, if you have any other questions, come to me anytime."

"it is good."

After leaving the women's union, Ma Wei turned around and came to Kensington Palace where the second prince lived, took out the list he had copied on the carriage, and handed it to the second prince.

"Your Highness, please help me investigate the people on this list."

The second prince, who was at a loss and didn't know the situation, took a look at the list and said in surprise, "These are all neutral congressman Nicholas. What are you doing to collect information on them? It has nothing to do with your election!"

Members of different constituencies have no conflict of interest during the election period, not to mention that they are centrists. Although they are not their own people, at least they will not help the Conservative Party. Who will pay attention to them?

"Your Highness, I just came back from the Women's Union."

Ma Wei said frankly: "I reached an agreement with Freya. She appealed to women in the Lambeth district to support my election. I helped her collect intelligence. These are the MPs she wants to win over."

"Oh, if I support your election, I really should agree." The second prince changed the subject: "But why didn't she come to me? On behalf of the Liberal Party, I welcome her very much! If you can get the support of the women's union, this general election will still be Isn't it easy to catch?"

"Your Highness, you can talk to her. We grew up together, so there is no need to worry about face."

"Well, I'll go find her tomorrow."

The second prince accepted the list: "After collecting the information, I will give it to her."

"Let's just give it to me." Ma Wei said, "If it was Your Highness who passed the information to Freya, wouldn't she know that I showed you the list? This will make it difficult for me."

"Okay, okay, then you will hand it over to her." The second prince didn't think about it so much, his attention was completely attracted by the beautiful vision of the rise of the Liberal Party with the support of the female trade union.

After handing over the list to the second prince, Ma Wei and Junia returned to the flower street grocery store, and it was getting dark.

"Xiao Hei, you bring this list to Fat Ju, and let it send a cat to investigate."

"Got it, meow!"

Xiao Hei jumped onto the window sill with the list in his mouth, activated the mud shadow magic and disappeared into the darkness.

Compared with the second prince, Mavi certainly believed in the information provided by the Cats and Cats Legion. It has been almost half a year since he came to London. During this period, the Cats and Cats Legion had already occupied London and expanded further. There are cats and cats' eyeliner throughout the Kingdom of Windsor.

In order to support the work of the Cat Legion, Ma Wei sent members of the Aurora Society to various parts of the Kingdom of Windsor to be responsible for cats' rewards, punishments and food.

After dinner, Junia saw Ma Wei standing in front of the window in a daze, and asked curiously:

"Dad, what are you thinking?"

"I wonder if Freya can win this feminist struggle."

"She's a devil, Dad, you don't want her to win, do you?"

"I hope she wins."

Under Junia's puzzled gaze, Mavi said: "It has nothing to do with whether she is a devil or not. Although she is a devil, her actions are correct. Women should indeed enjoy equal rights with men. There is no doubt about it." Yes, on this basis, Freya deserves respect for her voice for women."

"But she's a devil!"

"A murderer kills a person, but saves a child who fell into the water while passing by the river. Should he be punished?"

Junia thought for a while and said, "It should be that he killed someone, didn't he?"

"That's right, no matter whether he saves people or not, he will be punished for killing people, and vice versa." Ma Wei nodded and said, "His killing behavior must be distinguished from his saving people's behavior. We can't ignore the fact that he saved people just because he killed people, but in the eyes of many people, saving people is just saving people and deserves praise, while killing people deserves death, which is unfair."

"Unfair rewards and punishments will distort the moral system of the society. I saved a child who fell into the water, and finally got the thanks of the rescued person, some bonuses, or a pennant. But if I kill someone, I can use an apology and compensation." Some money to settle things down?"

Junia was a bit stunned by the question, and she was extremely entangled: "Is it right to save people? I don't understand. This question is so difficult"

"Many people always regard righteousness and bravery as a moral issue, and criminals as a practical issue. This in itself is a wrong perception." Ma Wei Youyou said: "When you don't have a sense of yourself, whether it is killing or saving others , it’s actually a moral issue.”

"The savior may be just a whim, but he did the actual act of saving people, and people always look at the problem from a subjective standpoint. Will they substitute themselves as the savior or the rescued?"

Junia blinked: "Savior"

"In fact, there are more rescued people, because the rescuers are widely reported, and it is difficult for people to substitute themselves into the identity of the rescuers. On the contrary, the rescued people who rarely appear are more empathetic." Ma Wei Said: "When people substitute themselves into the identity of the rescued person, how should they thank the savior? The value of life is difficult to measure. When dying, people always do whatever it takes. willing to take responsibility."

"It's like a rich man who fell off a cliff and said that he was willing to give half of his property to the rescuer, but he returned after being caught?" Levin walked into the living room and heard the conversation between Mavi and Junia, and joined in .

"Yes, people always like to evade responsibility and strive for conditions that are beneficial to themselves. It is natural to evade responsibility, because responsibility itself is a morality given by society. In most cases, violations will not be punished."

Ma Wei said slowly: "The so-called honest people are actually responsible and moral people. They don't know how to evade responsibility and are always kidnapped by morality. Those capitalists have no morals."

"If a contract is signed, an honest person will perform the duties in the contract, even the responsibilities that are not stated in the contract, but the devil is different. The devil will only perform the things clearly stated in the contract. It is ambiguous and unclear. Not at all.”

"This is a moral issue." Levin understood Ma Wei's implication: "The demons didn't break the contract. Their lies were based on something other than the contract. People feel that they have been deceived, but they just took advantage of it." Contract loophole!"

"The scary thing is that this is legal and compliant." Ma Wei said coldly: "Morality is what a society must pay special attention to. When a society loses morality, it loses its credibility. People suspect each other and become distorted. Nothing good."

"In order to maintain morality, we must distinguish what is moral and what is not. Regarding the matter of drowning to save people, his behavior of diving into the water to save people is a moral issue. Since he saved, we should give him the reward he deserves, and It's not about avoiding responsibility."

"We must punish those immoral people. Only in this way can the normal development of a society be maintained."

"It's probably hard to define."

Levin hesitated and said, "Brother, I know what you mean, but it's really hard to give a clear definition on moral issues."

"Then start from the level of responsibility." Ma Wei said: "The most realistic problem between husband and wife is nothing more than cheating. The laws of the Kingdom of Windsor do not give clear punishments for cheating. This is immoral, because cheaters really It violated the fact of marriage and caused harm to the other party, so it should be punished."

"Felix, what you said is actually correct. The moral dimension is difficult to define. If a country is governed by morality, its government will definitely become an extreme government. Morality cannot be the only ruling tool, it can only be an assistant, and it must be an assistant. "

"But on some issues, we must consider morality, and even morality has a higher priority than law. A woman killed the murderer who killed her son. According to the law, she should be punished. From the moral point of view, she As a mother, is there no reason to avenge her son? The law defines murder as wrong, but we must commute this mother’s sentence! Who says it’s not merciful? The law must be merciful!”

Mavi rubbed the head of Junia who was a little stunned: "It's the same with Freya. Although she is a demon, it has nothing to do with her behavior of speaking out for women. She is doing the right thing. We will Appreciate her, demon or not."

"Just as we can't ignore what right things a person has done just because he has made a mistake. Morality and responsibility are inseparable. Only by fair consideration can we achieve justice."
