Medieval Europe, under the influence of religion, did many absurd things, one of which was the crusades, and the other was the so-called witches. Although the protagonist of the witch season is a witch, the opening scene is a famous battle in the Crusades. This kind of naked war of aggression in the name of religion and in the name of God, against the so-called pagans. Beheaded and killed, they were strongly criticized in this film. They questioned the justice of the Crusades through the mouths of the two knight protagonists. For this evil deed of abandoning God's love, they fled. own answer. As for the existence of witches, although it is certain in the movie, I always doubt it. Medieval witch identification methods are even more ridiculous. One of them is to tie the hands and feet of the suspected witch, tie it with a rope, and then throw the witch into the water. If the defendant floats on the water, it's a witch, because witches are known to be underweight; if the defendant sinks, they're innocent—though, by this time, most of the defendants have drowned. Sometimes the defendant sank into the water and didn't drown, and that couldn't be acquitted because the devil gave her the ability to breathe underwater. Anyway, as long as you are labeled as a witch, you basically can't live. The Chinese seem to be very good at labeling. From the leftists and rightists before the founding of the People's Republic of China, to today's second-generation rich, second-generation officials, and migrant workers, it seems that anyone can be labeled with a number of labels. And once a certain label is attached, a person will have all the characteristics implied by the "label". But there is often a label, and there is a label of its opposite. If there are no restrictions, it is inevitable to fight. Looking at the genocide in history, it is life and death with different labels. The popular division of elements in New China is actually labelling. The poor peasants, middle peasants and rich peasants, with different labels, have different fates. In the Cultural Revolution, the labels were especially popular. Labels such as Red Guards, educated youth, and poor and lower-middle peasants were popular, but once they were labelled as capitalist roaders, black five types, and counter-revolutionaries, they would be enemies of the people. few. So, I am anti-labeling, at least anti-politicizing labels, how many evils are carried out in the name of fake labels. Once a person is labeled as politicized, the next step is to face either spiritual discrimination or physical extinction, such as the Jews during Hitler's time, such as Stalin's Great Purge, such as the Cultural Revolution. Of course, it is also like witches in medieval Europe.
