If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none.

Social media indirectly forces us to succumb to the standards set by influencers.  Failure to meet this results in public backlash, which is similar to Fahrenheit 451's book burnings. Additionally, information is also hidden from society by social networks in order to sustain stability. F451's book-burning is similar to the culture of political correctness because, in order to keep the public happy, information is hidden.]]> 2020-01-17 06:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/23rnguyen3/s698n0o671x0/wish/432798172 23cle4 https://padlet.com/23rnguyen3/s698n0o671x0/wish/432798524 "'Colored people don't like Little Black Sambo.
