The moment you tell the society,

“Look guys, this is everything you can talk about and how to talk about…”,

you are asking the society to wear masks. This “one size fits all” mask, is obviously not fitting everyone. You have no idea what kind of people you are putting behind these masks. I would rather have these people speak whatever they would like to speak. I believe this would be the filter for you to choose your people.

The next time you hear a stupid quote from a politician you follow, unfollow and make sure you do not vote for him.
