    Peers, most people live in our society too scared to do anything to others, and fearing how others look at them to just simply, be themselves, so people let society dictate who they are, at least a good chunk of society anyway.

    The quote means those in power are often the ones you’re afraid to criticize. Today, that could apply to authoritarian governments, powerful corporations, or even social groups where speaking out gets you canceled. It’s about where power meets silence.

    Unpopular opinion but it was an unwritten rule on SNL that no one do any sketch that would portray The Obama family in a bad way. Probably still is.

    He doesn’t rule over us yet, not fully, but Trump is absolutely using the government to go after those who criticize him, states and individuals alike.

    Yeah, you know who rules over me? Disabled infants. If I criticize them at all I am *immediately* cancelled.

    Because the US is becoming Nazi Germany 2.0. Nazi Germany or North Korea, take your pick.

    Say mean things about Dear Leader and you are in a camp or on the firing line.

    This is a neo-nazi quote. Invented by neo-nazis. Not exaggerating, actual card-carrying members.
