- ZoeZoeBee 11y agoSimply deleting people's feelings does not make them disappear. There will be unintended consequences to pushing totalitarian measures such as these.
- CM30 11y agoYep. Like making people think that 'the man' is trying to shut down opinions they don't like/facts they consider inconvenient and hence driving people to real extremists who want to capitalise on people's hatred. Every attempt to 'censor hatred' simply drives people to far right/far left/facist/whatever political groups that claim to be against censorship and for the 'common man'.
