- whateveracct 5y agoI agree that it can lead to authoritarianism. But it's not wrong. Ever read random convos on the internet? Like on social media? People cherry-pick sentences from essays and paragraphs and people have entire conversations divorced from full context. Because people don't read paragraphs, and they refuse to not be in a binary state of Yes or No. I'm not saying nobody can handle nuanced paragraphs, but I think if your message is always 5+ sentences with any complex logical structure, people will not get it. And bad actors will distort what you say to get people riled up in their favor.
