This is an editorial. Not an article presented with facts from differing experts. We are being told what to think/believe, not given facts for us to make up our own minds.

“This is an editorial. Not an article presented with facts from differing experts. We are being told what to think/believe, not given facts for us to make up our own minds.”

Writing things like this will get you put on “THE LIST.” (See Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for further details.) I attended a mandatory (diversity or inclusion, or something along those lines,) session at General Dynamics. We were being presented with “facts” that were not “facts” and essentially told what to think. Someone in this huge audience said something that, in philosophy, sounded very similar to what you wrote. The presenter, the HR manager, snapped back with, “You better be careful or you will be sentenced to reeducation.” A palpable ripple wafted through the attendees and the low noise level dropped to absolute, pin drop, silence. You could see from the HR manager’s expression that he realized he had made a serious mistake. He stammered, “Just joking.” He made it through a few more slides, but you could see he really wanted it over and one of his cadre suggested that we break for lunch, even though lunch was an hour and a half away.

After that, they turned over the indoctrination to a company team headed by a genuine communist. Yep, talked to him and it was like you had taken the most diehard religious proselytizer and substituted communist doctrine for theology. He was a nice looking young man from Nicaragua, who was dedicated to making the world into paradise. Talking to him made my scalp prickle as he genuinely believed what he said. Unsaid, was that if, at some point, we did not “convert” we would all need to be killed.
