About This Quote
As a society, we need to stop accepting the evidence of reality. We must question everything from our government to our parents to the world around us. We need to learn to think for ourselves and question those in power. Take a look at how many people can’t seem to think for themselves.
The vast majority of people believe what the media tells them. They don’t even bother going beyond the obvious and questioning things that seem wrong. For example, if all of the news stations were owned by a single company, they would all report on stories that benefit them financially.
The same thing goes for our government. If you live in the US, it is very tempting to vote for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump because they are “the lesser of two evils”. If you live in France, then you know that there is no chance of voting for either of them since they are both far-right extremists who hate immigrants and want to take away your rights as an individual.
Read about what our government is doing behind closed doors and you will find out that it is not exactly the best thing in the world for everyone.
