    @o7___o7 Yes, stupid and harmful propaganda campaigns are a reality a democracy has to deal with.But the problem is not that a majority is for this destruction. That is not the case. The problem is that a vocal minority has established itself in a position of power and are openly just doing it.That's not a conspiracy, and I am not forbidden to complain about it. It is even my duty as a democrat to at least make my voice heard, as one little force in the democratic process.

    @o7___o7 @Ardubal the book ban in #Fahrenheit451 was apparently the result of democracy too:-"But the public, knowing what it wanted, spinning happily, let the comic-books survive. And the three-dimensional sex-magazines, of course. There you have it, Montag. It didn’t come from the Government down."Bradbury, Ray. Fahrenheit 451: The gripping and inspiring classic of dystopian science fiction (p. 76). HarperCollins Publishers. Kindle Edition.
