Ok ok enough of this Political correctness crap that is killing our world...how and why is it so difficault for political and religous leaders to talk about politics race and religion and let the people decide the best course of action???
People like to lie to themselves to make life easier.
For a ruler of a country, the more ignorant, the more apathetic, the less-informed the population, the easier it is to control the people.
Control of mainstream media is also important as you need to brainwash the people with your propaganda so that they will support you.
