The modern commandment is not “be good,” but “be agreeable.”
You are allowed to speak
↳ so long as your speech changes nothing.
You are allowed to criticize
↳ so long as your criticism ends in a compliment.
You are allowed to be “bold”
↳ so long as you remain employable.
The system does not need chains anymore.
↳ It gives you options, and trains you to pick the safest one.
It does not silence you.
↳ It teaches you to silence yourself.
