    Replace communism with fascism in the meme and sudden suddenly seems stupid.

    Free thinking doesn’t mean opposing common views by default, it means you reached your views (common and uncommon) by your own

      You didn’t get the comic. It’s a critique of mainstream propaganda. Not an endorsement of the “free thinking” argument.

        Its not an endorsement, is a criticism of those who consider themselves free thinkers but only follow the what they have been fed.

        The fact that it can’t be reversed (by having the media something correct) shows the bias that “free thinking” is only good when it follows our personal bias.

        Ironic how it’s flying over so many heads
