In the end its all about politics, it is even silly when it is logically assessed, however in reality the man who can persuade others without drawing attention to himself tends to be the real manipulator, since people assume that when there are no face behind the words that it is the view of entire mob.
In fact, when considering events and entire population; our scientific knowledge and accomplishments have long surpassed our humanity, and silly mistakes are still being made.
Also It is interesting how language, circumstances, and events can twist facts and truth, on the basic level, the entire perception of speech can be changed based on where you place intonation, or in which order the facts are placed, and it does make a difference, fascinating isn't it?
