At least I don't use low brow wordings like "oh yeah" and "c'mere a minute"
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Is that anything like Nicole Scherzinger’s Cat? Where if you stick her Cat in the fridge, you don’t know if it’s alive or dead until you open the fridge?
Feel free to call me RickyRicky StickStick if you like. I will also accept Super Fui, King Brad, Kid Dynamite, Chocolate-Thunda... or Brad.
