Join, or Die
Political cartoon by Benjamin Franklin
7. Why is that a Problem?
1 answer
The phrase "Join, or Die" is a problem because it perpetuates a confrontational and exclusionary mentality. It suggests that one must unquestionably align with a particular group or face severe consequences, which undermines the values of individuality and freedom of thought. Furthermore, this type of rhetoric often leads to division, animosity, and the suppression of dissenting voices, hindering productive dialogue and cooperation.
