Question

what do you think is the meaning of this quote
“The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.”

Answer 1

Answer:

Hatred and blinding biases are worse than weapons of destruction.

Explanation:

• The quote is an excerpt from "The Twilight Zone:The Monsters are due on Maple Street". Here, the narrator is trying to convey that human minds can be far more dangerous than any man-made weapon. Thoughts and attitudes such as prejudices, superiority complex, biases, etc. are as destructive as any weapon and they can lead the people to chaos and destruction.
• This quote also means that without truth, fraternity or right information, the prejudice and hatred manifested inside the minds of the people would be inherited by the coming generation and the cycle of hatred would keep on passing from one generation to the other.
