Read the following excerpt from a satirical story:

"In the land of Always Right, citizens prided themselves on their unwavering belief that their opinions were the ultimate truth. Every debate ended in unanimous agreement—because, naturally, no one dared to disagree. The annual Festival of Unquestioned Opinions was the highlight of the year, where each citizen would parade their most ridiculous beliefs as if they were awards of honor, culminating in the crowning of the Most Arrogantly Resolved. No matter how outlandish one’s assertion, applause from the crowd was a requirement; dissenters were swiftly escorted out of the festivities, labeled as ‘not truly citizens.’ Through this absurd celebration, the society not only ignored the necessity of dia\logue but showcased their creative commitment to ignorance, all in the name of peace and unity."
