If you ask what was above, it emboldens those that quietly disagree, but are afraid to say something. Discreetly let people know that they aren't alone. Innocent questions require an answer, failure to answer is seen as a method of deception.
True, but intelligent dissent works better than confrontational tactics which polarize the opposition and closes off the mind. Careful persuasion is far more effective. Let the opposition get confrontational and devolve into name calling and loud accusations. It undermines their argument and makes them look stupid.

Also I would like to reference Dr Mattias Desmet, who states that totalitarianism becomes murderous when there is no dissent.

Very true. Modulate your voice and ask questions.
