Populations are typically not uniform in their mass formation response. The first 30-40 percent fully internalize the process, become completely committed and willingly promote the narrative. A middle 40-50 percent may not be entirely convinced but go along to get along, especially if a job, key relationship or other asset is at risk. The final 10-30 percent remain independent in their thinking and some engage in outright dissent. Note: Intelligence and education are no protection; to the contrary, the highly educated can be the most receptive, especially when science is enlisted in the cause. Which group are you in?
This was way bigger than mass formation. COVID was Stanford Prison Experiment at global scale. We got a chance to look deep into each other’s soul and what evil things people can do to their friends and families if they feel righteous.
Very good point.
I was suspicious immediately because the propaganda had censorship were so apparent. And three years later, we’re still on the grip of mass hysteria.
It sounds like you're part of the first 30-40 percent that have become completely committed and willingly promote the Republican antivaxxer narrative 😂
What a ridiculous comment. You know full well who succumbed - your CNN-watching friends on the left. 4 things are needed for mass formation: generalized fear (Biden’s “winter of death”, CNNs death counter - that libs lapped up), social isolation (libs locked themselves away at home), nothing making sense (two weeks to flatten the curve, one more week, wear masks in restaurant but not when you sit down etc) a leader or solution to appear (Fauci and his magic jabs) Further, it’s not a Republican position to not take experimental vaccines every few months for something with an average age of mortality greater than life expectancy. That’s just common sense. Anyone not brainwashed and capable of independent thought can see that; Classical liberals, libertarians, independents, centrists, etc. everyone except the ever-crazier left. Also, not antivax, just prefer my vaccines to be safe, effective and not mandated.
I don't watch CNN or any TV. You clearly watch all the right-wing propaganda, considering you're currently regurgitating their talking points like a sheep. Why do you continue promoting their narrative? 😏

Is this enough weight for bench press
Flat earthers are just as "independent" in their thinking.
I mean in the same sense that your local witch doctor and an M.D. are both equally practicing medicine.
Most of my local MDs simply fell into line. They have families to feed, too. Doctors aren't necessarily good at critical thinking, either. We give them too much credit.
