>>54193617>are normalfagsbreally so brainless that they will change their opinion just based on what has the most likes?Yes, but that's arguably been good in most cases throughout human history, psychologically speaking. If they're uninformed on a topic, the average person's opinion defaults to whatever the most common opinion is in their local environment, because humans are incapable of properly and thoroughly analyzing every single problem that comes our way. As social animals. to some degree we outsource our own opinions and sanity to the herd, because there's basically an infinite set of variables to examine and validate. If the herd seems to agree on the correct solution, it's usually a mistake to divert time and resources to reinventing the wheel, or risk any social fallout as a consequence of arriving at a different answer. You don't second guess a sign that says sticking your hands somewhere will get your fingers cut off unless you're really stupid.
But this means it's difficult for a group to change directions if the common opinion is proven to be wrong. And this also applies to things like elections. People vote for who they think is going to win based on what they've heard in their environment, not who they would actually vote for if they understood and considered every issue thoroughly. That's a large component of why propaganda is so effective. It's also why the media pushes ideas with the premise that everyone already agrees with them, even if the idea is really only popular with a fringe minority.
