One of the ways that society is controlled is through what is called ‘Manufactured Consensus’ which is where false information and false axioms are perpetuated by individuals and groups to make the audience and public at large assume that this is what the “average” person thinks to be true.
Some of the people perpetuating ignorance are trolls, and the rest are parroting what trolls are saying. It only takes a few people in a co-ordinated mental assault to move the ‘Overton window’ into a place that is conducive to political agendas.
The trolls create a manufactured consensus which when challenged they will have an extreme overreaction in some form to shame you and anyone viewing this into never pursuing this line of questioning out of fear of ridicule.
If someone has bought into this and is parroting what a troll has programmed them with, they likely are taking what they are perpetuating personally and will get defensive when confronted. They are regurgitating cliché propaganda as if it is their own original thought.
That is definitely a huge factor that a lot of people never even consider. The people running government and society know how herd mentality works and our society has made it very difficult to feel secure going against the crowd.
The truth is there never is consensus within society, that is impossible. To think that the majority has the right to lord over minorities because of their opinion is a ‘tyranny of the majority’ and is not how a moral society functions.
A voluntaryist society is necessary for a truly moral society, a society where interactions are voluntary and violent coercion is NOT used to coerce people into going along with political agendas. Currently no society has achieved this, but with the internet we can share these ideas as voluntary interaction is preferable to violent coercion.
