   Normally I like The Post Millennial, but they seem to just be reposting secjuice garbage, with even fewer details, which boils down to Pawoo somehow being half the fedi:

     Conservatives being psyopped into voting against their own self interest is very typical because most of them have zero knowledge other than "Someone uses it, it's bad". See that congresswoman who instantly blamed Kiwi Farms and wanted internet censorship.
     
     It successfully kept the right off of the fedi until the rise of Poast anyhow.

     Yep, and it worked because these boomers don't know shit about the internet. Why do you think the "darn kids" types wound up getting blown out in that culture war, from Tipper Gore to the religious right?

     Boomer in this context is a mindset, not an age group, and it's about being chronically out of touch with reality.

     I don't think it has anything to do with her age ... she's only 7 years older than me ... there are "boomers" and "zoomers" I know that can critically think and don't trust half the shit they see beamed into their eyeballs .. and I've met people older and younger who fully buy everything they see on Google/Facebook/the TV.
     
     I bet even if you broke it all down by age group, the split would always be around 30%/60% ... same as the Stanley Milgram experiment and various conformity experiments.
     
     ~33% typically know how to say no and to see more solutions than the ones presented. ~66% go along with everything.
     
     and I'm not sure there's anything that can be done about it. When that balance gets out of whack society tends to break apart .. horrifically. I think the 33/66 split is a naturally occurring phenomenon that's required to keep society cohesive. If everyone challenged everything without consequence, we'd have nothing of what we have today. It's the same with cells inside your own body and auto-immune disorders.
     
     If the 66% latch onto a religion or ideology or morality that's good for their society, it can be a very good thing (keeping in mind it's like 10%~15% that's presenting the leading ideology ... the rest of the cells in your body follow the brain; when they don't, you get Lupis and MS and can't walk). When they don't, you get Mao, the CCP, WW2, ... all the fun stuff.

     maybe NPC or Normie is more appropriate then ... or cowards? I bet that 66% can be split ... after all in Milgram, a lot of people got sweaty and nervous .. but felt like there were no other options ... just freezing up (like the Trolly problem) wasn't an option, you either went along or said no ... the ones who went along, but knew it was wrong were cowards ... and the ones that went along without question were just either really dumb .. or really psycho.
