Thats because it takes real guts to stand up to social tyranny. Ask a general what's more difficult:

To shed blood on a battlefield or to stand alone against the masses. I resisted the plandemic in every way possible...but i ain't gonna lie it could be terrifying at times.

'People have been found to resist the most powerful monarchs and to refuse to bow down before them, but few indeed have been found to resist the crowd, to stand up alone before misguided masses, to face their implacable frenzy without weapons and with folded arms to dare a no when a yes is demanded."

Hannah Arendt

She nailed it. And that's where tyranny takes its hold:

Apathy

Very true.

When you look at Covid-19 as the global human experiment that Covid was, Solomon Asch could have predicted the outcome in the 1950s. In his conformity experiment, only 10%-30% of the people are strong enough in their own opinions/beliefs that they won’t conform to what they know is wrong, while the majority (mob) – conform, no matter how outlandish the idea. It’s crazy to think that nearly 70% bow down to mob opinion. Yikes!

True...but it was no more than 2% with c19.

Its still just shocking to me, but than again, it's like they'd been crate training the population for this since passing The Patriot Act.

When you abandon freedom to achieve security, you lose both and deserve neither.

YIKES! Is about all that can be said. "... the greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled."

My instinctual internal response to every proposition placed before me is "No". And then I work from there.

The few who understand the system, will either be so interested from it's profits or so dependent on it's favors, that there will be no opposition from that class.
