of course, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_majority https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_majority and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule_(Internet_culture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule_(Internet_culture) still apply.
What I am saying is, terribly as it may seem, hate can also be belief.
- kuschku 10y agoYes, but belief is not something that is supposed to be on that subreddit. The subreddit is for a balanced discussion about news. (And that belief is very similar to "The Third Wave" experiment – I recommend reading the books or movies to try to understand the right-populist movement in many countries today)
- ominous 10y agoThank you for the books, will look them up.
- kuschku 10y agoIt’s an experiment from the US from the 60s I think of a teacher trying to understand how the general population could support the nazis – the events really happened, but the book differs from the reality in most parts except the ending, while the movie differs only in the ending, but there it’s very different from what really happened. After all, though, it’s well worth it, and should be standard material in all schools. If you want a more technical view, there’s also scientific writeups about "The Third Wave".
