Nassim Nicholas Taleb has an interesting take on these type of controversies that is hard to argue with in his essay titled, "The Most Intolerant Wins: The Dictatorship of the Small Minority." Basically, if a small percentage of the population is motivated enough and the rest of the population is mainly indifferent to the cause then the minority will get their way. Most people have other things to do than to expend any energy on this. Plus, the magnification afforded by the internet leads to what we have. But in an interesting way, the argument has turned into minority view vs minority view. I think we'll be reading about this argument for a very very long time since no single side has an advantage over the other. https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dictatorship-of-the-small-minority-3f1f83ce4e15 https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dict...
