  Yeah, there's that section of the population that is all "oh no, you can't tacitly approve of listening to [thing] or [some opinion] because that's a bad think". And then there's the rest of the population that just doesn't give a shit and won't hesitate to say "yeah, the government is not your fucking dad, maybe it's time to grow up".

    Yeah, now I don't quite believe it. Does anyone have a source for this claim?

Can you provide some stats on this? I was unable to find anything after 15 min of looking, and that would be quite a surprise to me.
