Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that when just 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, their belief will always be adopted by the majority of the society. The scientists, who are members of the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) at Rensselaer, used computational and analytical methods to discover the tipping point where a minority belief becomes the majority opinion. The finding has implications for the study and influence of societal interactions ranging from the spread of innovations to the movement of political ideals.
I wouldn’t say 10% of people fully believe/deep convictions in what the left is pushing, I think a solid amount of people are comfortable believing that the money they pay in taxes just goes to schools and roads (fantasy), or donating to BLM makes them feel less guilty because they grew up in a mostly white rich town and had a nice childhood
A lot of those higher-up people on the left probably don't believe in what they are doing, but just responding to orders. They know that if they deviate, they will be dealt with VERY harshly.
Thanks anon!

Amazing
What gets me about this though is that the other side is definitely a 10% with unmovable convictions also.
