Topic	It's very frustrating how vocal minorities often have the most impact!
shipwreckers 11/08/17 2:01:17 AM #11:	adjl posted... shipwreckers posted... More like the minority is more impactful than the majority, simply because they are more vocal about it, but yeah. The numbers don't matter. It really does come down purely to vocal people having more impact than silent people. That the vocal group is a minority is irrelevant. Heck, if anything, the vocal group being a minority means it should be easy to drown them out if it's something that actually matters. That's what makes it frustrating though. If you're trying to counter a minority group like ANTIFA or BLM that's blocking traffic and being dicks to everyone, and you're part of the mass populace that's been taught to *NOT* block traffic and be a dick, then the majority isn't GOING to say anything, because they've been conditioned to be polite (take the high road, etc.) In other words, if you wanted to counter a group like ANTIFA, you'd have to become just like them, only even louder (and more obnoxious). I'd like to think the human race can think of a more civilized way to silence / counter vocal minorities, but I'm not sure if that's possible. --- Money is overrated... <cite>shipwreckers posted [p:889981567] in It's very ...
