In case you don't know at least half of society has an IQ below 100, and in 2022 it is probably a lot higher. So you just need a couple midwits to join those low IQ people and you have what we call a majority. In case you don't know in democracy you only need a 1 vote majority to win. This problem is never getting solved while most of society is literally stupid AND you have this lovely thing called democracy.
The education (brainwashing) of sheep to follow you is the largest part of any political system.
The funny thing is often parents will say such things like "if all your friends jumped off a cliff would you?" , hinting that just because everyone is doing something stupid doesn't mean you should. How does an intelligent person escape the hell of a society full of idiots?
