Oct 5, 2026 ~ 'The Death Of Neutrality When A Free Society Demands That Everyone Take A Side'
Even though they are wrong about almost everything, left wingers demand you agree with them or they will make your life a living hell. Just ask Ed Sheeran.
"Economist Timur Kuran has spent decades studying what he calls 'preference falsification,' the process by which people publicly express views that differ from their private beliefs because the cost of honesty is too high... Consider what that looks like in an ordinary room. Several people have reservations about the prevailing opinion. Nobody wants to be the first person to say so. One person stays quiet. Another sees the silence and assumes agreement. A third joins the apparent consensus because being the odd person out suddenly seems uncomfortable.
The room now looks unanimous.
It isn't.
That distinction matters.
A society can become more extreme in public without everyone in it becoming more extreme in private. People learn what can safely be said. They learn what should probably be left alone. They watch what happens to people who step outside the accepted line."
Eventually, some stop speaking altogether.
The moderate may not disappear. He may simply become invisible.
And invisibility creates its own feedback loop.
