    One of the only things that changed minds (and behavior) is peer pressure. But as you said, it has to be peer pressure. Pressure from your in-group.

    One of the big changes in our society is idiots and assholes can run off to Fox or 4chan or whatever slimy gutter appeals to them, and find their fellow idiots. Fellow idiots and people manipulating them for their own reasons.

    It sucks that reasonable people need to spend all this effort to babysit large children, but if we don’t then they go shit themselves and vote for trump.
