Time to talk about what is happening in the Uk, Canada en Australia – it’s called the tyranny of the 10%
According to a new study by scientists at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the answer is 10%. Once 10% of a population is committed to an idea, it’s inevitable that it will eventually become the prevailing opinion of the entire group. The key is to remain committed. http://pre.aps.org/abstract/PRE/v84/i1/e011130
The research was done by scientists at RPI’s Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC), and published in the journal Physical Review E. Here’s the abstract:
> We show how the prevailing majority opinion in a population can be rapidly reversed by a small fraction p of randomly distributed committed agents who consistently proselytize the opposing opinion and are immune to influence. Specifically, we show that when the committed fraction grows beyond a critical value pc=10%, there is a dramatic decrease in the time Tc taken for the entire population to adopt the committed opinion. In particular, for complete graphs we show that when p<pc, Tc~exp[a(p)N], whereas for p>pc, Tc~lnN.
> We conclude with simulation results for Erdos-Rényi random graphs and scale-free networks which show qualitatively similar behavior.
Of course control of the media helps sooooooo much
That’s how they get ideas like Covid tyranny to get “majority” support

That’s why they hate Elon so much
He took away their complete media conteol
