Most people would rather be in the majority, than be right.
At least 20% of the population has strong authoritarian tendencies, which will emerge under the right conditions.
Fear of death is only rivalled by the fear of social disapproval. The latter could be stronger.
Propaganda is just as effective in the modern day as it was 100 years ago. Access to limitless information has not made the average person any wiser.
