Silence is Compliance
Apathy and fear often prevent individuals from speaking out against injustice or questionable policies, leading to a silent majority that allows harmful actions to persist. Historical events illustrate how a minority actively participates in revolutions while most people remain passive, primarily due to social discomfort or a desire to avoid confrontation. This phenomenon was also evident during the pandemic, where some individuals recognized inconsistencies in mandates yet chose not to voice their concerns. The underlying psychology of this behavior reveals how social pressures and the desire for conformity can stifle dissent, allowing problematic situations to continue unchecked.
