    The problem is the perspective of thirds …

    a third of the population supports authoritarianism

    a third doesn’t support authoritarianism

    a third don’t care about anything and just want to get by no matter which side of the debate wins

    … and from my point of view, the first third of supporters is not actually a third of the population, it’s just a small fraction of population but it exercises so much influence because it has all the wealth … the second third of non-supporters is larger but it is also small and doesn’t add up to a third, they are vocal but not vocal enough … the largest grouping is the ignorant masses who just don’t care as long as they get a bit of money, some food, access to shelter and an internet connection and some entertainment, they really don’t care what the world turns into.
