OK but the normies don't need to "buy it" - they will go along with any nonsense at all, even if they openly agree its nonsense, as long as it means staying with the herd.

(Of course one day the herd might reject it..)

I don't even think the blue-haired students or struggling boomers buy it. It's just an outlet for their own emotional baggage - low self esteem, inability to feel valued without peer recognition or superiority over others, sibling anger etc etc

None of them is remotely interested in the actual issue, and if it wasn't climate itd be something else, as we see with covid, trans, ukraine etc.
