Yes, most people are natural followers, only a minority are natural leaders. An even smaller minority are neither.

The flu psyop made this blatantly clear; perfectly normal, stable, nice people became rabid totalitarians overnight because the authorities told them to. That experiment in postmodern fascism would never have gone so far if most people were not sheep.

Since then I've given up on any hope that the masses will wake up. As Seneca said: the majority is always wrong.
