Reading into a general comment some implication tends to be a personal thing I would bet.In this case, by implying that only a ""minority"" of 20% believes May Day is devoted to protest, the announcer is indirectly highlighting the contrast between that minority and the majority.
Quote from: K-DogThis creates social pressure on the audience to align with the ""majority"" perspective that May Day is associated with spring celebrations.Social pressure on those with your perspective perhaps...wouldn't create a milli-psi on me. Are audiences in Washington different than ones someone else might be familiar with?
Quote from: K-DogBasic thought control and the peril of being a social animal. If I wanted to find a more appropriate video I could, but this video presents the flip side of the same coin, that's good enough.
Apparently only basic for some folks who think as you've described. "Basic thought control"? Might work with those who can't think for themselves rather than those who can?
