What has caused WE THE PEOPLE to become WE THE SHEEPLE?

My understanding is that sites like FB are meeting places for the nutjob crackpot QANONS/Conspiracy theory ninja turtle wackadoodlenoodles Kg. I've never once FB'd nor do I intend to do so. I think it has done more harm than good from what I have read. What do you think? Since I've never been there I have no idea what it's like to be one. Thank you for your reply and the link you so kindly provided. Happy Thursday to thee and thine m'dear! :) This post was edited by RosieG at August 5, 2021 5:11 AM MDT

I have never been into facebook myself.

Early on we were invited to join by some friends and family members. I am not a joiner and we politely declined. Whatever a billion or billions of people are drawn to I'm not! From what I read you can attacked mercilessly there. Who needs that? Thank you for your reply Kg! :)

So when one fears the wrath of someone or something overpowering then they become a sheeple to feel some sense of security.

Yes. But it can be fear of a group, fear of a disease, fear of climate emergency, etc all used to cause people to just listen rather than get the information and think for themselves.

OF?

Anything can be used...see my reply to Kittigate.   When people are in fear...they do not think things through.
