In 1977 (out of high school), if you asked me how many people out of a 1,000 were activist-minded....I'd say one max.
Today? Out of a thousand, I would say at least a hundred are on some mindset daily, and another hundred will be in this activist role at least once or twice a week.
Even at some church meeting, or some bowling situation....you probably will notice some guy or gal who are on some talking-points agenda, and want to convert you (like some cult-status situation).
It's just an odd feeling.....sitting in a pancakes shop, or in a airport, or at some coffee shop overhearing folks do their activist 'chatter'.
If they are a relative....you probably will do your best to just grin or flip the conversation to UAPs/UFOs, or to the latest Disney crap-movie.
At some point, you might engage and offer blunt criticism or factual information, and in a matter of two minutes....you've destroyed the discussion they carried around (like some treasure-map they found). The problem then becomes.....they've become skeptical of just about everything, from that point on.
Rather odd society we live in today.
