Another good comment. Yes, it would seem to me that in the mix of personality types and biological brain wiring we would have a percentage of society resistant to pressure to comply, and/or attracted to non-compliance. And I agree that some of these might be leaders, artists... creative types that make a difference.

Of course then it keeps going to be a sociopath... the dangerous level of non-compliance.
Young people tend to be idealistic and hormone filled and thus overly passionate. They are also historically very susceptible to ideological capture and lack life experience for the wisdom they would need to resist. Lastly, they are obsessed with securing peer group acceptance. Now add social media into this mix and it makes sense why we are seeing such numbers of them chanting the same anti-everything ideas.
But somewhere at the top... I think the witches are in charge. Along with Wall Street.
If you have access to Racket News, Taibbi and Kirn posted a long but excellent discussion on the creepy aspects of the student protests. ("America This Week, May 3, 2024: Gaza, Columbia, and More.") Taibbi described the synchronized chanting as "ritualized." Both of them also brought up Lord of the Flies and Invasion of the Body Snatchers,(as have others who have written on the subject of woke young people).
The Witches of Wall Street would make a good name for a movie, or a Punk band. Reminds me of Werewolves of London, one of my all time favorite songs.
Seriously, there are a lot of wealthy women in the U.S., many of whom got there by outliving their husbands. Many of them are Establishment Dems, but there is a fine line nowadays between the Dem Establishment and the Fringe.
