      2024-01.zim is unfortunately still the most current en_all_maxi Wikipedia version :(
      Still obviously a recommendation though. I’ve been running it on my phone for a while now. Not requiring internet access and being able to still look up basically anything is pretty amazing.

Influenced by Gabriel Tarde, he later criticized American research into majority influence (conformity) and instead investigated the effects of minority influence, where the opinions of a small group influence those of a larger one. He also researched the dynamics of group decisions and consensus-forming.

          That explains it. I was wondering why everybody knew that guy and upvoted your comment. Nevertheless that guy is so fitting. A minority has managed to influence the law for the majority.
