MODERATORS
Technically the choice exists for them.... But if they're never introduced to it can they be expected to know it exists? If every single person in their lives... Their parents, teachers, preachers, everyone they see on TV... Only ever feed them the same crap, and any dissent is not just discouraged, but dangerous. I'm not sure they really CAN choose you know? Now, there is a lot of willful ignorance as well... Don't get me wrong. And obviously there's a difference between not knowing you have a choice, and actually not having a choice.
