Neither, it's self preservation.

This is what I feel is right, but that this act of self preservation is coming from places the "sheeple" don't yet understand. It seems to happen unconsciously for everyone, but that many actively choose to consciously act on it rather than just be influenced by it.
I view these people as rudderless boats. They are allowing their selves to be pushed around by the biggest gust of wind at the moment. If another powerful gust came at the right second, they would be pushed in another direction with little resistance.
They do this to stay afloat in their human society.
