That explanation doesn't make any sense because it explains none of the facts


When people get something shoved in their face day in day out some of them react negatively to it. Is the concept really so outlandish?


No, but have you seen what people are like when they react negatively? Their behavior is angry and aggressive and unpredictable.

What needs to be explained is a group of people predictably all acting exactly the same way.


You're seeing conspiracies where there are none. A group of people all acting the same way is not suspicious when their actions are the thing that groups them together.


Your theory that there's an invisible hand that makes everyone spontaneously act the same is nonsensical. It hasn't been observed in humans nor in the wider animal kingdom.
