In my experience people stop thinking because it would put them in conflict with the people and institutions they’re attached to or relybon for patronage there is no morality or laziness involved its just politics the motivation to not do things is most important of all
I think that’s a reason why they might choose not to change their minds, but often it seems that they don’t even think about it enough to get to that point. It’s not so much “I may be wrong, but I still want to get along with my friends who agree with me” as it is “I don’t know why you’re wrong… but I’ve decided that you still are.” The difference is that, even if they don’t have any groups anchoring them to it, people still hold tightly to their opinion.
Groups and other perceived interests the shit people think is important to their lives gets crazy like anti communism as a whole thing how many people who were staunch anti communists would have been any worse under it really but they were convinced so they fpild never think about it again
