in societies where the wrong opinion gets you killed people tend to parrot the party line, and have no way of determining how many other people agree with them, because of course no one is gonna speak up but this can lead to explosive results

consider a giant public march. in the US mostly no one gives a shit because everyone knows that say a hundred thousand people can be found to believe just about anything. march basically has no effect on expressed opinion

in eg Red China such a march might be *incredibly dangerous* to the regime because it would be public undeniable evidence that a lot of people hate the regime, which then leads to other people seeing support so THEY speak up, etc such is called a preference cascade
