but I can’t discount individual intelligence coming into play when you’re willing consuming horse dewormer
How are you defining intelligence here? Down to the specific viewpoint of them consuming ivermectin? Societal effects are much easier to get a handle on, so why are we speculating on something neither you and I could answer, unless we're getting really into the weeds?
Like, the wider hegemonic society is literally trying to jab you, not convince you to consume horse dewormer.
Getting a vaccine is accepted as hegemonic in the US, or even worldwide? That's news to me. Hell, there are some people getting vaccinated despite genuinely not wanting to, for various reasons.
Hegemony doesn't only apply to what the dominant ruling class wants. If nothing else, you'd need further inquiry to figure out why half the US population is dead set against the hegemony.
No, it isn't exactly what hegemony is, especially if there's a counterculture that's having a noticeable effect on people's behaviors. Putting that down to some vague definition of intelligence is ridiculous.
