The Predictability of Groupthink
I don't know memes as well as I should. For instance, I thought that the "happy merchant" was called something along the lines of "conspiring Jew," or something like that. So, naturally, when someone dressed the happy merchant as a pot-dealing hippie, I didn't get it. Knowing the name of the meme made all the difference. After spending an hour or two on https://knowyourmeme.com/, I also learned the history behind the popular NPC meme, and that it is actually called "NPC Wojak." Anyway, I figured that I would share this little tale before going briefly into the subject of groupthink, and the NPC meme that I made:
Once again, I put virtually no effort into it. I shouldn't have to, it's a MEME.
Anyway, the sentiment I'm expressing here applies to nearly all form of groupthink: being part of something greater is, apparently, a source of pride for some people. However, some take it way too far, and actually DO gloat about being humble. I say that there is no greater form of hypocrisy, simply because if you boast about your own humility, then you have none to begin with, and are a liar as well as a hypocrite. Yet, that's what groupthinkers do, and I predict that pointing that out will cause system failures in their programming (I have yet to actually use this quote on anyone). Yes, groupthink is a form of programming, as it must be methodically driven into the thoughts and actions of all group members in order to make them compliant. Strangely enough, a lot of people submit to this willingly, as the creation of groupthink by malevolent shepherds is an exploitation of the human desire to "fit in," and get along with other members of the group - they are quite content to be sheep. This wouldn't be so horrible, if only modern outrage culture didn't encourage carnivorous and even cannibalistic sheep.
Thoughts? I don't know where else to go with this.
