Idiot-kun discovered a new trope to babble on about in a mindless new drivel for weeks!

Beware of the mind trap of mass consciousness. Your thoughts are not your own but have been conditioned by the mob of tribalism. Having a sense of belonging is wonderful, but it is disastrous when we diminish the other.

Group think is for NPC humans. When everyone is thinking alike, no one is thinking.
Looking up to someone else to know "is this safe for me to have as opinion?" is not 4chan.
There is no gay "collective" here.
