      You think it’s because you “Do not parrot the hive mind 24/7”

      The real reason is because you ironically say things like “hivemind”.

        Whatever you wanna call it. Hivemind, same think, group think, bubble, echo chamber and so on.

        Whatever term won’t rub y’all the wrong way applies to most of the people on this site.

        It’s their exact way of thinking or it’s “go away”.

        Requiring Ideological Purity for anyone to join your “side” is not a good thing.

          It’s their exact way of thinking or it’s “go away”.

          That applies to anyone who uses terms like:

          Hivemind, same think, group think, bubble, echo chamber and so on.

          It’s a way for them to dismiss those that disagree with them by plugging their ears going “HIVEMINDHIVEMINDHIVEMINDHIVEMIND!”

          If I am disagreeing with someone I am disagreeing with the individual and the arguments they are making. How many people agree or disagree with them is irreverent to the validity of the statements they are making. (See: Appeal to Popularity)

          It’s intellectually lazy and serves no purpose other than giving an excuse to not mentally engage with other points of view. At which point why are you bothering to engage at all?
          If I think a community is an echo chamber I’m not going to go in there to say “you guys are all in an echo chamber!” And expect that to go over well. I’m not going to waste my time going on Truth Social trying to find the handful of reasonable people in that community, I’ll just go somewhere else.
