of a feather flock together. It is only natural. You feel more comfortable
among people with whom you share opinions. That way, you avoid arguments and
conflict. What’s dangerous about this behavior is that it leads to what
psychologists call “groupthink”. Instead
of making judgments or decisions predicated on independent reason, we go with
the flow because it is easier than the risk of ruffling a few feathers.

to self-help guru Anthony Robbins, it is in our nature to avoid pain and to do
that which increases pleasure. It is more pleasurable to conform rather than to
express our reservations on any topic and suffer the pangs of condemnation by
the group that we identify with.

is especially true when it comes to political affiliation. It is easier to
listen to news channels that provide content that reaffirms the point of view
of your group. The problem is that when groupthink occurs, the members of a
group can make bad collective decisions.

today think that our country’s involvement in Vietnam was a good idea. Yet at

side you were on, whether you supported or were against the war, your views

phenomenon of groupthink provides us an explanation for millions of Germans
following Hitler. It is all about conformity. You can’t dismiss that behavior as merely that was then. You
see the same type of behavior now among groups, such as Antifa. The rhetoric
and the chants affirm groupthink. If you want to get along in academia, or work among the elites in the mainstream media or in Hollywood, you better submit to their norms.
In these spheres, there is no independent thought, no
questioning of assumptions and no discourse. The Left is all about diversity, just along as
you conform to what they regard as acceptable or politically correct. They are all about independent thought, as long as you believe what the group believes. If you voice an opposing point of view, other members of the group may publicly castigate for you opinions or ostracize you from your social circles or your professional community.
This is the way a group controls it members, whether consciously or not. Don't stand out. Don't be different. If you want to get along, go along. People usually like to view themselves as the rebel. In fact, our popular culture celebrates the suffering hero, who stands alone from the rest of the tribe and courageously fights for what is right. The reality is much different.
What is really dangerous is when
groupthink whips passions into a frenzy and explodes into threats or harassment in public spaces or violence in the streets.
