Thoughts On Group Mentality
A weird idea breezed across my brain, that if conservatives adopt the style of a liberal looking hippie type person, then that might confuse people with conspiracy obsessed syndrome into regaining their common sense.
It isn't a secret that people in general want to be accepted, fit in, get along with others. In World History there are societies that adopted a uniform dress code. Hello pilgrim.

We identify with groups in particular clothes, a football team geared up, soldiers in uniform, gowns at a gala. When those people are in the personal time clothes, we can't tell who they identify with. Every time we throw on a pair of jeans and a tee shirt, we disguise part of who we are. If we wear the same style no matter what, then we can develop a group cohesiveness that might help people experiencing a lack of common sense to regain the reality they're suppressing.
Think what it would do to society if for one full week we all wore only tee shirts and jeans, and tossed on some hippie beads.
P.S. I'm a glass bead wearing conservative on the liberal side of the spectrum
I live in tee shirts and jeans pretty much all the time. Being tall means getting dress pants long enough is pretty much impossible. My lifestyle is just fine with jeans so I'm happy.
ReplyDeleteWhen will we start?
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
ReplyDeleteYou live a beautiful life. :)
Marie,
ReplyDeleteAs soon as a celebrity or somebody that can make money from it, the week of jeans, tees and beads will begin. Probably. :)
Interesting thoughts you shared here today. Even if we all wore t-shirts and jeans and hippie beads for one week, we would still be able to identify the person, just by the goodness they say, or do not say. Your jewelry is intriguing. ; )

Sheri,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, once a person speaks, all the mystery goes away if their misguided thinking hasn't corrected.
Well said.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William
ReplyDeleteGet your beads ready. It may happen any decade now. :)
