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.


In art, composition is key. In life, context, I believe, is the clearest lens to view the images we accept or reject.

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
