The power of a clique

[We Never Know]

Whether you are ....
Provaxer/antivaxer
Democrat/republican
Proabortion/anti-abortion
Religious/non-religious
Pro-climate change/anti-climate change
Creation/natural
God/no god
Or whatever.....in my opinion its more or less a clique

People are loyal to their clique. Even if they disagree, they will still support their clique.

The question is...........Why is That?

We are gregarious. We die (or go insane) when we are alone. Better be with people you don't like all that much than being alone.

I would rather be alone than falsely support what I don't agree with our like.

Sounds like a case of projection to me. I have no loyalty to strangers who don't share my goals.

Do you have loyalty to strangers who may share your goals?

That sounds like projection to me. Its your way or no way.

Strangers don't get my loyalty unless they earn it over time then they are no longer strangers

 

[Gargovic Malkav]

If people are not loyal to the clique they believe to be part of, doesn't that make them hypocrites?

There might be those who oppose each other on one issue, but they might be allies on another issue. There might be some cliques where everyone is expected to believe in the same things, but it's not a clique I would want to be part of.

Exactly! People will support wrong and deny right just for their clique. Its insane.

I'm not sure if this is influenced by age or locality, but around here it seems that if you don't subscribe to every view some group or the other holds, they don't want you at all.

I am not in a clique for me life alone is better. So i guess i can not answer your question well.

And that's the clique. Crazy how that works.

You can't live alone. You don't have the necessary skill nor mental make up for hermit life especially not as a pariah. Living in society implies supporting and tolerating a bunch of things you don't agree with.

It is.

And it sucks. I thought we were supposed to be over this nonsense in high school...

If I ever started a clique, then the only requirement would be to believe in the Great Pumpkin.

People can easily live alone. The problem is they depend on others to give them happiness and/or provide for them. Anyone is capable of both alone.

From my experiences, it got worse out of school because being grown up brought on more cliques
