This is a civilization-wide problem across the West (and the world). It rests on a psycholinguistic feature or flaw inherent in human beings.
This feature or flaw is used in mind-control and self-actuating mind-control.
Once this feature has been tapped as a flaw, it works on its own in a majority of people, thus producing pathological hive-mindedness.
To be brief, psycholinguistic arrays tend to cluster around core concepts. The nature of trained-in core concepts is they become reified and ‘root’ the mind firmly against distractions, deviations and suasion.
This is good when you are training to be an electrician. This is bad when you are training to be a psychotherapist.
All cultures and subcultures are formed around core concepts (and psycholinguistics) through training and imitation.
It takes a better than average mind to see above this or around it.
Learn and understand FIML and you will see this in great detail within yourself and understand why it is both a feature and a flaw in all human language use.
It is not solely a psychological thing, which is why I often use the term psycholinguistics. ABN
