Indeed, just look at the QAnon and MAGA enterprises...

Interesting opinion, which you state as if you know to be true. Is there some consensus of experts in these matters regarding their exact definition that you can point me to, that would justify the absolute nature of your assertions? Thus far I see no distinction between hive mind and groupthink, and I never heard of any generally-accepted relationship between that concept (or those concepts, if you prefer) and responsibility. But perhaps you've seen some work on the matter that I haven't.


Unless you're assuming fuzzy language use is the same as stating a literal opinion.

Based on context it's fair to assume hivemind is being used as a synonym for group think and isn't referring to hivemind in some more literal but fantasy context.

Unless CD wants to correct me. :nerdy:

Hey, I don't need to accept being wrong if I never accept being wrong. 8)

QAnon and MAGA aren't literal companies.

They're just loosely affiliated and overlapping groups of people tied together by political views, some of which are increasingly detached from reality.

Yup, or any other flat-earthers because it's not limited to one group.

Another example in the English speaking world would be sovereign citizens. It's a collection of beliefs, some of which are quite archaic but the current interpretation generally results in American (but although the ideology exists in Canada, Australia and the UK as well) citizens getting in gunfights with the police because they don't believe they're obliged to accept being detained.

This ideology is often but not exclusively aligned with white supremacist ideology. As an example of how it's not exclusively aligned with that, the recent stand-off in MA with a Moorish (black separatist, and other things) group is an example of that.

Overall the general idea is that you're able to exempt yourself from the sovereignty of the state (or Crown) and therefore be above the law and not subject to various basic legal responsibilities.

Interesting. I often wonder about the role that religious refugees played in the early settlement of America (and even countries like South Africa). The puritanical religious cults persecuted in their homelands back in Europe founded new homelands and restarted their religious sects in the US and in South Africa.

Such groups would have uplifted the concept of being sovereign citizens to seperate themselves from regimes they escaped from,

Or just been more likely to included people who believed in those views.

The separating from the regime might have occurred before they left and just played a role in why they left or were removed. It might even be multi-generational in the way my grandfather's distrust of the state plays a role in why me and my dad both distrust the state.

Afaik sovereign citizen ideology doesn't show up in South Africa; it also doesn't show up in the Caribbean.

It way predates the folks you're alluding to, it actually dates to the era of the Norman Conquest and misunderstandings of how the law existed during Anglo-Saxon times.

The same general ideals might have driven Manga Carta and were displayed among the fringes of the American Revolution (basically that era's Cliven Bundys). I've heard suggestions that the same ideals motivated early revolts in England, like the one lead by John Ball.

I've deep-dived it since I used to be sympathetic to some of the basic ideas when I was in my early 20s.
