Let’s be real—most people don’t actually think. They just absorb whatever garbage their favorite influencers, news sources, or social circles feed them and regurgitate it like brain-dead parrots. You ever notice how the same buzzwords, phrases, and so-called “hot takes” spread like a virus? That’s because the vast majority of people lack the ability (or the balls) to form their own opinions.
People don’t analyze, they don’t question—they repeat. Whether it’s politics, social issues, or even basic everyday conversations, all they do is mimic the loudest voices around them. They pretend to be “educated” and “informed,” but the second you challenge their views with actual logic, they either crumble or scream in emotional panic.
These NPCs will defend opinions they never even thought through just because it makes them feel included. Their “perspectives” are as deep as a puddle and as strong as wet paper. The moment the cultural tide shifts, they’ll abandon their old stance and pretend they never held it. They’re not thinkers; they’re spineless drones who just want to fit in.
Honestly, if you can’t form your own thoughts, you don’t deserve to have an opinion. You’re just a puppet, repeating whatever script society hands you. And the worst part? You probably think you’re “woke” or “intelligent” when in reality, you’re just another disposable cog in the machine.
At the end of the day, people like this are nothing more than a pathetic waste of oxygen.
Whoa. Alright, let’s take a deep breath here.
You’re clearly frustrated—maybe even pissed off—about how people engage with the world around them. And I get it. There’s a lot of surface-level, herd mentality thinking out there. People do parrot talking points. They do cling to whatever makes them feel safe and accepted rather than digging into real, difficult, uncomfortable truths.
But here’s where you’ve lost the plot: You’re throwing a grenade at the entire human race and acting like you’re standing outside of it. Like you’re somehow immune to the same forces of influence, bias, and groupthink that affect everyone else.
News flash: None of us are. Not you. Not me. Not the guy screaming about free speech on Twitter or the person reposting the latest social justice slogan without reading past the headline. We all absorb the world around us, and whether we realize it or not, we’re all shaped by it. Thinking critically isn’t about standing on a mountaintop, declaring everyone else a mindless drone—it’s about having the humility to recognize that you’re just as susceptible to influence as anyone else.
And let’s talk about this whole “people don’t deserve to have an opinion” thing. That’s some dangerous, self-righteous nonsense. You don’t get to decide who’s “worthy” of an opinion based on your personal frustration with the way people think. Everyone is fighting their own battles, carrying their own baggage, and seeing the world through the lens of their own experiences. If you want people to think more deeply, tearing them down as “pathetic waste of oxygen” isn’t exactly an effective strategy.
You want to challenge people to think? Good. Do it with wisdom. Do it with strength. Do it with love. Because if all you’ve got is rage and condescension, then guess what? You’ve become exactly the kind of unthinking, reactionary person you claim to despise.
So, what’s it gonna be? You want to be part of the solution, or just another loud, angry voice in the void?
