Groupthink 

The act or practice of reasoning or decision-making by a group, especially when characterized by uncritical acceptance or conformity to prevailing points of view.

To accept the general opinion of the group to which a individual either belongs too or wishes to belong too. To adopt the unreasoned and unfounded BS that someone spouts off as either Truth or Fact".
Dave said to the group "McDonnalds makes the best burgers". within the next day every other member of daves group had repeted the same opinion as if it was fact and start taking their dates to eat Big Mac's.

Groupthink 

Groupthink is a flaccid substitute for actual thought, as practiced by all good liberals. A groupthought originates deep in the arse of a liberal “leader.” The liberal leader pulls the groupthought out of her arse and dispenses it to the hordes of waiting liberals. The liberals gratefully accept the groupthought from the liberal “leader,” then they kiss her obsequiously on the arse, then they all mouth their little groupthink platitude as if it were actually true. It is far easier to use groupthink and let sissy-pants liberal “leaders” do your thinking for you.
The Irish Jig O’Bama, a self-proclaimed liberal “leader,” farted a little groupthought. He squatted and strained, and this one pooted out of his arse: “We can’t drill our way out of this one.” By the next day, every limp-wristed liberal in the country was blathering the same words as if they were really true. NOT ONE liberal ever sat and thought about the truth of that groupthought. They just kissed the arse of the Irish Jig and chanted his dumb ass slogan.
Irina Dunn pulled a little groupthought out of her arse: “a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” And the next day, millions of womyn prattled the same stupid groupthought without considering its veracity. Millions of wives kissed Irina’s arse and belittled their loving husbands with that stupid ass slogan.
Some pansy ass liberal “leader” said that if you keep a gun in your house, you are far more likely to shoot one of your loved ones in anger with it, than you are to ever shoot a greasy, sneering, home-invading Pachuco boy. And next day, millions of liberals hit the streets babbling the same damn thing. NOT ONE liberal ever sat and thought about the stupidity of saying that. Not one liberal ever thought, “we are a loving, caring, family. We seldom argue, and wouldn’t think of using a gun to settle a beef. My family just doesn’t fit the statistics.” No, it’s easier for a liberal to use groupthink.
So sure enough, another sissy pants liberal “leader” says, “oh, but having a gun in the house makes it easier to kill your loved ones.” Well, duh. Guess that’s obvious, eh?. Driving a car makes it easier to crash into a brick wall. Taking a cruise makes it easier to drown. Living outside of a cave makes it easier to get hit by a meteor. Having a child makes it easier for your child to die before you. Are you going to sit paralyzed with fear because all those statements are true? NOT ONE effeminate liberal thought that through. Instead, legions of pantywaist liberals go around blathering the same insipid groupthought.
Some simpering poofter flounced into the room and said, “People don’t decide to become butt fucking faggots. They are born butt fucking faggots.” And millions of liberal twits accept that as truth. They yammer out the same idiocy as the poofters do. They never think for themselves. Come on, liberals, think! Are babies born eating butt? Are they born lisping and swishing? Are they born fisting each other and burgling turds? Think, liberals! Poofters become poofters by eating butt. They become poofters by fisting each other and corn holing the dog. Think, liberals! Don’t let a bunch of sodomites do your thinking for you.
Quit acting like a liberal! Don’t use Groupthink! Think for yourself!

Logical Groupthinking

Similar to Logthinking, but focused on the social enforcement of logical formalism as the only permitted mode of discourse within a group. The group develops a shared dialect of syllogisms and fallacies, using it as a cudgel to win arguments rather than a tool to find truth. Appeals to experience, values, or practicality are ruled "illogical" and out of bounds, creating a sterile, hyper-rationalized echo chamber that is often logically sound but humanly obtuse.
Example: In a philosophy debate club, a member argues for compassion in ethics from a phenomenological perspective. They are swiftly shut down by the club's president: "Your argument commits the appeal to emotion fallacy. Until you can present a formal deontological or utilitarian syllogism, you have no valid point." This Logical Groupthinking privileges form over substance, ensuring only one style of thinking can be heard.

Rational Groupthinking

The illusion of consensus achieved through a process that appears rigorously rational. The group uses shared tools—cost-benefit analyses, decision matrices, weighted voting—but the inputs (assumptions, criteria, data selection) are unconsciously shaped by shared biases. Because the process feels objective, the outcome is unquestioned. This is common in corporate boards, engineering teams, and policy think tanks.
Rational Groupthinking Example: A tech company's board uses a sophisticated scoring system to decide which project to fund. All members agree on the rational criteria (market size, development cost). However, their Rational Groupthink leads them to all weight "market size" based on the same Silicon Valley hype-cycle reports, causing them to unanimously invest in a metaverse project that ultimately flops, while ignoring a less-hyped but solid AI tool.

Room Groupthinking

The phenomenon where the immediate, unspoken social pressure within a specific gathering—a meeting, a party, a classroom—forces individuals to conform their expressed opinions and suppress dissent in order to maintain the group's perceived harmony and momentum. Unlike ideological groupthink, Room Groupthinking is not about a shared worldview, but about real-time social calibration. It’s “Read the Room” weaponized: individuals scan for micro-cues (the boss’s frown, the popular kid’s smirk, the facilitator’s leading question) and instinctively mold their contributions to fit the emerging, often unspoken, consensus of that particular space and moment. The result is decisions and conversations that reflect the room's social physics more than the participants' actual beliefs or the best available ideas.
Example: In a company brainstorming session, the first two suggestions are met with the VP's subtle eye-roll. Instantly, Room Groupthinking sets in. Subsequent speakers, having "read the room," only offer safer, incremental ideas that align with the VP's known preferences. The most innovative but risky idea in the room dies in the throat of its thinker, who feels the social cost of breaking the newly established vibe. The meeting ends with unanimous, shallow agreement on a mediocre plan—a perfect artifact of the room's social pressure, not the team's collective intelligence.

Roomthinking / Room Groupthinking

The hyper-specific, situational groupthink that emerges spontaneously within a single physical meeting or gathering, dictated by the immediate power dynamics, unspoken social cues, and emotional temperature of that specific "room." It’s the pressure to conform to the vibe right now, whether it's a boardroom requiring unanimous optimism, a classroom where the teacher's favorite student sets the opinion, or a party where dissent would kill the mood. The thinking is not about ideology or profession, but about maintaining the social integrity of the temporary micro-collective.
Roomthinking / Room Groupthinking Example: In a tense executive meeting where the CEO has staked their reputation on a failing project, Roomthinking takes hold. Even managers with private doubts nod along to the CEO's unrealistic salvage plan. To voice skepticism would break the room's fragile consensus and mark them as disloyal. The decision—obviously bad to any outside observer—becomes the group's truth for the duration of the meeting, driven purely by the social physics of that specific space.
