The collective minds of the majority of humans operating as a conglomerate singular entity rooted in self loathing and fear of the unknown with the sole purpose of persecuting those who have escaped the hive mentality or perhaps more accurate to say, were never a part of the hive mentality. People will copy each other in social settings to not stand out because everyone assumes that if you stand out you will be shunned, which usually happens. Persecution of individuals who do not deem in necessary to ascribe to the group survival mechanisms that pervade humanity. Hive mentality makes cultural phenomenon such as bullying, gossip, slander, hate crimes, and community mobbing possible and not only possible but inevitable. Those who have escaped the matrix of the mind ruled by ego, naturally, shine as lights in a world where fear and rejection of the truth is everywhere in everyone to at least some degree. To seek the assumed welfare of all humans, hive mentality has materialized to ensure that the functionality of the system happens at the expense of outliers rejected as threats to the system.
"Let's gossip about him/her because he/she is different and makes us question ourselves and then proceed to run a smear campaign against them, further harassing them and making them feel worthless so they feel that they have no one in life to be their friend"
