Get the Forlater mug.Both the literal and metaphorical, formation is the rallying call to both Beyonce fans and Beyonce haters.
For the fans its a call to stand up and fight for what is just, what you believe in, for cultural diversity and for equality among colors, sexes, orientations, wealth classes and any oppressed demographic.
For the haters, get "in formation" is more of a metaphorical meaning. Inform yourself! Just because you don't quit get it or understand it, doesn't mean it's against you and you should hate it.

Get the Formal Brown mug.A phenomenon in mob psychology where a large group spontaneously joins into a monolithic, like-minded alliance with a sole purpose. The alliance is neither deliberate nor planned, but results from the powerful human instinct to protect the community.
While traditional mob psychology focuses on how crowds become instantly disorderly and chaotic, mass formation theory demonstrates how crowds become instantly orderly and unified. The word "formation" is used to invoke the image of a flight formation of fighter jets: the jets move in perfect "formation" with each other, as if they are one.
Mass formations can be either positive or negative.
POSITIVE EXAMPLES -- A mob can spontaneously unite during a momentary crisis (fire, earthquake, etc) becoming a powerful force for combatting the crisis, and/or saving those imperiled by the crisis. Examples include a bucket brigade fighting a fire, or a human chain of people attempting to rescue someone who fell through thin ice.
NEGATIVE EXAMPLES -- A mob can join into a silent, angry wall of (temporarily) wordless and (temporarily) motionless hostility against a solitary individual. This community-wide anger can culminate with an entire village acting in a blind fury to punish, banish, or execute the offender.
Some Hollywood films included scenes with mass formations.
POSITIVE SCENES: "It's a Wonderful life," "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,"
NEGATIVE SCENES: "Home Alone," "Angels and Demons," "Game of Thrones."
