The groupthink of physical or tightly-knit intentional communities, from small towns to religious communes to activist housing co-ops. Pressure to conform comes from the tangible weight of daily face-to-face interaction, shared resources, and a deep desire for social harmony. Dissent is experienced as a personal betrayal of trust and can lead to devastating real-world consequences like ostracism or loss of housing. The need for communal survival can stamp out necessary debate.
Example: In an eco-village committed to consensus decision-making, a member raises concerns that their shared composting toilet system is a health hazard. The group, steeped in Communitythinking, perceives this as negativity that undermines their collective identity as sustainable pioneers. The concern is politely discussed but ultimately dismissed to maintain group cohesion, potentially leading to an outbreak of illness later.

Get the Community puh mug.Related Words
A mob attack emerging from and enacted by a community, whether online or offline, where the collective weight of community opinion, action, and sanction is brought to bear against an individual or subgroup. Community gang ups are distinguished by their source—not strangers coordinating, but the community itself acting as mob. The target experiences not just attack but expulsion, the withdrawal of belonging, the transformation of what felt like home into a hostile space. Community gang ups may be organized (through community leaders calling for action) or emergent (through viral community sentiment), but they share the unique horror of being attacked by one's own people, exiled from one's own place.
Example: "She'd helped build that neighborhood association, considered them family—then a dispute escalated into a Community Gang Up, and she found herself shunned by people she'd known for decades."
