He researched groupthink and developed eight groupthink behaviors. I recast them a little below as commandments of the progressive left.

Confronted with the choice to initiate the mental effort needed to pursue knowledge, to focus his mind, to think-or not to bother-the irrational libtard social metaphysician with a groupthink mentality characteristically chooses not to bother, particularly if crucial issues are at stake.

Confronted with the choice to stand by the judgment of his mind or to act on a wish he knows to be irrational, he characteristically sticks by his wish and defies his mind, invalidating its judgment.

Confronted with the choice between his own understanding and the assertions of others, he characteristically abandons his own understanding, finding it "safer" to pass the responsibility of judgment to others.

All so the the irrational libtard social metaphysician can belong to the group.

The need to be accepted overpowers all else. That is the sign of a weak minded individual, the kind progressive leaders prey on through oppressive reinforcement of groupthink behavior.
