One key aspect of solipsism is the formation of the hive mentality. In “Did Solipsism Kill the Manosphere?” one of the key facets of solipsism is the formation of social cliques in order to establish and enforce ideological purity. I wrote:
The job of the Manosphere is to establish tightly defined social cliques that enforce collective agreement. Without this, they (supposedly) divide and fall apart. Within this frame, the purpose of the Manosphere is to find a path for Christian marriages “to not suck.” It is centered on men and what they want.
It should go without saying that the Manosphere is very hyper-focused on what men want for themselves. This quite often presents as solipsism. It is profoundly hypocritical to say that solipsism is an inherent trait of all females when you are a member of a deeply solipsistic movement.
I suppose the most awkward part is that exclusionary social cliques are female-coded.
Perhaps even more awkward is that exclusionary social cliques are a key feature of the political left.
This is the kind of take that people think is “sensible” but is utterly delusional
On the purely empiric level, this experiment has been tried almost literally with board games – plenty of communities have existed – some even in gaming! – where people would just get together and play and what happened to them?
When enough “libs” find some cultural space they start doing what comes naturally – pushing to make the space hostile to non-progressives via salami slice. “Surely you don’t object to x, it’s so minor”,repeated until they reach critical mass and then activate pure exclusion mode where they put out constant purity tests to look for heretics and to police their own for hints of heresy
The only way to avoid this fate is to explicitly police the boundaries for that type of person because the conduct is designed to be unpoliceable – whatever the threshold for removing a person, they’ll stay under it (until…)
This is why the graph looks that way – it’s not because the left have all independently thought through things and are closing in on a tiny point of correct beliefs – it’s because they police their boundaries and ruthlessly attack anyone outside them and they do this constantly and habitually because they are herd creatures.
It’s all about the hive mentality where ideological purity is enforced. The ostracization is a feature, not a bug.
