Quarantine Shaming and Emergence of Groupthink
#1
https://apnews.com/0714c8c609d604579d00ab93cd6df12c

Being a student of Generational Cycles means comparing and contrasting archetypes and learning from them.

So, in the era of the Prophet, the hippie, the free spirit, the ones who had sex with everyone without caring, we now see the opposite swing of NOW with Groupthink emerging.  Ppl being chastised publicly for "spreading the virus".

Can anyone reconcile these two things?  Flower children laying down with anyone they chose created the world of rampant herpes and HIV.... but also other common, curable viruses and diseases based on refusing to be hygienic.  Being hygienic would have caused them to miss out on what they wanted to do.  That was not something those Prophet archetypes would allow.  They embraced potentially toxic drugs and binge alcohol drinking, they SOUGHT OUT things like peyote and ayahuasca (unknown to the white man until then), risking everything for their singular vision.

All the sex they had ALONE created a wasteland generation of Nomad, their children, who grew up not with the idea of Free Love but with the reality that sex could possibly kill them, maim them, or affect them for life.  Thanks, Flowers.

Back then, there were basically two groups: the group I just mentioned, and the group who challenged them as being "straight-edgers". 

Now, in 2020, we see EVERYONE gathered together in a common purpose around a common campfire.  The era of Groupthink is upon us.  We do not have mass freedoms at the sake of others, we do not have adulation of risky behavior, we have a singular consciousness (at least as of last weekend) to do the right thing.

So we can see, Prophet has always had two groups.  The ones who refused to conform and the ones who did conform.  They have been fighting since Summer of Love and have never stopped.  Hero has had singular ideology from just being who they are.  Not that they believe the same things, but they shun anything with "belief" attached to it.  Maybe that is their form of rebellion, that I cannot say.
