I think you're letting negative emotions get the best of you - the existence of a prevailing opinion or a political leaning is not, by itself, "group think", and it's even further from "incuriousness", which is essentially just an insult if you don't know a person outside of their posts on one topic. The term "group think" is frequently reached for as an intellectually lazy self defense in places like forums where you can count the number of posts that "disagree" with you, which can trigger such defensive emotions.


You're doing what midwits on here typically do — namely, manipulating words directly instead of translating words into a model (operationalizing terms), manipulating the model, and translating back to communicate. The logocentrism of the innumerate. It's boring.


Even if you're right, supercilious putdowns only make things worse. Posturing as superior to the community you're participating in is in bad taste and at least as boring.
