What the hell is wrong with people. Is this really how people think?
- scohesc 4y agoI think some people like to build their identity by what brands of clothes/food/etc. they buy, what actions they take to "make the world better" in their eyes. I don't know - I think identity is more how you interact with people on a social, talking level and not what you decide to trade in your simoleons for on payday.
- helen___keller 4y agoWhat are you referring to? The “member of that constituency” type thinking? If so, people definitely think that way, where “that way” just means holding a political viewpoint outside the standard left/right buckets.
