There are those who challenge the system and view themselves as revolutionary minds and there are those who dislike and distance themselves from those who challenge the system and view themselves as rationalists. Both groups operate under the premise of preset stereotypes. Although we like to think we are all individual and different, especially in our thoughts, I think this far from the truth.
I'd like to think that the concept of thinking in stereotypes, may it be identifying yourself or classifying others with one or several, is omni-existent and inevitable in our modern society. Even as I write this I have identified myself with the role of someone reveals the truth, a stereotype, and as you read this you will probably think of me as the role of a snobby teenager who tries to impress everyone with fancy theories. In that case it is already hopeless to reach out to you, as increased amounts of effort to convince others of system-challenging ideas makes the impression of more and more insanity, pushing me further into the role of the conspiracy theory lunatic and you further into the unimpressed rationalist.
I think all relationships begin with stereotypes, stereotypes who seem to match a certain standard because our input, like the television, movies and music, is uniform everywhere. If you are from England and you visit your cousin in America, you can be sure he knows what you are talking about when you mention "your annoying older sister" or "that conservative old guy". Even in countries where people do not speak english, this standard of stereotypes still applies because they watch the same movies and same shows that we watch. Everywhere you go, this set of stereotypes will be the base of every relationship and every thought someone might have.
What if those stereotypes are part of how our society is controlled? There is no need for drill, for scare tactics and propaganda if you can manipulate the base of every thought. People who challenge the system are as much part of this system as are those who distance themselves from them. We like to think that we have a free will and that our opinions are unique and thoughtful, but that is not true, because we are all operating under the rules of predetermined stereotypes. Stereotypes that are collectively enforced every time there is a new drama about PETA, enforced every time we read about "timecube" and everytime you watch Bill O'Reilly. We aren't as dumb as those stereotypes, I'd like to think we can be much smarter, and I think that we are dumbed down on purpose.
