The in-group is defined by strong social ties which are attained, and enforced, by conformity and compliance [see photo]. Being a part of an in-group is important for those of you who are insecure. However... Today the in-group phenomenon is being enforced on us all by laws, social rules, and a raft of authoritarian dictates [masks, Covid passports, woke language, etc].
The clear-and-present benefits of being in-group fodder seem to be increasing each and everyday in Western Society. The old reasons for belonging to an active in-group were married to social ties and sentience boundaries - today a key reason is personal security.
You can avoid the tyranny of the in-group however. You can live on the outside looking in rather than on the inside looking out. But to do this you must be secure in your own thoughts, actions, and beliefs.

The mind of a minimalist is developed on a unique sense of you which, in turn, is based on individual needs not collective wants. For instruction on how to establish your sense of you: go to minimal-you.com and hit the "become a minimalist" button in the banner heading. This will take you to a payment scheme for a 10 day programme that will teach you how to design, enforce, and live with mind filters: these help you to be the best person you can be.
