Saying everyone is normal is categorically false. You could say normal is relative, but then that still means there is no universal "normal".
Anyways, I use the word "normie" as a term of endearment. I love all the normies in my life and it's a tremendous pleasure for me that I get to be service to them whenever they need help in the niches I am in.
not everyone is nice about it like you or thinks of it as an endearing term unfortunately. i love the way you think though. i wish more people were as kind as you
I've always assumed that the word "normie" was specific to a general philosophy or community. So there are people who are normies relatively to bitcoin but are relatively awake and aware about the dangers of centralized control, etc. Relative to the lockdowns and mandates, "normies" are those who truly believe that public health officials have the best interests of the public in mind (as my grandmother would say "oh, bless their hearts").
There's obviously a lot of overlap in those two examples but I'm sure this concept is used in a lot of communities. As someone who's very happily married and sees the benefits of monogamy, I'm sure I'm considered a normie by everyone in polyamorous communities.
All which is to say - I bet we're all normies but in different ways and to different people.
well put.
Well put, normie.
The term normie dates back to the 1950’s and in general is used to describe people who are not a member of a subculture. It’s been used to describe straight people, non-punk, non-hippie, non-etc…. Very recently it’s been used by online gamer and crypto communities.
Nobody is a single identity, we exist in a multitude of spaces. So we’re all normies to someone else’s in-group.
