If you operate under a hive mind protocol, you assume everyone else does.

Kinda like the anti-racist crowd. I read White Fragility by Robin Do Angelo. In it, there's a part where she explains how she feels weird around black people, then assumes all white people feel the same. That's cause she's so racist that she assumes people of the same skin colour think and feel the same way.

I'm assuming there's something similar going on in that subreddit.
