Just why. Subliminals in music, conformism, media portrayals, tribalism with no outlet, dominance and submission dynamics (forcing others to see them), trying to separate oneself from their family or origin and take ownership of the body, self mutilation ritual so you can't go back to the old identity?
It seems like a lot of the time their explanations make no sense. Like the hypnosis phenomena, the unconscious mind is given a command, and it works backwards and feeds the conscious mind whatever bullshit is required to get it to accept going from A to C. And so you ask them and their conscious mind just outputs that same bullshit, which makes no sense to anyone. Like someone getting a tattoo to memorialize a dead family member. "It's to commemorate and remember them by". Nonsense. You don't need to turn your body into a walking graveyard to not forget your dead mother, wtf lol. Clearly the command was "get a tattoo", and then it happened at the first instance that seemed reasonable to the conscious mind. It's like scripted behavior. Which is what you get with subliminals and hypnosis.
