    I think a good sense of criticism is always good. And I don’t like loyalty, ever. But, no matter where you go, there will be a rule of thumb that people will blindly follow. None of this will make me likable though because of the lack of trust I show them with everything.

      rule of thumb that people will blindly follow.

      i’m over 40 and am still confounded by this. brand loyalty always struck me as the dumbest possible behavior from people whose only value to the brand is in their wallet. i guess it’s easy to believe the company really truly cares about you when that’s what they pretend to do

        You’re getting downvoted because you’re conflating contrarianism with critical thinking, and people have already pointed out your mistaken logic.

        It has nothing to do with brand loyalty. You’re just falling into the other side of the “herd mentality” coin.

        There are very few of us, and it’s probably a DNA/brain wiring thing. Kinda like me looking at republican as if they are aliens because they can watch trump and think what he’s saying is good, and totally not like a dictator such as hitler.
