What is your view on the NPC meme? Zig Forumstards say it's about normies who follow their programming. Does this board do self analysis and introspection with dialogue? I can definitely say Neocons are NPCs. Sometimes I can't tell if my thoughts are mine or Cockshott's though, so that's something I'll be dwelling on.

It was talked about a little bit in this >>2646362 thread which is archived when the EU Article 13 thing was passed, I was basically shitposting though and using the NPC meme as a springboard.

It's a reactionary representation of the extreme alienation we feel between one another to the point of solipsism. For the right it goes pretty hand in hand with the whole redpill shlock. Feeling as though one is the only one aware of one's alienation, without taking into consideration that everyone else feels exactly the same way.

The actual study that kicked off this meme had like 30 people and was basically trash, and really was not even trying to mean the thing it was morphed into.
But the meme itself caught on because it deeply resonates, it was already a meme, the study just made the NPC wojack and gave it some traction. Its the standard p-zombie thing though Zig Forums is too stupid to simply call it that and instead tries to twist it into something the study can 'prove'.

This. its the height of arrogant teenage self-importance, so its not surprising that Zig Forums likes it. Still most teenage boys go through a phase when they think they're hot shit/are the smartest most rational and self-actualised being to ever walk the earth to the point where they develop contempt for everyone and everything around them, i certainly did, its just regular angst tbh and most people (hopefully) grow out of it and develop some degree of humility.
It is worrying that where we are right now modern society/capitalism is so deeply alienating that young people (especially the neet or otherwise internet dwelling types) are particularly vulnerable to never being broken out of their bubble and just aging without ever growing up and potentially becoming the sort of eternal manchildren of arrogance and contempt.

It's the 'normie' meme, but even more retarded. It's yet more proof Zig Forumsyps are kids and naive boomers.

This really. The meme initially had potential to be a quick method of encouraging others to be more of an individual and expose them to the fact that modern capitalism is slowly eroding any sense of individuality we might possess (a similar argument was made by Oscar Wilde in his essay The Soul of Man Under Socialism).
Sadly the meme at current is simply spouted by shitposters, WOKE Zig Forums users trying to demonstrate how redpilled they are and ivory-tower arseholes who believe that they're somehow better than everyone else simply because of an opinion they happen to hold. It really reminds me of that old stickman comic, where there's a group of people on a train all thinking something along the lines of "I'm the only free thinker in a world of sheep". One of the most interesting thing about NPC posting is that those partaking in it are actively going against what the meme is supposedly mocking others for, by repeatedly reposting an edit of an old meme, you aren't creating anything new , you aren't even creating anything useful for yourself or contributing any new standpoint to an argument other than "I don't do/have/believe in X, so that means I'm better than all you mindless drones"
