Re: Toyota’s Willing Stooges: The Trend Of Narcissism In Us Society

I will continue on page 13 now....
Quote:
The Toyota devotee is not a critical thinker engaged with the facts, but a highly conventional one who accepts routinized platitudes without reflection.
This is bad because I know Toyota devotees (and NO, I am not one of them) and they are not all like this. And that makes this statement false. My own brother-in-law could by all accounts be considered a Toyota devotee, but he knows plenty of facts about the cars he has and the competition. As far as being a "critical thinker".....give me a break Dr. Phil, people buy what car they like. Some buy strictly on looks alone (quite a number of people actually.....and that's not at all limited to "narcissistic Toyota devotees" like this article suggests). Some buy strictly because of brand loyalty, but once again...even "loyalty" is compared to "narcissistic insecurity" in this very excerpt. Yet, again, Toyota fans are not alone in this behavior....not in the least.
