Grucci went on to say that
sometimes the conformist is
simply a person who wants to
be popular. Strong persons are
never conformists. They never

only imitation people. They are
multiplications of a monotonous

to imply a pledge of allegiance to

otherwise conscienceless crea

ity to an undisciplined bundle
of nerves, Kuspit said.
There is a flattening of selfhood
into a completely public mode.
