2. The claim, in full
Among Brazilian football fans, identity fusion, not social maladjustment, went with willingness to fight and die for the group and with reported violence.
Cited on: /the-hive-mind, WHERE YOU'LL FIND IT › Sports, the first mirror. Entered 2026-10-12 with the /the-hive-mind rewrite; tag NEW-W2b-2.
3. What it rests on
-
Bonding can carry further than belief. Among 439 male Brazilian football fans, identity fusion, a felt oneness with the group (HOW A HIVE DEFENDS ITSELF), "strongly predicts future willingness to fight and die for the group", and "highly fused" members of organized supporters' groups "were especially likely to report physical violence"; social maladjustment was "unrelated" to it [SRC-860]. The violence went with bonding, not with misfits, though the sample was one of convenience and the violence self-reported.
