A individual that forfits their
right to choose in favor of inclusion in
groupthink and what is viewed as popular or elete group. Allowing the influences of different forms of media and group members to hold great sway in the formation of attitudes, behavoir and opinion.
To accept the group mentaility and opinion as fact without examination.
Not only to be told what to do, but accepting the paradigm of thought as absolute thereby removing the weight of
personal responsibility in the making of decisions.
Example:
In 2003 American President Bush states that the need to invade Iraq is
imperative because it it was a supporter of
islamic terrorism and developer of
Weapons of Mass Destruction that would threaten the United States.
Although no evidence was given in support of such statements the american sheeple supported the war despite evidence to the contrary.

A term used by arrogant twats to elicit an angered response from those they are referring to. It makes them feel superior to be one of the few truly "
in the know".
It suggests that the
peope being referred somehow have less education o a particular subject, follow only mainstream media, and are gullible. This of course is often a completely
unsubstantiated claim.
Example:
1990's - You're fools! Global Warming will kill us all, but you're too busy consuming and polluting listening to whatever the news will tell you. ENJOY YOUR LIES
SHEEPLE!
same person later
2000's - You're fools! There's no such thing as Global Warming! You're too busy listening to
Al Gore and whatever these so called "green" companies say not realizing they're just after your money! ENJOY YOUR LIES SHEEPLE!

Two words combined in a desperate attempt to sound clever, most often
thrown around by people who fit the definition of the very thing they're
railing against.
Example:
I know the TRUTH! The Government is run by evil international reptilian Zionist aliens from planet X! Listen to
right-wing nutjob demagogue's name here>! He speaks the truth! Don't think so? HA! Clearly you're all a bunch of sheeple!

Term used by the newly
enlightened to describe people who "don't get it" according to the user. A way to put down other people based upon totally
subjective criteria.
Example:
"Oh look at those sheeple
voting for
Kerry. They don't know what I know. I'm so above them. It's
nice to know I'm better than most people. Isn't life grand, yet so tragic."

Example:
Do not use "
sheeple" in any place it could not be replaced by "
sheep people." Since no
sane person would ever write a sentence using "sheep people," NEVER USE "
SHEEPLE."
