Yes. It is very intersting. But this term can be applied to

a much larger group (or many groups) with any sort of specious independent thinking. It is essential(or funny) to see through the usefulness and find out what it is really about, especially like these days when misinformation is overwhleming (and welcomed by some). It is sad the only one you can help usually is only yourselves.
