This includes actions that you wouldn't take out of this group or community because it can distract you from thinking critically.

Deindividuation in the real world can take the form of events such as protests, riots, mobs, parties and several others, typically involving a crowd or group.

There is also a negative part of groupthink where people will not be open to information that may be better or help improve the situation.
