One thing about aggy culture that really strikes me as amazing is just how little critical thinking they are capable of.
The type of person that embraces that which is aggy is accepting of their obsession with bonding social capital, along with the cringeworthy degree to which they use their symbols and rituals. Their obsession with hero worship causes them to believe that which is aggy is mythical in its greatness and held in awe by all persons.
But their low emotional intelligence and low intellectual curiosity leads them to believe EVERY piece of bullshit they see that reinforces their misguided perceptions of aggy and aggy culture. They don't question a damned thing they are told (which makes sense, as their educational experience is one of rote learning and not meaningful learning). The overwhelming majority of aggys believe anything and everything they are told about aggy "history." That idiot from yesterday who rationalized that A&M indeed did provide more officers during WWII because, in his mind, the majority of Annapolis and West point graduates served as enlisted personnel during the war is a prime example. He wasn't going to question anything he was taught in Fish Camp, regardless of how much he had to skew the outside facts.
A lot of aggy culture is built on outright dishonesty and a cultural lack of integrity. They not only lie to the world at large, they lie to themselves.
But don't be too quick to write off all the garbage aggys spew as intentional lies. An amazing amount of what we see as dishonesty is the inability of aggys to process information and to think independently. That idiot last night lacks the intellectual capacity toi understand Annapolis and West point do not send most of their graduates into active duty at the rank of E-1. He was taught every aggy alumnus served during WWII (all but a very few a highly decorated senior officers), not a single UT alumnus did anything other than actively subvert the war effort at every opportunity, and both West Point and Annapolis sent most of their graduates to serve in the enlisted ranks (with very, very few ever being commissioned as officers).
THAT is the world a number of aggy live in, and if you push them too hard to try to accept any different interpretation of history, they become increasingly agitated to the point of at least threatening physical violence.
aggy culture is a sickness.
