As for the clothes scenario, no, they would not be conformist; they would just be stupid. If you wore the same clothes as everyone else to fit in, then yes, you would be a conformist. If you bought clothes you liked that happened to match up with that of the general population, then no, you wouldn't be being a conformist. |
Then your idea of conformism is moot. If all it takes for someone to be a non-conformist is to not care what others think or believe that they are not conforming, then by your definition no one is a conformist except those that specifically believe themselves to be a conformist.
