What is a conformist?
A conformist is a person who follows traditional standards of conduct.
Conformist comes from the Old French word conformer, which means "to agree to, make or be similar, be agreeable."
People sometimes use the term conformist in a negative way, as an insult implying that someone doesn't have the brains or the guts to question the status quo. Conformist can also be used as an adjective to describe something that follows convention and established customs. A conformist school board, for example, would follow the usual time-tested curriculum.

James Webb, i disagree it's the unwoke who always tries to control others because somehow either thier sexuality or not intelligent ways can't handle it we call them on it and they are non conformist.
Just like quiz club an common knowledge quiz club we joined which they apparently don't read before joining blame it all on others authors and players alike..I a woke and proud of it other peoples sexuality does nothing to my own nor does holding my ancestors accountable for bad behavior in the past..Also I am proud of my Ancestors not involved in said bad behavior. Those who can't stand woke can't stand real life without a crutch of griping sadly about how the creator made different creations.
I'm woke hetrosexual for I life know who I am and allow others unlike you to be whom they are.

John, he has published 133 questions. I think he also likes to be a wise guy.

I have a few in my family that fit the description on this. At one time they were called mugwumps. Their mug on one side and their wump on the other. Popular opinion is what they live on.
