It is normal in the real sense of normativity being the majority.
Automatic-Authority-Bowing individuals are the norm. And that is not a problem per-se. Even if it is unhelpful and annoying to more independent individuals.
What I consider counter-productive to non-normative more independent individuals, is labelling them with some derogatory acronym and turning independence of thought and intelligence into a disease or disability.
It may be a completely different way of approaching the world and everything in it. And it may not be the norm.
However, turning it into a disability, makes for large industries and worse, government, to try and 'screen' and 'treat' Independent Thinkers into oblivion.
All the while making blind rule-following appear to be the something desirable.
