A Tribal Ninnie is a person who has adopted a particular tribal narrative, and are presently letting it do all their thinking for them. They have almost no original thought of their own outside the tribal narrative they have been given to think, except, perhaps, unique defenses for the narrative to hold it in place in side their pointy little heads.
They are terrified to question, or criticize, anything they've been given to think. Like baby birds, they simply swallow it whole.
A tribal ninnie works in service to their tribal leaders, fanning out and attacking the tribal enemies who their leaders have identified for them. Tribal ninnies fan out and attack people who do not conform to the narrative, or, who question it.
Or, God forbid, criticize it.
Sub-species of the Tribal Ninnie:
The Rinder Ninnie: This is a sub-species of tribal ninnie which is blindly loyal, unquestioning to, and irrationally defends Mike Rinder. This sub-species is usually willfully ignorant of Mike Rinder's past as CO OSA for 22 years because Tony Ortega has never written about it or acknowledged it, so therefore it can't be true. There are some Rinder Ninnies who DO know Mike's past as CO OSA, and the amount of lying he did for decades, but they have flipped and believe everything he says now. They attack anyone who is skeptical of what he says, or who questions or criticizes him.
The Remini Ninnie: This is a sub-species of tribal ninnie which is blindly loyal to, never questions, and irrationally defends Leah Remini. This is by far the largest sub-species of tribal ninnie extant in the Scientology ecosystem. In the main, all that they know of Scientology is what has appeared on Lea Remini's show, and they are convinced that's all they need to know.
Groupings:
THE NINNIEHOOD, is the lower-level unthinking, unquestioning tribe to which the tribal ninnie belongs. Often, if they see Leah Remini go after an old friend such as Stacy Francis, the ninniehood responds, whether the attacks they wage on Stacy Francis which Leah set in motion have anything to do with "exposing Scientology abuses" or not. Leah points, and the ninniehood launches.
Tribal Ninnies also exist inside the Church of Scientology. Their taxonomy is presently under study from a grant from Alanzo's Critic's Institute. First spotted in the wild a few years ago, studies are ongoing.
