...this post is the oldest link in a chain of conclusions that we could find, which lead to a turning point in history, which helped to bring about a a movement similar to the early skinhead movement of the 1900s - before ethno-nationalists had co-opted it - the difference being that skinheads wanted to solidify the identity of fhe common man, the common labourer, where as a nuller is someone who rejects identity entirely.

You can't be fully nullified, unless you've legally changed your name to null (all lowercase) and only partake in arts and entertainment dedicated to the nullification of naturalistic urges, to bring about enlightenment via the understanding of art and rejecting "the feels". Nullers often wear bright clothing, signaling a blank slate of mind, with blank expressions, speaking in monotone voices. Even the way they speak is entirely clean, logical and direct. Therefore, to truly be a nuller, one must shed any form of identity. One must become null.

It's said that people have never been forcefully nullified, but there's speculation that certain collective communities partake in practices meant to nullify the individual more effectively. The question is wether or not it is indoctrination or grooming, as the collectives swear that these processes are completely voluntary. Certain psychiatrists however claim that FOMO and a want to become nullified negates any warning or critical thinking in cases when people suffer from weakened impulse control, feel the need to satisfy others or other conditions, that the collectives may be taking advantage of vulnerable people.

Whatever the case, nullers are found everywhere today. Non-descript people, who don't adhere to race, nationality, religion or anything else. The famous author Dr Rinsegüld said: "a nuller is a puritanical humanist. They thrive on the idea of subverting, and even erasing the animal within. They're tiresome sticks in the mud, who won't dance around fires or joke at the expense of others. Whatever type of human that is, it doesn't actually seem alive."

They say many who become nullified change forever. Some say that the method of personality control - both from the individual and the collective - is so powerful, that the difference between a nuller and a computer can be negligible. The various collectives and groups have their share of members, as well as their places in various lists held by governments around the world. They are spreading rapidly and some people are concerned they may turn into a full blown political movement.

We here at TNN wish to tread carefully, but from what we've seen we are personally frightened and leave it up to parents out there to make the best decision for your children. If your children start dressing in all white, speaking in monotone voixe and talking with clear logical intent, unburdened by want or need, they maybe in the process of being indoctrinated. Be advised.
