<p>Dear Fedi Hive Mind:<br>Is there a word for a societal pressure, a zeitgeist, of pretending to be happy & successful & without problems such that anything contradicting that is not so much swept under the rug as bulldozed over? & not so much on the parts of individuals & family or friend groups; but seemingly as the operational policy of whole towns & communities?<br>I *think* there's a word for this; but the more I think about the concept, the more elusive that word seems.<br>Thank you so much.</p><p><a href="/tags/askfedi/" rel="tag">#AskFedi</a> <br><a href="/tags/hivemind/" rel="tag">#HiveMind</a> <br><a href="/tags/thesaurus/" rel="tag">#Thesaurus</a> <br><a href="/tags/fedisaurus/" rel="tag">#Fedisaurus</a> <br><a href="/tags/whatsthatword/" rel="tag">#WhatsThatWord</a> <br><a href="/tags/onthetipofmytongue/" rel="tag">#OnTheTipOfMyTongue</a></p>
