Protocollectivism is the assumption that collective entities have human-like decision-making abilities, such as the ability to make value judgments.  This is the precursor to collectivism which is the act of valuing a group to be of more importance than an individual.  Protocollectivism is a subset of anthropomorphism, that is, attributing human-like qualities to non-human entities.  That is, human = individual, non-human = group or collective.

Still raining...

It's raining cats and dogs, and there's poodles in the road.

Rain all afternoon. Full double rainbow in late afternoon. Wind in the evening. Weird weather.

You're Thailand!
Calmer and more staunchly independent than almost all those around you, you have a long history of rising above adversity. Recent adversity has led to questions about your sexual promiscuity and the threat of disease, but you still manage to attract a number of tourists and admirers. And despite any setbacks, you can really cook a good meal whenever it's called for. Good enough to make people cry.

You're To Kill a Mockingbird!
by Harper Lee
Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you, but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.
