While it is true to say that football supporters are generally delusional, that only applies to some of them. Try, for instance also, political parties, organised religion (especially) and nationality. They are mere constructs of the human mind. However, the process of "identification" is one that is common in nearly all human beings. However, does this prevent a community from using the epithet "we"?. Yes, we need to be on our guard against identification as it can cause extremism.
Identification can have many formats, including negative ones. I note you mentioned you sold your LEX stock b4 suspension. I also note that b4 suspension, LEX was a cash shell, and you sold. Now it is not a cash shell, has funds on hand to last till 2022, and has 6 gold prospects to boot. If it was worth holding for a period b4 suspension, surely there are many more reasons why it should be held now? Or did you sell when the price was way lower than now and are "identified" with your mistake with an internal voice telling you that you initial decision to sell was the right one? Strange thing, the human mind. We think we are all logical decision makers looking in with objectivity. If we take the time to look into ourselves, we find this not to be true. We are, delusional in that sense and some, rather a few of us, fight a battle every day of our existence to resist the delusion.
