There's a popular new meme called NPC that attempts to explain why people think and act in such a robotic manner. NPC stands for "non player character", which are the characters in video games controlled by rudimentary AI, like the ghosts in Pac Man. Their range of output and behavior is severely limited.
The meme grew when a 2011 low sample "study" came to light that showed many people don't have an inner monologue. They simply react or feel to events like dogs without having to narrate them internally. My inner monologue, on the other hand, doesn't shut up. I mistakenly thought that everyone experiences the same phenomenon.

"Racist!"
"Nazi!"
"Rapist!"
"Homophobic!"
"Patriarchy!"
And here are some NPC memes:

Not Everyone Conducts Inner Speech
Inner speech is frequent but not for everyone
Subject experienced themselves as innerly talking to themselves in 26% of all samples, but there were large individual differences: some subjects never experienced inner speech; other subjects experienced inner speech in as many as 75% of their samples. The median percentage across subjects was 20%.
