I told you I was trouble

I've found that Tribalism is comprised of three things:
1. Blind Loyalty
2. Blind Hypocracy
3. Cruelty
Blind loyalty is the most important one to target because it holds the other two in place.
You have a blind loyalty to the "effective front-line critics' you are defending even though DM is still in power, still doing whatever he wants to Scientologists.
Why? Why be such a tribal ninnie and never criticize them?
Sorry I don't get it.
No, you don't get it ... but it's called looking at the big picture and ignoring trivia even if some of it is not ideal ... something similar is happening across the free world in Politics.
It has nothing to do with blind loyalty, hypocrisy, cruelty or tribalism.
The people you are currently tearing to shreds are doing something about the cult and by supporting them many of us are simply acknowledging the efforts being made because we appreciate it, a lot ... that doesn't mean we are blind or stupid or that we now need you to show us the way.
There is nothing complicated or wrong in giving support to people deserving of it.
Keep digging though by all means ... just don't waste too much time trying to drag us into your hole with you.
