    An ingroup only coheres properly once all members totally misunderstand why outgroupers dislike them, and form a consensus around a wildly wrong statement of the form “they hate us for our X”. Such a statement is the unacknowledged Axiom 0 of every reality distortion field

        That’s tautological though. The axiom 0 has to separate ‘us’

        Apparently axiom 0 is being disliked as a group. The rejecting group creates the rejected group. Then the rejected group starts rationalizing it.

        This delightfully explains why furries have failed to totally cohere: we know everyone hates us but we all disagree on why and therefore we can’t agree on what to do about it. It’s comical

        1. A significant part of why I haven’t been able to be a part of any real ingroup: I think most groups usually have some truth at the heart of it, and also tend to deny some other truth(s). The former makes me seek out deplorable folk, the latter tends to get me excommunicated

        Yup, heard this all the time growing up in a Jewish community. The X was usually just "because we're different," sometimes "because we're more successful than them"
