"If your boss asks for loyalty, offer integrity, if your boss asks for integrity, offer loyalty" -- Boyd.
Tribalists are often genuinely unable to distinguish between loyalty tests and integrity tests. Why?...

I suspect it's because of overloading of strongly ingrained kinship+survival instincts. The scene in The Godfather where Sonny is admonished "never go against the family" for a transgression that later proves costly is an example.

Right extremism is more often tribal extremism: integrity tests get totally pwned by loyalty tests. Left extremism is more often an institutional extremism, based more on purity tests.
