"unbending loyalty" is an irresistibly sweet reward when you're a fucking awful person rational folk refuse to put up with. It's like how some shitbags go the "Christian forgiveness" route so they can LARP being their worst self and insulate from consequences.

If my friends become atrocious human beings, they aren't my friends. And that extends to their decision making rather than realistically having anything to do with politics.

"Politics" is an excuse from people who know they're making shitty decisions and want more padding for the consequences.
