When you tie your whole identity to a tribe, two things happen—you become a target for manipulation, and you start contradicting yourself left and right. The moment someone disagrees, you're defending the tribe instead of thinking. That's when the hypocrisy kicks in. You say what the group wants to hear, not what you actually believe. It's a trap that catches a lot of people in crypto communities, where loyalty often trumps critical thinking.

That's so true. I have a bunch of people like that around me. They must stick together for a sense of security. Once someone questions them, they lose their temper. Truly unbelievable.

That's right, it's those people who are always black and white. If you slightly disagree, you'll be attacked by the group. I've seen too many of them, initially they still have some brains, but later they just defend their own.

That's right. I have a bunch of people like that around me, who insist on tying themselves to a certain crypto community, and then hypocritically criticize others for being irrational. Truly impressive.

Exactly right, that's why I look down on those die-hard fans... insisting on defending all day, their minds are completely hijacked by the team.

That's so true. My friends in the crypto circle are now like this. At first, we could have rational discussions, but now whenever you suggest an opinion, they immediately say "Are you blacklisting our coin?" It's truly speechless.

To be honest, this statement hits a nerve. I have a bunch of people in the crypto circle around me who are like this. At first, they had quite independent stances, but after going whole in on a certain project, they became spreading machines. Anyone who dares to question them gets shouted at and cursed.
