Groupist insiders accuse outsiders, whether external groupists, or individuator-loner types, of being mean, dumb, conformist, corrupt, mistaken, suspect and wrong-headed.
By contrast all insiders are always right and always good, no matter what they say or do.
Insiders can do no wrong, and outsiders can do no right, and their motives are always suspect.
Group-living is all about emotionalism and extremism, embracing falsehood, extreme likes of insiders, and extreme dislike of outsiders. Groupists under-trust outsiders, and over-trust insiders.
Only as individual-living, individuating private persons, can we approach the regard of insiders and outsiders objectively. Only then will we be dispassionate, logical, authentic and truth-embracing.
