I think it is about hope. People will blindly follow any cult leader if he offers them hope. This applies in all spheres of life, not just in politics and Bitcoin circles.

Insightful. However, a false hope based on double standards will not keep a group together and coordnated. It devolves into an anticult. Not much of a shift is needed, we have to tools to put together something that gives real hope. An open agentic future to return agency to those who opt-in.

Indeed. A lie can never be sustained. Truthful hope is perhaps more an exciting plan than vague platitude.
