True. I'm with you here - I don't think you have joined them yet, but I wouldn't have expected Guy to write this 6 months ago - maybe I don't know him enough, even though he has his own takes at the end of pretty much every podcast episode, but I have seen this change in several other Bitcoin podcasts over time. They get more and more hateful (not saying Guy is hateful - yet) of everyone not conforming to this and a bunch of other more-or-less random things, though the same things everywhere.

I feel like one thing which may permeate everything, even our bitcoin and/or nostr enclaves is the sense of belonging or acceptance.
I'm sure I'm guilty of it too.
They may not perceive it that way, but you're right about how there are trending behaviors in groups/cliques.
When you're dependent of an income which is affected by others' perception of you, your behavior is affected overtime. Even when one resists it. All our livelihoods depend on that in most instances, I'm sure there are exceptions, hence the existence of so many assholes in the world.
It may be innate to the majority of us just from the fact that we try learn quickly as little children what will hopefylully get us acknowledged and accepted by those who are meant to care for us.
Probably very true, despite another value that is at least verbalized often by the same people, that of thinking for yourself and doing your own research... I'd say this is a situation where "watch what they do, not what they say" would be an appropriate saying...
