Some people are more prone to accept authoritarianism than others. These are the same ones that are more likely to be disillusioned as well. After all, everything is black and white. Right and wrong.

Obviously, I'm not prone to this. I've always been on the other end of this spectrum. At least, among those that have a testimony and are active. So much so that it's hard for me to relate to the persons that see things in such a "cultish" way.

BUT, that doesn't mean I'm not tribal.
