Tag yourself I'm "(I suspect)"
I don't think it's a very novel insight to point out how this pattern is pretty typical of high control groups, though I guess most are much more explicit about the in-group/out-group distinction there. Our very good friends seem less inclined to treat everyone outside the circle like they're part of a grand anti-tescreal conspiracy, at least.
The slatestarcodex branch of lesswrongers have made "high-decoupling" and "steelmanning" and being "gray tribe" their entire identity so its extra funny (compared to normal cults in-group/out-group distinctions) seeing how hypocritical they are at it.
