| Love and belonging is not the loving-doving "Lets hold hands and help each other". A neo-Nazi feels loved and belongs to a group, as does Osama bin Laden's followers, or NAMBLA.
In a way most people want to belong to something. Whether its a socialist party, a cult or religion, a family (both legal and illegal), a circle of friends, or a neo-Nazi movement.
Even the "individuals" (ie. goths, rebels, teen "thugz") want to belong to something, so they all dress alike and get together (which ironically destroys every sense of their own individuality).
Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you. |
