This is the face of extremism- falling over each other to be the most subservient and loyal to the cause. It's groupthink in a nutshell, they egg each other on and compete to be the most extreme because if you don't shout hard enough then maybe you're a traitor.

This is how you get nazis and holocausts.

    I was about to post the same thing.

    Its a fucking charade. a desperate downward theatrical spiral to show who can be the most ridiculously "True to the cause" because the person/persons who show the least effort will inevitably become the out group.

    It is not just about being a traitor or not. This attempt at declaring this guy a martyr is basically trying to prove you are one step more extreme than him on a meta level so you can absorb his influence and supporters to your being.
