Broadly speaking, you probably agree with the large majority of the views commonly attributed to whichever group you identify with - what are the exceptions? Something that if you mention without a caveat immediately makes people jump to conclusions or even attack you?

I largely agree, but I don't think people actually need to have an "other" to hate. I suspect it's an easily activated community-level defense mechanism, if that makes sense. One that's easily a used by manipulative people.

I'm just trying to figure it if there's an evolutionarily-selected use for having manipulative power-seeking types in our populations, or if they truly are more analogous to a parasitic mutation of a more conventional personality type.
