I operate a hiking group..

People who are leaders, and people who pretend to be are completely different

When shit hits the fan, the ones who pretend become immediately obvious. Because you can't shit talk your way when real leadership is needed

And sorry, but I'm my experience, the heavily right wing in our group are generally what cause these issues in the first place. And people most concerned with who are alphas, or who are beta "cucks" are never alpha
