Because they'd rather swallow the lie and be lazy rather than risk being abused and scapegoated themselves by associating with the undesirables.
Politics is just like in school ..
There was a girl in a bully posse who always tried to instigate a fight, with me.She'd say insults,when her leader and posse were there to back her up. Often they'd get to the point my limit was crossed and one or more would get hurt.One time the teacher assigned just her and I to a table that was seperated somewhat from the other tables.. She told me my art was amazing,she actually said she liked me,she never knew I was so smart.. But as soon as she was re-assigned to the table with her sociopath bully leader and the posse she went back to being cruel to me,like that time with me never even happened.
She would start an incident and then when teachers moseyed over she blamed me.Again and again she did this.Later the vice principal figured out she was full of shit put us in a room to 'fight it out' and she was scared shitless of me.I grabbed her throat and told her that because she said she liked me,in art class that day 2 years ago I would not kill her,but I told her you know I could kill you right now.I could do it anytime..So I reccomend you leave me the fuck alone.And..finally she did. And there were no more incidents between she and I.
That is how vile people can be when they accept a leader and become a minion of a bully and are scared to be disloyal to the posse they think gives them social privleges.
the unpopular kid is bullied by the ones clinging to the lead bullies coat tails. If they actually had the guts to step out of the posse then they might find scapegoats are not always bad people,and if they had the guts to stand up against the posse and the abuser at the center of it,they might find freindship does not need cocercion to be real,but it takes compassion and understanding and sharing even of weakness and an honoring of the bonds of trust,and there is nowhere to evelate ones self lest they face rejection..
