I've given this some thought: in an authoritarian structure, one of the worst things you can do is show you're not part of the team. Usually HUGE consequences - both mental and physical - for the "betrayal" of your "family". And not just you as you said: your family, friends, etc all reap the consequences.

Truly reminds one of the way the "mod" is structured and loyalty is enforced.
