HSRP-440

For members high in fusion, a challenge to the group lands as an attack on self and kin, and exclusion deepens devotion; that they resist evidence more than others is not yet found.

2. The claim, in full

For members high in fusion, a challenge to the group lands as an attack on self and kin, and exclusion deepens devotion; that they resist evidence more than others is not yet found.

Cited on: /the-hive-mind, HOW A HIVE DEFENDS ITSELF › The self in the group. Entered 2026-10-12 with the /the-hive-mind rewrite; tag NEW-W2a-5.

3. What it rests on

For a member high in fusion, the line between "me" and "us" runs thin, so a challenge to the group's values lands as a challenge to himself and to people he feels as kin. One study found that being rejected and excluded for good deepened such members' devotion to the group instead of loosening it [SRC-780].
