Excellent research! 
People, as a rule, seem to embrace the "club membership" approach to social value. But the natural evolution of such constructs is to have the "club" cloister those defining its nature... which always appears to lead to some overarching "mindset" born of "what makes the club more valid."
As a result, we see the eventual endpoint of their existence to 'self-sustenance' and even 'self-justification' - to the exclusion of all detractions, and dissent - which is always met with disdain and rejection.
Prideful arrogance ... sad, sad, sad.
