Kelson<p>Has anyone written a pithy statement of the corollary, that those who subscribe to this proposition are always convinced they deserve to be in the ingroup and someone else should be in the outgroup (even though other people in the same movement think <em>they're</em> the ones who should be in the outgroup)?</p><p>Or does "I didn't think the leopards would eat <em>my</em> face!" cover it?</p><p><a href="https://bookmarks.kvibber.com/m/edd81beea683ae04a2ad9490bd80b9b8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bookmarks.kvibber.com/m/edd81beea683ae04a2ad9490bd80b9b8</a></p><p><a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/conservatism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservatism</span></a> <a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/wilhoitslaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WilhoitsLaw</span></a> <a href="https://notes.kvibber.com/tags/leopardseatingfaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LeopardsEatingFaces</span></a></p>
