What's the positive side of Beta/Delta aristocracy? Both theory and personal experiences welcome.
Some I noticed:
- easy bonding when I sense that we share an affiliation
- group loyalty
- having a certain "we can count on each other" feeling with people in my circle that are also aristocratic
- exclusiveness fends off idiots at a safe distance already
- much permanent activity instead of having random people to talk to. We're all in the same boat then, that is great.
- you can "inaugurate" someone to a special topic which is fun for both
- being able to find people I resonate with fast
- subculture adherence (also contraflow-related)
- creating a shared experience
- making sense of things quickly by determining people clusters rather than looking at individuals without group context.
