[afortiori]

This is the the community organizing model:

Prey upon people by convincing them they're needed for the “cause” and use them until they burn out after there's nothing left to themselves.

Meanwhile, the self-serving users withing the organization advance themselves.

It's no different than a ponzi, multi-level scheme.

I've seen it first hand.

Prey upon people by convincing them they're needed for the “cause” and use them until they burn out after there's nothing left to themselves.

And after people burn out, they'll need the "cause" to help them.
