That isn't exactly wrong but it is a little more sophisticated than that. There must be a label for this but I have never found anyone that has described it or labeled it in scientific discussions. But, this is a genetic mechanism built into our species. Like our cousins the chimps, we are a genocide / war species. We practice genocide on other groups of humans all the time, it's part of our survival strategy. In order for our genocide survival strategies to be effective there is an extreme form of "submission" to the group is required during battle, members of the alliegence (tribe) must have absolute and blind loyalty that is not just a kind of submission but a submission fueled with a kind of rage. The word submission isn't correct actually, it's something like it BUT it is very specifically a mechanism in the brain that is turned on that is similar but not exactly the same one that turns on when you are in groups. It is very very specific mechanism that is turned on when you are engaged in a genocide campaign. And we practice genocide all the time, and even simulate it all the time in human culture. This mechanism maintains total and brainless loyalty to the group at all costs. It works sort of like the idea in the Borg species in Star Trek Next Gen. The purpose of it is to ALWAYS make sure that once your war party is formed and alliances forged that you have maximum fighting power without EVER losing members to traitorous breach of allegiance mid fight. Watch any nat geo or similar writing / docs / studies on chimpanzee tribes, how they sometimes split allegiances in tribes and then when they go to war one chimp tribe absolutely decimates all of the other chimps without exception. And they seem to do it with happiness. Here is a fun description of this by someone that is actually entertaining, you can find a lot of similar resources online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shJ1l9lz9IA Whether the people in charge know this in some official capacity I don't know, but they do know it on an instinctual level like you or I, after all, we are a type of chimp. But, what they are doing is they are triggering this submission of group members by managing the levers of power. We have allowed our enemies to control the levers of power and therefore control the direction and actions of the group. We must get those levers back and NEVER let these fucking things back in.
