- crdrost 5y agoVery surprised that they never added one that started with R so that the acronym could be CRIME.
- bigiain 5y ago"Coercion, Reddit-karma, Ideology, Money, Ego"
- killingtime74 5y agoreligion? revenge?
- jdub 5y agoThat's just ideology.
- ffhhj 5y agoMoney is a social construct, it's ideological too. Let's call it ICE.
- worik 5y agoMoney is not ideology Being a "social construct" is not the same as being ideology.
- jjk166 5y agoRevenge isn't typically an ideology. It can be under certain circumstances (e.g. we will make the filthy Americans pay for all they've done!) but often people want revenge for a specific transgression with no underlying general belief (e.g. Bob banged my wife, now I'll destroy his career, fuck you Bob!).

- smnrchrds 5y agoMICE has a nice sound to it, because it's what makes people rat.
- wiz21c 5y agoso a traitor is one that doesn't share another one's ideology :-)
- maccard 5y agoNo, you can share an idealogy but be motivated by money, or coerced. A traitor is a label for actions, not motivations.
- fourampers 5y agoCan you please recommend which book should I read about this topic? Don’t remember if I’ve seen any.
