I think it does apply to any extremist "prophet" on any side of the spectrum. The way to escape, I think, is to make a conscious effort, to understand that sometimes -- even often -- you won't please your audience, and that moderation and backtracking on opinions and actions is valid and reasonable, even if your audience will consider you a fake or a flip-flopper. Which means this is really hard. At least on the internet and for public influencers.
