It seems that this is a common view among LC members, and from what I've seen, LC meetings act as a weekly 'psychotherapy' session to reinforce that view. The mindset is "This is the best there is, don't go looking for anything else." Members are taught to suppress any negative feedback. What this leads to is the us vs. them mentality, aka the false dichotomy that has been discussed already.
