To maintain the unity and cohesion of the cult, there is a clear separation between those VRG(TM) and Randos.’ 

Members are based, special, "4channers"; outsiders are unbased, randos, not VRG. Contact with the Randos world — often including friends — is discouraged, and friends is redefined as the group itself. 

In this new friends, subjugation and subservience is expected and obedience and control is demanded. 

From one’s sexuality to one’s personal hygiene, the discord possesses unquestioned, absolute authority over its members’ lives. 

For a cult discord, it is imperative to seem infallible, to possess the answers, the solutions, the only route to salvation. 

The discord is fierce in singular righteousness, in the design to hail oneself absolute. 

A narcissist with insatiable needs for power, control, and, very often fame, the discord seeks affirmation of supreme authority through alignment with public figures and old members, achieving large numbers of newfags, and amassing private inner circles.
