Around about the time F.A.E. sprang up, I noticed a lot of the kin groups started looking less like groups of like minded individuals coming together to share ideas and support and more like churches.
Around the time F.A.E. did a hard withdraw from the public eye, I saw some cultish behavior from some kin groups, of the more harmless to others variety.
I fully admit bias, but being biased, particularly by personal experience, doesn't mean I'm wrong.
What does this have to do with what you're writing about?
Poke a turtle, and it pulls back into its shell. It's not so much about denial as it's about instinctive defense reflexes. The problem is that thinking beings *cough* have a harder time determining what is and isn't a threat, much less what actually needs to be protected.
