The
more disordered and dysfunctional a group or community is in general,
the more the focus is on individuals in the group, for good or for ill,
(who does what, who did what, who didn't do what, "who is who") and the
less on objective information, progress, problem-solving, and
cooperation.
Everything becomes about who's idea something is, and who gets credit, and who is wonderful, and who we don't like, and exactly what everyone is doing, and where they are, and what they're wearing, and how much money they have or don't have, and who they're friends with, and what they look like.
The focus in the group becomes more and more SUBJECTIVE, PERSONAL, GAIN-DRIVEN, MICRO-JUDGEMENTAL, and PARANOID, and less and less OBJECTIVE, GOAL-ORIENTED, CIVIL, POLITE, HELPFUL, and NON-JUDGMENTAL
