Blind loyalty involves being loyal to a person or cause despite the damage the person or cause does to himself or herself or others. Excusing bad behaviour in the name of protecting allegiance to another seems honourable at first, but is ultimately dangerous as silence is a form of collusion. Many people feel torn between retaining loyalty to a cause or group and risking rejection or ostracisim or personal attack by outing misconduct. Blind loyalty involves a form of cognitive dissonance where a person sees evidence of a problem or bad behaviour and then turns a blind eye to the truth in favour of keeping a positive image of the person or cause. Knowing in your gut that something is wrong, and yet acting as if everything is fine. The classic example is a battered woman who protects her partner when police arrive in answer to a domestic violence call. Think of priests covering for sexual abuse among their colleagues, mothers denying incest in favour of protecting their husbands, and teachers turning a blind eye to abusive conduct by their peers to comprehend that "Loyalty is only a virtue if the person or cause is good".
"You guys are insane. Working like dogs and retaining blind loyalty to some jerk of a boss who doesn't give a toss about you."

The punishment an employer gives his employees who have not changed job for a long time, in the form of, but not limited to, reduction in compensation, job elimination, etc.
"Look at this -- Euan Taylor, he's been with us fourteen years, for Christ's sake! He ain't going anywhere. Or Bill Parker, he's been here seventeen years! These guys have to get a loyalty discount." - From The Insiders by David Charters (http://tinyurl.com/98992r)

When a person defines themselves by the products they use. This is not unlike the pepsi v. coke arguement or claiming one chain restaurant is better than the rest. Except for the fact that most of us stop caring at the age of twelve. This is usually due to said person having no discernible personality.
Social Leper: "OH EM GEE I just got a Mac arent you jeeeealous? those comercials with that cool guy and that other guy liek totally sold me on it. Macs are liek soo totally better than PCs. Now im like totally going to make my album on this thing... how do you turn it on?"

Tony the Tiler says there is a continum that exists whether you are conscious of it or not people rank each other. There is a pyramid that forms from this stream of consciousness. People that are generous go to the top of his list. Take care of these patrons and give them everything you can muster we need to reward them the truly noble of this life
And when you see great work you will see a mirror to a truly noble lord
And when you see crookety fuck tile work ask yourself was the owner of that pile of shit a shit dung beetle
Or did he buy the house with a shit monument
We are all connected angels and demons
MLK says truth prevails in reality
There is a loyalty pyramid
Focus on the positive and give more than you receive reward nobles and one day you might be at the top of the pyramid

Tony the Tiler told me about the loyalty pyramid. He ranks people by their treatment to him. He can communicate to his buds the rank. It even has timeline.
Kinda like what have you done for me lately but adds in intrinsic integrity, down to earth and a willingness to see Tony the Tiler make it to the top of his pyramid.
Which is to be a straight up guy with unquestionable loyalty to his crew.
