Sometimes, they are leaders who are not controlling or abusive. This is because the hypercritical tend to disdain and disrespect even those who serve them in a Christian attitude of love. Because of their confusion about the beneficial use of authority, they may attack leaders who do not rule with a heavy hand. This is due to the fact that they perceive these leaders as less powerful or respected than those who would demand respect. In any case, most victims are not interested in being a threat to the hypercritical, yet nevertheless they are painted as a threat in a sort of paranoid overreaction.
Cults are notorious for such hypercritical behavior.
Their hypercritical stance and beliefs justify certain things for them. However because of the nature of hypercriticism and judgmentalism, they can't seem to stop there. This is because hypercriticism must find new victims. Therefore, they engage in teachings, justifications, and actions that demonstrate unmerciful sectarianism of all kinds. This includes not only acts of exclusivism for the 'protection' of the group from outsiders, but also acts of unmerciful division, strife, and disfellowshipping within their own group and among their own members.
