I see sXe as a socially acceptable manifestation of what's, at heart, a decent philosophy - but a manifestation that plays to the motivations and biases that make an ingroup work.

In other words, I respect people who refuse to ingest mind-altering substances. But sXe is what happens when such people get together, divide the world up into "us" vs. "them," and start thinking as a group instead of for themselves.
