Part of the deal of being allies if you don’t have to be allies about everything.
That’s true, but for the alliance to be functional you need at least a moderate trust in the fact that whatever your shared interests are, they will persist for long enough that the other party won’t stab you in the back right away (until your entire goal is to just gain as much time as you can before the inevitable betrayal). I think most of these reasons are shallow or misaligned enough, and the crowd in question has shown itself so fickle and prone to simply valuing blind loyalty to its leader over any other overarching values, that an alliance isn’t worth what it costs.
I would be more trusting in general of an alliance with e.g. various religious leaders and factions. Even for all our differences, I would think that they would genuinely think about human dignity as a core principle. But a lot of these people quoted just sound annoyed about the fact that the LLMs aren’t siding with them on the culture war, and would sing another tune if they did.
