Some of them use it as an excuse to downpunch, to abuse others performing less than them. Like shitty managers. It annoys everyone around them.

Some of them are beautiful people, but they sacrifice themselves trying to go saving people who are full of bullshit and are just stringing them along. Beautiful people who fall for the games of those trying to play God among humans. It annoys the hell out of people who love this latter example of a martyr.

The former example might be the BS asshole stringing along this latter example of another kind of martyr. Along with anyone else naive enough to play the asshole's games.

These are just two examples I've known of. They seem to have a pattern of dialectics. Asshole martyr hanging around with wonderful but naive martyrs. It's almost like the assholes try to pretend they have the nice martyr's qualities, while self projecting everything they're ashamed about on the nice martyr.
