| idk if im speaking out of my ass here, i dunno much. anyways
the freemasons are close knit people, the benefit to being in their group is social alliance. (i'm not sure if i should phrase it that way, heh) they pledge to be in the group, they have their brothers backs when anyone needs help, if one of them is at war, the rest of them are too, they do things for eachother, help one another progress in their business endeavors, and progress in life generally. let's say one freemason invented something he thinks will help society stay safe (spying on US citizens, for example), other freemasons in the congress will push to mandate it.
i think it's much more complex than i put it, but yeah, it's an alliance, a social alliance. in person relationships are more personal, more invested into. i'd be hard to get a group of people on the internet invested into eachother as much as the freemasons are invested.
