I was reading news, clicking links, happened onto this opinion piece, and immediately thought of your question.
It occurs to me that they are incapable of empathy, even sympathy, for their "troops." They demand enormous sacrifices, largely without ever having made those same sacrifices themselves. When they say to let your children go hungry to pay tithing, have they so "spiritually nurtured" their own children in this manner, or experienced any fear of needing to do so?
There are hundreds of examples of demanding that members behave in ways in situations that they themselves never (again?) expect to face. Becoming a Q is a release from most callings, a windfall of privilege, supported by an army - a "religious industrial complex."
They ask sacrifices with empty words of condemnation for those whom feel the pain of "failures" which are logistically impossible to overcome. They refuse to acknowledge that even even those who "lose the battle" contributed to the "war effort." They demand perfection in "winning," and ignore the sacrifices as real costs to real people. To the Q, there are only "winners or losers."
In short, if you are not a healthy white straight male* who "runs" your family with an iron fist, you are one of the "losers" in life, for whom they have no compassion.
It was the contrast between two presidents, neither of whom had my vote, that helped me to see the Q more clearly. I used to have fun making fun of Bush, who I've now learned "took a knee" in behalf of his fallen warrior, for the sake of that warrior's small child.

They are a "fake Q," who have no clue how to lead.
*In no way is this intended to disparage the group as a whole; it merely identifies the Q.
