I think it helps to understand that everyone experiences doubt no matter how zealous they appear. Your words may not be listened to in the moment, but they'll be heard. Sometimes it takes years but every scratch you put into the monolith hastens its eventual crumble. Besides, when your alternative is to strengthen it through adversity, you literally have nothing to lose. Not even that self-righteous satisfaction of telling them off is real - you're just filling a role built into the conflict by the person you should be mad at. It's counter-productive.
