There are a lot of people who spend a significant part of their day posting over and over again about Elon Musk, and congratulating each other for it. I assume that's not being a zealot. It's like the people posting about "Putin's cock" 100 times a day who think that it's actually the other people who are obsessed with him.
Correct. Anti-zealotry is another form of zealotry; like atheists who are militantly atheist rather than just chill about it, but all of that too is just normal people being normal.
