They are mostly orthogonal imho. I can be strong without being in-group, and vice versa. In a group whose ideology is worship of power, then I can see a relationship but they aren't at all the same. For example, there are those who take the role of the weak who are worshipping power (and sometimes wanting it) and a defined power structure, like people who identify with being 'betas' and incels.
