Interesting watching this the day after the presidential election 🙁

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear regular black suit.
Great talk
Super terrible haircut
Great now do the American political parties 😅
The handsmaid tale isn't a cult tho. its a distopic world where women as just there to procreate. Elizabeth's carachter isn't following she's trying to survive
I feel like this reminds me of any religious fundamental group eg. evangelical Christianity, radical Islam, etc.
whoever did this guy's hair did him dirty
There needs to be a special entity for cults. They are so large you can’t get out by yourself. You click like or comment it looks like they assume your affiliated. I just want out of it. Its taken over three years to figure it out.
It's really weird how much cults parallel abusive relationships and friend groups. They may not think of it as a cult, but it actually is one.
Are cult leader aware of their crime ? the fact that they put people in such a community abuse ? Genuine question, because I would naturally think that they are so convinced by their own madness that they don't realize the hurt they are causing
the way he talked about the seminar settings etc when referencing nxivm. Replace NXIVM with southern baptist and replace seminar setting with the classic revival. Often times days on end breaking you down. Ending in great realization AKA receiving the holy ghost. Bam you Cults hiding behind christ based faith aka evangelics and southern baptist.
Trust your gut!
Sounds like the alphabet people.
“I’ve been under the of the FBI, Homeland Security and The Justice League” 🍿 😮
I’m in. Let’s get this thing going
👌👏👍
I think people forget, that even main stream religions are culty. Oh, it always makes me laugh when you see someone who is a hard-core evangelical Christian pointing fingers at other religions and calling then cults. Just because your cult is more main stream doesn’t mean it’s not a cult.
the screaming/group mockery mentioned here is also known as 'keening', a ritual that also takes place in african villages immediately accompanying clitoral butchering (aka female circumcision), the most ridiculously, unimaginably painful 'surgery' known to personhood, and whose purpose is to welcome young girls into the fold….
i wonder how this guy feels about todays US politics scene if it feels culty at all
Seventh-Day Adventist Church
Even this Rick Ross is better than that Police Officer😂😂😂🎉🎉
@9:31 So did he deprogram them or not?
MLMs are pretty much the same.
When I was studying psychology, I went to their gatherings to observe people.
The stupid stuff I heard would immediately give me a migraine, others thought the same, yet most of them were too desperate and not very smart … so they gave it a try anyway, wasting their money and time.
The scene in MIDSOMMAR with the women crying with her was insane.
Every time I watch the movie, I want to scream with them … powerful stuff.
The movie is amazing, thanks to all the hidden symbolism it's a true masterpiece.
Now, make religions go away, please!!!
Can this guy save Bitcoin cult members?
How calculated and self aware are cult leaders usually? To what extent is their indoctrinating practices intentional? Are most cult leaders surprised to be described that way? Or do they only act surprised to their followers and use it as a tool to create that us-vs-them mentality?
Nah it can't happend all i love to be alone.
The scene of Dani crying in Midsommar freaks me out because of everything else going on
We continue to be awakened to the reality and complexity of the world
Thank you
THE DOOR CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP PRAISE CHAPLE ALL LEGALISM
Exhibit F that Matt Smith was put on the screen to terrify us with charisma.
You gotta be the most empathetic and patient person in the world to do this job for over 40 years, like I can't hold an online conversation with a flat earther for over 20 responses without feeling the need to call them a different species of organism.
I had the same experiences with Christian spiritual retreats.
Midsummer was an effed-up movie. I watched it, and I was just freaked out. It was so bizarre.
The absolute nerve of this guy to call the Branch Davidians a cult. Only an insane person points and laughs at innocent Americans burned to death by their own government.
There isn't any difference between a cult and a religion.
