The thing is a big chunk of us seem to be susceptible to cults, even after the facts around the inevitable abuse that occurs are aired publically.
The Amish, who have aided and abetted numerous cases of known child abuse (let alone the unknown abuse), are to some people wonderful examples of how we could learn to live with nature and build amazing barns.
Osho, who oversaw a commune that neglected children such that they were targets of predatory sexual abuse and that became so deranged they attempted to poison the local population in a bizarre plot to rig a political election in their favour, is to this day venerated by many as someone who could do no wrong.
I wonder if it is a weird desire for infantilism, a perfect womb like state of contentment you can attain if you give up your critical faculties.
There's a larger group, I call the mob or hand-maidens who aren't part of the cult proper but enable it by perpetuating myths. Many on the left are in this position, they seem unwilling to accept reality and keep perpetuating the trans myths without engaging on relevant details.
Is it because their personality requires society to be 'progressing', otherwise they fall into a pit o nihilism, or is it just they hate the political Right so much they will sacrifice children to maintain the ego position of 'being right' and the Right being wrong
