Anti-cult activism: Hate, disgruntlement or something else?

A good-faith attempt to address the question of why so many ex members choose to take action or talk about their experience.  If you'd like to support Stephen's charity bike ride from Lands End to John o'Groats you can do so here:   To reach out to us: https://www.culthackers.com/ To become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/culthackers/posts
