Do-it-yourself cults - are you in one?
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
Lots of groups in these polarised times get accused by their opponents of 'being in a cult'. And sometimes, actually quite often, they have a point. But beware, because half the time while you're pointing to someone else's cultish behaviour, you might be ignoring the self-same telltale signs in your own. So what are the aspects of actual real-life cults that many people have now embraced for themselves? What are the smaller number of differences? And if you find yourself in that position, how do you get out of it? Let's discuss.
