Quite controversial...
Quote:
Good question - what is a "cult"? Some follow the "BITE" model... (due to Steve Hassan, who's big in the anti-cult community)... which stands for Behavior control Information control Thought control Emotion control I guess the idea is a "cult" needs to control all of those things! Two things have stimulated my investigation here... One is Landmark (aka the Landmark Forum and Landmark Education)! A friend of mine got heavily into it... Those heavily into it always give them many many hours of free labor, as volunteers - even though Landmark is a for-profit company! (That the followers are giving so much free labor - particularly to a for-profit company - is a red flag in my opinion...) The second is Trump... It dawned on me that the phrase "Fake News" is both a thought-stopping technique, and also an information-control technique... As soon as some people hear it - they stop thinking, and stop investigating... Pretty ingenious... Best wishes, Dien |
