Thinking about the intersection of #politics, #mentalhealth & #religion.
Reflections: if one comes from high authoritarian parents, high religiosity, perhaps more prone to be #republican. More authoritative parents, less religiousity, more prone to be #democrat.
More experiences of complex childhood #trauma more susceptible to falling in with a #cult. Would love your thoughts/experiences.
#MarkVicente (#NXIVM) said in #TheVow ”No one joins a #cult. No one. You join something you think is good and will help, and then you realized you were fucked.” (So sorry, I was wrong. You don’t need to have been traumatized to be susceptible to get recruited in a cult).
Evil cult leaders manipulate. As Bonnie, his wife who got out earlier from NXIVM than Mark said, you’ve got to #TrustYourGut (& get out before you’re in too deep).
LICSW @justiceLICSW@toad.socialReflection question: are #MikeFlynn #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #AlexJones #SteveBannon #RogerStone #cult (or cultish) leaders?
Or am I simplifying complex issues? They sell lies to make it sound like they have answers. They have no answers but hate & fear; their intentions are nefarious.
How does it help to understand them as cult leaders?
People might pause & reflect on THEIR involvement.
Sadly, unlikely bc #CognitiveDissonance!
Lock up the #fraudsters.
After all, they ARE all fraudsters
