Ahem! Who's in a cult?

[PredFan]

Here are things members of a cult believe, do, and say:

1. They believe things that are clearly not true, such as men can have babies, human fetuses are not human, men competing in women's sports is fair and good, and the MSM is unbiased.

2. Whatever the "Issue of the moment" is, they accept and support it without the slightest inquiring as to whether it's even true.

3. They are completely blind to what their side does and will, in the span of mere weeks, condemn the other side for doing the same exact thing.

4. They say "Believe the science" but deny the science that they disagree with.

5. They will insist on eliminating speech that disagrees with their orthodoxy by any means necessary, even violence.

6. They will hold two opposite and often opposing sides of the same belief without a single concern. Such as being feminists and supporting men in advertising and women's sports.

7. They will change the language to fit their agenda and even insist upon the world changing with them.

It's quite clear that the true cult is wokeism, progressivism and leftist ideology.

Well there is the "Climate Change" sub-cult too.....or is it a religion now?

 

[luiza]

All those Christians .
The ones who spend half their time telling us how blessed they are and the rest of the time proselytising and telling non cultists that they are damned .

Lucifer and I call them arrogant wankers which he told me is a technical term for those that will be sacrificed for fuel when the Ice Age arrives

They also have the Baby Butcher Death Cult.
There is the Anti-2A Cult.
Anti-Biology Cult.
There should be a limit to the number of cults they can belong to

And they're all so broke, since they're too lazy to work. Don't Cults require that you pay dues? How can you belong to something if you have no money for your new god to suck from you?

Which one of those Christians are bringing down the full force of The State, in order to compel all nonbelievers into joining them?

This passage from 1984 explains the leftist mindset perfectly.

Only the disciplined mind can see reality, Winston. You believe that reality is something objective, external, existing in its own right. You also believe that the nature of reality is self-evident. When you delude yourself into thinking that you see something, you assume that everyone else sees the same thing as you. But I tell you, Winston, that reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the Party holds to be the truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party. That is the fact that you have got to relearn,

A cult seems is a closed social organization which perpetuates its beliefs by restricting information available to its members.

Mom already feeds and clothes them. She might as well pay their cult fees too.

.

Yeah, probably.

Although by the time I was old enough to use a board like this one, my mom had stopped paying for ANYTHING for me.

Brilliant passage.

Thanks.

For sure wokeism, progressivism, leftist ideology has become very cultish like but may be too widespread to be identified as an actual 'cult' which usually is a fairly small group of misguided, obsessed, and/or starstruck people.

But the cultish nature is certainly everything you described.

The "green movement". When you look out the window in May and see snow on the ground and you still believe the globe is warming, you are in a cult.

 

[luiza]

All of them . Proselytisers using the imaginary State somewhere up there in the sky and headed by a miserable and selfish Big One dishing out eternal punishment. All attempted by fear and guilt .
What a charmer !!

The "imaginary State" isn't going to wave a gun in my face if I don't comply.

Don't forget that due to warming the average temperature of snow has risen .

Well, I believe it's warming and will continue that trend, despite periods of retreat, until the next ice age as the Earth has always done. The question is how much has human activity accelerated that? And even if it has had some effect on global environment, climate, etc. as all creatures do, humans are here and here to stay, and we might as well accept that and look for practical and efficient and common sense ways to help humankind adapt to an ever changing climate as all creatures do.

The cultish part comes when the 'woke'/'progressive'/'left, instead of thinking critically about that, just attacks or shuts down any voices of those holding any opinion other than what the 'cult' demands be accepted as gospel.

Fear , Panic produce results that a gun cannot match .
No quick death according to Cultists .
Desolation , remorse , guilt , wet trousers , eternaL torture .
