  1. Wow the very first lines she speaks is about how SHE could have started a company herself instead of following him... later she keeps saying so much narcissist stuff all about her, and her and her... She TOTALLY sounds like co-conspirator who now tries to clean her image.

  2. True, it's a red flag but there are some actual legit self-help books that aren't trying to get you signed unto a seminar, Manuel J. Smith book "When I say no, I feel guilty" is a great example of actual literature that helps a person, cousin learned to get independent from her over-controlling mother after she borrowed that from my mum, and there was a pretty decent book on OCD written by a recovered sufferer I can't put the name on, it helped a guy I know. But I don't think anyone markets these ACTUALLY helpful books as self-help, they don't talk about buzzwords like "personal growth", they're more in popular psychology section.

  5.  @j.boog612  my local cult leader who was just apprehended openly pilfered from Scientology and auntie in his cult didn't even deny it, said he listed Hubbard as one of people he respects (they claimed to be Templars, got arrested after planning a coup).

  6. It depends. Read up on Henry Ford, his company absolutely acted like a cult, and I assume so does Tesla now... but majority only have minor traits without being overly cultish or controlling people's personal lives, dress style and habits outside of work, social media etc.

  7. 42. The answer to life, the universe, and everything is actually 42. Has been calculated long ago.

  8.  @yeskaitlyn8029  yes, political cults are NOT different from religious or commercial ones. Crypto bros are the same thing as MLM, come on, NFTs were just Herbalife for men, and any populist with cult following is not much different from a guru.

  9.  @CRneu  my aunt joined a cult out of nowhere, despite having higher education and all, but she had years of doing stuff like working esoteric shops, once even seducing Orthodox monk, as she was very performative in her church visits. She tried to cure grandma's heart with homeopathy... less than a year after funeral the entire cult was arrested for planning to overthrow Ukrainian government and let invaders in. I think the biggest red flag was when she and mum were in university together, auntie was very receptive of professors offering special extracurricular "trainings" and fell for phrases like "I see great potential in you"... one of those, mum (they were in the same group) wanted to join one for kicks, but teacher outright denied to let her into a PAID seminar, assume because she was outspoken and nonconformist, while her sister ate everything up, and now we have to take care of her cat.

  10. Oh he's a grifter who totally playing along with it until it isn't profitable so he distances, see how he started dropping likes of JFK Jr. and the Jan 6 rioters who aren't getting pardons... at this point someone suggested that MAGAs might try to bonk him to get JD Vance as a powerless face of the whole corporate squid that just wants more power, lower taxes and regulations at expense of people.

  11. Our family friends claimed they're Templars and it all started with claiming that Egyptians couldn't build the pyramids. Other "Templar" group was arrested near me recently. Cops found weapons and plans to overthrow government and turn city over to invaders. During martial law. In Ukraine... Ubisoft were right!
