The problem I have with an discourse surrounding 'cults' is that there is always an assumption that everyone else isn't in one.

A comparitive analysis would be more on the level so to speak.

Your 'cult' is so much worse than the main cult. Something along those lines.

my cult is much better then your's. gfy 🤪

a cult requires an individual or a group that is using manipulative techniques to ensnare innocent, gullible and naive people to become their unwitting servants

so anything that doesn't involve serving some individual's interests, or a group of individuals, is not a cult

typical cult brainwashing strategy to even corrupt the definition of what a cult means, so you don't think there's a way out of the cage

like a state?

Exactly like a state.

We all have our cults.

Bitcoin

Parenting

Nutrition

Hobbies

I always ask the question ' what is the smallest amount of people that can constitute a cult?'.

Some people say three,

others say two,

many more say a larger number than that.

Nobody says one.

It reveals something about the idea of a cult.

I feel like a cult needs to have follower(s)

It does of course.

Are cult members prisoners would you say?

Without followers they’re loan wolves.

Followers follow until they can’t be led any further, so I wouldn’t say they’re prisoners but I’m sure leaving a cult is harder than entering.
