the answer to what happens when awareness of how you've been manipulated grows, is to shortcircuit that thought to avoid shame and humiliation. instead sublimate your identity even further to the manipulator, and grow the cult even more

to someone who has been unfairly victimized, the process of understanding how that can happen in the world, that there are problems with the status quo, is a matter of coming to terms with the injustice. and then be rightfully angry
to someone who has never been victimized due to privilege, where the status quo is a matter of their benefit, there is this immature thinking that victimization is only a matter of personal shame and personal failure. the idea of facing that sends them into irrational anger
they can never admit they have been conned. even if it means doubling tripling down on their victimization, even sublimating their entire identity to a cult. it's preferable to the shame
any lie will do. hard denial is their bedrock
this immaturity is all they can offer. it helps to extend toxic status quo, but it is a weakness that eventually fails them and their system in the end
