#CultsInc
watching *Strange Journey*, the Rocky Horror documentary, on the Fandango app with ads bc I am cheap

the ad they keep showing on breaks is very specifically for LL Bean duck boots

not even LL Bean in general!

only the duck boots

and I truly cannot think of a worse mismatch of ad and audience 😂

I don't think people understand single person cults enough and also why the US fucking loves a cult.
I kinda think that at some point we need to take seriously the idea that society as it is constituted now is driving a lot of people completely mad

Cults are weird
Trump fan says the deep state is making gas prices high: "He's trying his best. He's being opposed every step of the way. What can you do? That's like with gas prices. Yeah, they're high, but, I mean, I think they're being manipulated ... I think they're taking advantage of it."

As they say, every accusation is a confession. Starts his book by talking about his parties with actual, literal cults lol, then goes on to talk about some of the rest of us who wrote about said cults as being in a cult.
Roose does a very nice job signaling in the second paragraph what sort of book this will be.

He decided to write it the night after partying with ketamine-snorting effective accelerationists.

He isn’t e/acc himself, but he hangs with that crowd and accepts their premises as newsworthy,

In the history of catastrophically stupid cults, you MAGA lobotomy laureates are—hands down, without a doubt, bar none—the f’ng dumbest.

And it’s not even close.

Sure. So people think of cults as groups. But there are lots of cases where cults are just two people: the mark and the clut leader.

Slightly bigger are family cults.

If you've deconstructed or studied cults, this is cult language. Also hallmarks of cults, exploitation of labor, self-sacrifice of members, high entrance & exit costs, ends justify the means mentality, distinguishable vernacular/language, transcendent mission, charismatic leaders to name a few.

What is it about Secret Societies, Satanic Rituals, Ancient Worshiping Cults, Human Sacrifices, this shit gives me nightmares. Out of all things, this keeps me up at night because... they are real! Have been around a long time. From pagans to modern day cults. They are terrifying. Happy #Halloween 🎃

People are commenting on the bone dry delivery but he's quite right.

All cults resemble one another and MAGA is a cult like any other.
Fox: Why are you here this morning?

Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

We're cults, we're cults in kilts
We roam around the highlands, hands on our hilts
We're cults, we're cults in kilts
We'll sacrifice you to Shoggoth without any guilt!

(this sounds more like it's @cstross.bsky.social 's cult, tho)

i don't think videogames are an art form that deserve to be squandered by businessmen with no moral compass, techlord fascists, and warring small business owner cults. i don't think they deserve this fate.

Cults are almost always just abusive family dynamics writ large. A lot of people who end up in cults come from abusive families and are repeating that dynamic in another "family" that often starts off seeming loving. It's pretty common for cults to call themselves families 🙅‍♀️
