I joined a cult earlier this year actually, it's pretty comfy.

>joining
no
>starting
I'm not charismatic enough to have anybody follow me so it wouldn't pan out.

No, I've considered starting one though. It could be like the Alt-right version of Jim Jones' SJW cult.

nope. it's disgusting to think of some sociopathic manipulative asshole having control over me.

speaking of, what happened to that lain cult that was being advertised here? those who signed up were promised an afterlife. it seemed very sketchy.

Sure I have, I wouldn't mind drinking the Kool-Aid if I could get a cultist gf. I just don't know where to find one and how to sign up

It was not sketchy at all and everyone is still perfectly sane and healthy.

alright friendo

Already frequent one:

>decentralized; no active leader to speak of, just a few dead/powerless martyrs and an ideology.
>no physical location; takes place on semi-anonymized internet communication
>belief of being part of an elite, with inherent superiority and insight into the world.
>has a comprehensive, contradictory mythos explaining why anything non-members say or do that opposes the cult is wrong. And why cult members aren't very successful in life
>actively promotes members to blame outside factors for their problems, cementing their position in the cult, and minimizing any chance for change.

only some of the weak minded fall for that meme. not all robots think that way.

>>38847702
>outside factors
>not immutable internal and immediate factors

Enough do, case in point (>>38847798)

>>38847820
that wasn't a case in point you knob jockey

>>38847871
Sure it isn't. We'll take your word for it.

>>38847915
The post didn't demonstrate what you were saying, in fact it disagreed with your assessment of the place. How is that a case in point?

>>38847950
I'm agreeing with you man, you're 100% right and unquestionable. What more do you want?

I would love to join a local cult so badly. I have nothing to live for anymore. If the cult was based on Carl Jung teachings I would be completely devoted.

>>38847820
the post you are saying supports your point is saying the opposite thing. it says that we recognise there are some things that we can't change that have an effect on our lives

>>38847975
To see your reasoning why you thought you were demonstrating a case.

>>38847996
'Outside factors' is misleading. It's meant to convey cult members blaming factors outside their control, and it comes across as meaning factors outside themselves.

>>38847519
/r9k/ is already practically a cult.

>kills themselves in Nike Decades
>now Nike wont sell them anymore
fuck these guys

I'd join a white supremacist cult if they all weren't honeypots

Cults have always scared me, I think I'm somewhat intelligent but I've never really had more than a few friends so I don't know how I'd react to slowly being coerced into something by dozens if not hundreds or thousands of people who try to seem like a family. I don't know what I'd do if brought into that kinda environment. The prospect of losing the way I usually am to a cult is pretty horrifying.

Mass suicide via brainwashing and kool aid is Social Justice?

Wait that sounded different in my head, you may be right. Hm

>>38847977
Why not just start researching and living the values yourself? You'll stumble across others with similar ideologies.

>>38848129
Here's the scarier part. Cults are just a magnified ( albeit socially unacceptable) manifestation of the social conditioning nearly everyone is subject to. Unless you were born a hermit in a desert island, you've already been changed by those social mechanics; believing ideas that you don't even know aren't originally yours, making assumptions about things w/o thinking, etc.

No but his cult was inspired by communism and he was an avowed Maoist. It's also why he targeted mainly Blacks and other commies/ SJWs.

>>38847548
Is this the Lain fan club thing?

>>38848366
I was being whimsical anon but i enjoy the insight and will watch a documentary on it later, thanks.

It was literally the church of tumblr anon
