Finally, A Client Who Understands

I am looking respectfully

I need y’all to understand that cults are like addiction. Anyone has the capacity to become an addict. Your drug is out there, and given the right circumstances at the wrong time, you can end up addicted to it. The exact same is true for cults. Your cult is out there. Given the right circumstances at the wrong time, you can end up a member.

The metaphor goes even further. Addicts are still people, they deserve support and assistance. People don’t get addicted to something because they’re stupid or didn’t try hard enough. Terrible circumstances simply reached a point where being high was less painful than being sober. Nobody is immune to that.

Cult members are still people, they deserve support and assistance. People don’t get into cults because they’re stupid or didn’t look for red flags. Terrible life circumstances make one vulnerable to cult recruitment tactics, these groups are predatory, and actively seek to use from vulnerable people. Nobody is immune to that.

If you think you’re too smart or too educated to join a cult, you’ve already lost the first battle.

Your vibe is oddly bitter and reeks of insecurity

sounds like someone needs to go in the water

i kiss you on the mouth and end my turn
