See, now you’re the one leaping to conclusions. I didn’t say that all of your talking points are actual talking points from actual cults. I am confused why even some of them are.
If you can point me to someone who felt “I wrote thousands of words” is, in and of itself, a solid argument for you being trustworthy, please link me to it. I need to do them an epistemic favor.
I was using “charismatic” in the sense of having enough of it to hold the group together. If he doesn’t have enough charisma to do that, then he’s kinda worthless as a commanding officer, neh?
Your claim is false. I wanted to know at what level to hold this conversation. I legitimately can’t tell if you’re waving a bunch of “this is a cult” red flags because you’re trying to be honest about the risks here, because you don’t realize they’re red flags, or because you’re playing N-Dimensional chess and these red flags are somehow all part of your plan.
