I agree with him. So I guess that makes it a consensus.
I’ve done a fair amount of reading over cults, and recently....I sat down to blog an interesting aspect of cults. You basically need ten conditions to fall into place...there might be more....but those ten were always necessary for cult status. Without those ten, it’s not a cult.
From the ten, there’s only one single condition that Climate Believers lack, a mystic background/mystic rituals/mystic chants. The other nine all fall into place to one degree or another.
The Gov. World Leaders are the cult’s leaders....Going ‘Greenies’ and such are the faithful followers. The media is it’s marketing branch. The IMF and World Bank it’s money laundering Institutes.
