There’s got to be a mass snap-out-of-it weapon we can deploy. How are ex-cult members de-programmed the quickest?
I recall that at some point deprogramming was abandoned. There were lawsuits and a concerted media attack on the process, especially since it often involved abduction and holding people in isolation. Typical cabal pushback, IMO.
Cults vary. Some are *soft*-—they aren’t harmful, just loony. They involve emotions, human connections and I’ve seen story after story about personal and sexual abuse that don’t seem to matter to the member. They still excuse the leader(s) and retain the allegiance.
In many cases, I think a leader could make a public confession and the adherents would still love them and be in denial.
We were just discussing a family member who is a prog. We decided that no matter what happens, if the person was red-pilled, they’d never admit it because they’d be too embarrassed.
