SECTUAL

"Psychotherapist Dr Hugh Willbourn says lockdown zealots are displaying all the classic signs of cult members by doubling down on their beliefs despite having been proven wrong."


No shit? 


"In an article on his website, Willbourn highlights the work of respected social psychologist Leon Festinger, who analyzed the beliefs of a UFO cult in the 1950’s who believed that a flying saucer would rescue them from the apocalypse."

Again. SEXY!

"However, after the catastrophic earthquakes and floods they expected to hit the United States never arrived and their beliefs were totally disproved, “the cult members would become not less but more convinced of their beliefs.”

Festinger identified five conditions that needed to be met in order for the cult members to double down on their beliefs and avoid cognitive dissonance."

OMG! Gotta love cults! Well, their mechanisms...from an engineering standpoint. 





They should eventually evolve into a sect but not all are "destined." Also get some right proper conditioning; not this egoistic bullshit. 

Just going to say this though. Zero research was done on the "psychotherapist." Could be an idiot with an online degree. 

The whole world is behaving like a cult, so directing it towards anyone specific is kinda stupid. 

The leader of the cult is "the news." 

Who even watches "the news" except REALLY old people anyway? 

It's like there's anything hardly worth watching on syndicated television anyway, my god, much less "the news."

Every regime is a cult. Ours is the cult of consumerism.
