theyâre a side character thatâs been onscreen for 5 minutes to YOU. Iâve known them for hundreds of years
Park Jinyoung - being forced to regret his dark past - part 1
This is honestly just a 35 second video of the MC and Jackson manhandling Jinyoung to force him to revisit his dark past
Gays heard the phrase "louder than gods revolver and twice as shiny" and took it as dress code instructions.
Personally, I'm not seeing the problem here.
He belongs to his company he belongs to the state he belongs to the wife and kids heâs hiding but after that? Heâs mine.
the eve having mirotic-level fame as a nontitle trackâŠ.

I love cassies bc tvxq are not flops but I swear every cassie loves flops. It's bc the flops have the vocalists
You cracked the code
experience keyâs (now infamous) instagram post in itâs full subbed glory. (source: shinelikeoxygen)
Changkyun was asked to choose the best complimentn speech given to him from his hyungs but at the end he picked all of them and ran around like a tiny baby. How adorable!Â
trying to tell potterheads to stop buying harry potter and its merch (yes even secondhand, yes even pirating it, yes even making it yourself) is like talking to a brick wall i swear to god
My hypothesis is that in like 10 years gen z is gonna have a big cult boom the way the boomers did in the 70s
Itâs already happening on tik tok. Thereâs a fun new thing going round thatâs citing common symptoms of depression and anxiety as signs youâre about to have your awakening and that you are actually an alien and the reason you donât feel right is because youâre home sick for your own galaxy. So thatâs fun.
agreed, and i donât mean this in a âhaha gen z is so dumb theyâre gonna join a tiktok cult lmaoâ i mean that conditions are perfect for the formation of cults right now.
high unemployment and a lot of underpaying, pointless jobs = people are looking for things to do with their life, a purpose
skyrocketing cost of living = most young people will not be able to live on their own, meaning some will end up in a group living situation with people interested in recruiting them
itâs a time of great cultural and political upheaval, nothing feels real, people are desperate for meaning and human connection. cults promise that
there is a new wave of acceptance and understanding for ways of life outside the norm, which is great! âŠexcept for when cult leaders tell you abusive and controlling practices are just their culture, their religion, their lifestyle, their beliefs, their tradition, and if you disrespect it you are the problem
social media influencers have already shown us how easy it is to build a cult of personality and attract people from anywhere in the world who are interested in the exact brand you are selling
spirtuality is having a boom, as are things like astrology, crystals, tarot, meditation, energy⊠those things arenât bad on their own but they are often used as tools of cult spaces
wellness. i think a lot of people are already in wellness cults. you can make people do a lot of things in the name of âwellnessâ and a big factor of maintaining a cult is keeping members in a state of decreased cognitionâŠ.. like say, with regular fasting
i think people are just unaware in general of how cults function, especially because the satanic panic was a big stupid false alarm that convinced the youths that dungeons and dragons or doom were gateways to cults, which are scary evil child murdering, satan-worshipping gangs. people donât know how to spot them in real life.
as a cultic abuse survivor with a half-decade of academic research on how these groups work, here are some quality, public-friendly educational resources to help you learn what high control groups look like, how they work, and the methods they use to influence, draw in, and control/coerce literally anyone.
education about this subject is SO importantâhigh control environments and their methods for influencing and controlling people often go totally unnoticed unless youâve learned about them, and thereâs a long history of mainstream misinformation on what thought reform and cults are, what they look like, and how they work. thereâs also a huge misconception that âno way that could be me!â when unfortunately, because of how high control influence works, itâs possible for anyone to get drawn into a high control group or relationship without realizing thatâs what it actually is.
Cults/High Control Groups and Influence 101:
BITE Model by Steven Hassan: criteria for identifying undue influence and high control groups/cults
âOn Destructive Groupsâ section of BITE Model Analysisâ Resources page. The collection of links here are all to quality, highly respected references and resources (including videos) on Cult and High Control Group 101 information.
A Little Bit Culty podcast. This podcast is hosted by former NXIVM members Sarah and Nippy, who are now cult education and survivor healing advocates. Episode 2 (titled âCults 101âł with guest Steven Hassan, creator of the BITE model) introduces what cults are, and why humans are universally vulnerable to cult abuse.
âIs Trump a Cult Leader? A Scientific Perspectiveâ by Telltale. This video has a catchy title, but the creator does a great job on 1) knowing his stuff, and 2) explaining whatâs required to be a cult, and what does/doesnât qualify as a cult. The video also has really interesting insight/analysis on the current conspiracy theory cult movements we have today (QAnon, flat earthers, anti-vaxxers). The channel is a good source on both those subjects, as well as groups like the Jehovahâs Witnesses.
TV Series/Films (Bit More In-Depth):
Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath (Emmy award-winning TV series, itâs on US Netflix now). Really digs into the specifics of Scientology, but they do a great job portraying to the general public how cults operate, and how even a destructive cult can recruit people, cover up abuses, evade the law, and keep members within the group.
Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult (TV Series, available on Amazon Prime)
The Last Stop: The True Story of the Elan School (Warning: All of the TWs. Seriously.) Film on the Troubled Teen Industry, aka what happened when the War on Drugs combined with the 1960s anti-drug cult Synanon and LGAT seminars to create a still-active billion dollar industry of cult-based institutional child abuse in the name of teen rehabilitation. There is actual footage, it is deeply upsetting. Use the trailer to gauge your limits. Spoiler: fuck Nancy Reagan.
If you canât watch the Last Stop, or even before you do, watch the video âThe Elan School: Death by Misinformationâ (it has its own bullet point later, too). Itâs shorter, and the creator does well in giving you information from The Last Stop in a less harrowing/triggering delivery format. The video highlights the cult history of the US rehab and residential treatment industries. Also, once again, fuck Nancy Reagan.
Wellness/Self-Help Cults, including Corporate Cult Seminars/Workshops:
âWhat is the Landmark Forum?â by iiluminaughtii. A 101 on the cult corporate seminar industry. Landmark is one of the most well-known examples of a corporate seminar/workshop cult.
The channel above goes over a *lot* of the self-help/wellness industry cult groups/businesses, including MLMs. Iâd genre her videos as true crime, but the research is really solid, the presentation is respectful, and thereâs a good balance of education and entertainment.
Also check out Lifespring and Large-Group Awareness Training (LGAT) seminars. These are 1000% endemic, and yes, theyâre high control groups. Their seminar methods are all various implementations of abusive high control tactics. Not good :(
Cult Origins of and Ongoing Destructive Cult Presence in the Modern US Drug Rehabilitation, Residential Treatment, and Troubled Teen Industries (including the origins of anti-LGBTQ conversion therapy camps):
âHelp at Any Costâ by Maia Szalavitz (canât recommend enough)
âThe Elan School: Death by Misinformationâ by iiluminaughtii. Includes a good 101 background on the Synanon cult and est seminars as the origins of the methods and ideology behind the modern US rehab industry, including residential treatment for adults and minors with substance abuse or mental health issues.

Some More Podcasts!:
Scientology: Fair Game Podcast with Leah Remini and Mike Rinder (theyâre really fantastic)

This list seems really long, but I actually cut a lot out. Happy to field asks if thatâs helpfulâthese links are meant to be easy-access for a general audience, but there are many more *really* fantastic resources besides these ones Iâve mentioned above :)
