The whole concept of Entheta is not new and us in very common use today. All cults have their own buzzword for it.
Take the cults of woke and feminism for instance. Any disagreement or deviation from the narrative will get you labeled as racist, or bigoted or misogynistic, et al .
Same deal, but differing cults.
Keep up the dissention and you will be fair gamed by them as well. The levels vary according to the particular cult and how malignant they are..
Take a look at all the various groups out there and listen to what they say, but pay even closer attention to what they actually do, especially to those that may not agree with them or have fallen out of favour.
That will show you what the group's true colours really are.
If you would like a more in depth study on cults in general, i would recommend reading Steve Hassan's book, "combating cult mind control ".
Steve is a psychiatrist who was once quite high up in the Moonie cult.
Erin Pizzey, the lady who fouded the first domestic violence shelters in the UK, is also a victim of feminist persecution. Her book, "this way to the revolution " is her story about it all.
I like your post a lot. But there is one thing that I can't get behind. . .
I am very familiar with Steve Hassan's work and the Moonie Cult, et al. I was a fan of his outstanding whistleblowing on cult phenomena. But in recent years he seemed to "jump the shark" and begin publishing
TDS materials and lectures. Pretty shocking that a master of cult indoctrination could himself fall victim to
the many distortions, propaganda and outright lies of the cult of Woke-ology.
But then, after some time passed......
Hassan sort of teamed up with another dude that I thought was doing a great job of exposing the COS (Cult of Scientology) online---Chris Shelton. The duo fed off each-other's very ridiculously biased and wacky gaslighting theories. That was the end of my curiosity about their body of work. Seemed to me that they lacked even the most basic 'anti-cult" defenses and 'critical thinking skills' that they were boasting about. Because they had blindly slipped into and/or been seduced by yet another cult. The cult of woke haters & bullshitters.
Very sorry to post what might be considered horrible (and "impossible") revelations about both of those dudes, who did some extremely great work before they were sucked into the gravitational field of the ATCCA ("Anti-Trump-Cliche-Chanting-Association"). They claim to have discovered the "mental illness" that
half of America's voters suffer from that force them to do very harmful and irrational things, such as vote for candidates that they like.
Apologies in advance for this post, I would guess it will result in a KR, Non-Enturbulation Order and possibly a declare/disconnection notice in my mailbox if i don't 'cease & desist' and 'come to my senses', LOL.
It's just that---I hate when cult
gurus' & experts can't demonstrate any of the the magical powers they are selling. Bummer!
[ none of the above affects my
personal like for Steve & Chris. I am sure they are "very fine people". I believe even Trump stated that there are "very fine people on both sides" of his Nazi organization, lol ].
relaxxxxxxxx, it's a joke!
