This couldn't be a bullshit cult, because I'd never fall for it. Look at all these people, it certainly can;t be the case that everyone here is the kind of idiot that falls for a cult?
Therefore, Brother Lem really -does- need all my monies!
Never say never.
They're victims because common and predictable ticks in human behavior have been manipulated - doesn't mean they aren't assholes, ofc..but still..to some extent or another the people roped in by a conman have been victimized.
So by that logic, we're all susceptible to being completely taken advantage of by someone who can simply manipulate our predictable 'ticks.' We're just lucky enough that we have not run into such a conniving, intelligent conman.
I'm sure you don't believe that.
It seems to me that there's a very small portion of the population that would actually fall for stuff like that. Though I am much more willing to use the word 'victim' for a cult type situation than something like people buying merch off of infowars without knowing that Alex Jones has been putting on an act for years.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
