If you haven’t escaped a cult you might not understand, but cults control their members in similar ways, and understanding how one operates will help you to avoid others.

Look up the BITE model

Brings up other, equally bad if not worse cults - specifically a Chinese cult

Whoa whoa guys, let’s not get crazy - this is about Scientology, remember? America bad, amirite?

The Chinese government hates Falun Gong, so if anybody has a pro-China bias, it’s the person agitating against Falun Gong in an unrelated thread.

And I’m saying it’s weird to try to shut down conversations about cults in a conversation about cults.
