I won't delve any further since we have a dedicated thread for it, but the MAGA cult is a hell of a thing. If you'd call it a cult. If not, I'm not sure how else to define it.

AKA Pseudonym posted:Honestly, joining a cult sounds loving exhausting. Anybody know of any good ones that don't take a lot of commitment? Become a Trekkie!

Would you count Fraternities as cults? I infiltrated several and learned their secret handshake and other stuff.

deep dish peat moss posted:AA is kind of a step above other cults because there's no specific deity you need to worship, you have to find "your god" but that can be yourself, or movies, or art or whatever. It's just about finding one thing in your life and putting a lot of importance on it, and using it as a reason not to relapse. One could argue that using some cult like techniques might be helpful in dealing with addiction or other issues. Within reason of course.

It always struck me as odd that the Christian Scientists have such an amazing HQ in Boston. It's beautiful, in a brutalist way. The Mapparium is awesome.
