    Ever wondered how cult members end up being brainwashed? It’s just a more extreme version of the ‘normal’ propaganda we consume every day.

    You are part of a group.

    Your group wants you to think alike.

    Conform to the group.

    We read about cult members blindly following their leader and turn around, thinking ‘this could never happen to me’ . As if we all have not the same psychological weaknesses like they do. As if all media is not constantly feeding us how life should be lived, according to those in power.
