Cults accrue power to the hierarchy, by exploiting the population of cult members, at the expense of the cult members.
Every mortgaged 'home' leaser is an exploited Neoliberal cult member in that their utility to the cult is to extract wealth for lenders rather than to build healthy humane communities. The choice of social housing for healthy communities was removed from us by the Cult of Neoliberalism.
Zionism is a cult. Militarism is a cult. Nationalism is a cult. Patriarchy is a cult. The Manosphere is a cult.
Egalitarian cultures are an expression of evolution - Wealth-as-Power cults are an expression of degradation of evolution.
- Authoritarian Leader(s): A charismatic leader who demands unquestioning loyalty and holds supreme, unchallengeable authority, often presenting themselves as having special knowledge or divinity.
- Isolation and Control: Strict control over members' lives, isolating them from family, friends, and mainstream society to maintain dependence on the group.
- Thought Reform and Manipulation: Use of indoctrination techniques, such as sleep deprivation, constant lecturing, or repetitive chanting, designed to break down individual identity and create dependency.
- No Tolerance for Criticism: Questions or dissent are treated as treason or disloyalty, with no acceptable means of challenging the leadership.
- Exploitation: Members are often exploited for financial gain, sexual favors, or forced labor to benefit the leadership.
- "Us vs. Them" Mentality: Members are taught that the outside world is evil, lost, or doomed, and that the cult is the only path to salvation or enlightenment.
- Fear-Based Exit Barriers: Leaving is portrayed as catastrophic, often resulting in shunning by other members or threats of spiritual/physical harm.
- Religious: Unorthodox sects that often revolve around a prophet figure.
- Non-Religious: These can include commercial/financial cults, political cults, or self-help groups, which operate using the same psychological manipulation techniques.
According to researchers, a key distinction separating a "cult" from a passionate group or legitimate religion is the presence of harm and lack of freedom.
- "BITE"" Model: Coined by Steve Hassan, this refers to Behavioral, Information, Thought, and Emotional control.
- Financial Dishonesty: Lack of transparency regarding the group's finances.
- Victimization of Former Members: Intense, continued demonization of those who leave.
- Sense of Unworthiness: Members are constantly made to feel they are never "good enough"
The British Wealth-as-Power Establishment created the Zionist enclave as a weapon aimed at preventing pan-Arab solidarity emerging as an independent economic and political bloc after being 'freed' from the Ottoman Empire by the British and French victory in WWI.
At the time, Socialism was a hot topic amongst workers in the region. Socialism, not communism. Socialism with an Arabic Persian slant.
You see, the British Wealth-as-Power Establishment knew from history that the creativity and innovation of Arabic Academia fuelled major developments throughout history and that this creativity and innovation was, in the hands of a socialist system, much more socially and culturally productive than Capitalist Wealth Extraction and would eclipse the British Wealth-as-Power Establishments dominance, peacefully.
So they had to prevent that happening, just as they have done to every colonised land.
The continuity since Balfour of that geopolitical strategy of prevention is unbroken. The only person who might have broken it was Corbyn if he was allowed to ascend to the office of Prime Minister, with a majority in the House of Commons and a majority of solid activist support across the electorate, an engaged population hungry to send Blair et al to the ICC.
The British Wealth-as-Power Establishment would not let that happen.
McSwindly and Staremore were tasked with destroying Corbyn from within.
Labour loyalists inside the party and amongst the membership refused to protect Corbyn 'just to keep the tories out' and fell into a trap that enabled the British State to participate in the genocide of Gaza and the continuation of the Zionist expansionary war against pan-Arab unity and solidarity.
The English people prefer to think Israel is influencing their polity rather than admit that Israel is a weapon of the English Ruling Class, which would mean that the English people lost WWII and the British Empire won, and thus all the sacrifice of their ancestors was in vain, a con job. It would mean they would have to complete what Watt Tyler tried to start in 1381. And that is too uncomfortable for the English psyche.

Read and learn. You will be blown away, shocked, horrified, distraught.
There is no need to discuss the merits or demerits of Colonial Zionism, other than to note that Colonial Zionist Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing is what it is. The worst possible crime against humanity that an organised state can perpetrate.
There is no need to discuss the history of Colonial Zionism, other than to note that Zionist Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing is what it is and that the history of Colonial Zionism informs where genuine accountability for the many avoidable harms caused lies.
All other discussion other than what needs to be done to stop the Genocide, reverse the colonisation, hold the Colonising Powers and their Allies accountable at international level, at the ICC, as International Law dictates, to prevent further avoidable harms and return the land tenure and policy of the colon used peoples, are spurious.
