Oh no this can’t be true this would exclude major religions which are cults as well
I saw an analysis of cults that have turned into religions - that is, outlived their founder. There’s some very specific criteria that need to be met in order for it to endure, must critically it needs a charismatic reformer/organizer to take over when the founder dies.
Lots of cults, probably most of them, exists far beyond the ten years range unfortunately.
Yeah, some of the biggest ones have existed for about 2000 years now or a bit longer
right, and they don’t fuck your wives, but your kids
Humans are super susceptible to charisma, tribalism, and dogma
I don’t know, sounds kind of fun.
The charisma thing though, that ain’t happening
There is one cult I would welcome the ritual suicide of.
They’re just about at 10 years now.
they seem to be wanting to ritual suicide entire countries now.
I had to think for a while.
You had a thought? Congrats, you’re not in the cult
That’s just what a woke gay commie deep state libtard would say!
They did nearly have a Fringe of them do it a few years back
I’m surprised by how quickly I went from “who tf could they be referring to?” to “Oh, well yeah, that would make a great deal of sense.”
The problems with that cult is that it would suicide the rest of us along with them
I would be a fool if I gave all my money to a charlatan, and I’m no fool. That proves that Jesus IV is the real deal.
If you last longer you become a cultural heritage issue and are delegated away from cult status
