i guess I don’t understand your point. Cults are bad, seems like we agree on that.

Right. I was saying that Hexbear isn’t a cult on the same level as the named examples, that it’s just some people with a different view of global politics than the norm, in response to a commenter who insisted that they were a dangerous cult that should be stamped out.

Ah. Well I disagree, I think they’re on an equal level of danger and detachment from reality and susceptibility of their members to abuse. Definitely a cult.
They’re not just people with different political views. They’re a cult that vigorously polices their orthodoxy. Dissent is not tolerated.
