I am playing Far Cry 5 do you think it would be possible for the cultists in game to start their own massive movement in todays America?

  You mean like Q Anon? That decentralized cult ended up storming the capitol a few years ago. Or maybe more like the NXIVM cult that still operates despite its leader being in jail? Or Scientologists which have successfully infiltrated many parts of Hollywood?

  It didn’t seem that farfetched imo. Totally something that can easily happen given the right conditions.

  It’s a thing that already exists.

  This is specifically why I’m convinced that the insurrection act is going to be invoked at some point, and then a bunch of the conservative militias will “pop up out of nowhere” and get deputized. Bam: you’ve got your home-grown all-American neo-Sturmabteilung.

  L. Ron Hubbard might have thoughts if he was alive.

  It sorta already happened before, albeit in Texas, not Montana.
