    I was actually making a tongue-in-cheek reply to the comment above yours, but damn. Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing!

      You’re welcome!

      Jonestown happened when I was a kid, so when Waco happened, I did some rabbit-hole dives into cult phenomena how they entrap people, so I’ll nerd out about it from time to time.

      And don’t get me started on Far Cry 5 and its failure to actually look at how cults work. (Of course Ubisoft was afraid of losing business from getting called out by the rising Christian nationalist movement in the US.)

      LOL I just came back to this after a couple months and the 4000 completely caught me by surprise! Since I missed it in real time, I can see how if I were copying these comments down after the fact I might easily have missed it.
