#Scientology In #London Is A Joke

Today we're taking a very #British gander at @scientology London: their hilarious welcome video, their terrible Instagram and website, all of which reveal that almost no one is actually going to their #church here. Wrapping up with a go at the infamous '#personalitytest'!

I, too was struck in 2020 that the GOP had no party platform, except to support Trump.

Oh nein!

Ö1 bespricht gänzlich unkritisch das neue Buch von Will MacAskill, der nicht nur EA ist, sondern mittlerweile auch die Radikalisierung zum Longterministen vollzogen hat.

Die neue radikalisierte Generation von EAs empfiehlt übrigens 80% der Spenden für die Bekämpfung von Existential Risk(!) auszugeben + nur 5% gegen den Klimawandel, enough said.

Oh, Grace Road Church members so bold,
Leaving South Korea's woes untold,
The disaster sought to hide,
But Fiji's sea you did bide
No more shall you ever be controlled.

@georgetakei As it is:

Thanks to the obstructionist #GOP #MAGA #Trump virus, #Americans favor a #Cult felony criminal defendant over the #USA's own #Constitution & national #Security🔴https://rb.gy/4wnby

Less than 1/4 of the nation even cares about national unity let alone 21st Century #Leadership🔴https://bit.ly/3F4HcbM

Add that to the whole #Tesla-#Twitter #Bot cult & questions about #ElonMusk's outsized power & influence become less important to the average nonstrategic #American.▼

Jonathan V. Last responds to the Wall Street Journal's (purported) finding that 51% of voters find Trump having a greater record of accomplishments than Biden:

"What?

Trump has more of a record of 'accomplishment' in office than Biden?

I would pay a lot of money to sit down with that 51 percent of respondents and ask them to tell me five things Trump accomplished in office."

Project Veritas audit accuses ‘untouchable’ founder of improper spending

A law firm’s report alleges James O’Keefe spent nonprofit funds on helicopter travel and DJ equipment and that his ‘volatile’ behavior disrupted the workplace by Will Sommer @washingtonpost https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/the-media/2023/09/06/project-veritas-james-okeefe-audit-spending-volatile/ #jamesOKeefe #projectVeritas #rightwing #extremism #cult

"But why build a physical compound when you’ve got something far more 21st century-insidious and successful? Trumpism today relies on a virtual compound, with walls made of social media algorithms, extremist cable 'news' channels, and right-wing talk radio. Today’s MAGA cultists are siloed in information bubbles and fed a constant stream of hate and disinformation. Taken together, it’s far more effective at distorting reality than even a physical compound’s walls."

"The 'traditional' way cult leaders gained control of their followers was to literally lock them inside a compound, where the flow of information, their relationships to others, and their entire personal life was tightly controlled by the head of the cult and his high-ranking leaders. Hassan calls it the 'BITE' model of cult mind control—standing for behavior, information, thought, and emotion."

~ Jay Kuo, citing Peter Sagan

#Republicans are quite clearly just a #cult if you consider the evidence.

Trump’s Four-Dimensional Day Planner

It is the fact that so many Republicans still supporting Trump amid charges of conspiracy, fraud, and “sabotaging the peaceful transfer of power” is what really scares me.

How Did So Many Get Caught In The Cult of Donald Trump’s Lies And Fear Mongering

I’d like to start by saying that all damaging cult leaders are primarily interested in three things: power, money, and sex. That is the sequence I would put it in. Not every cult leader I’ve researched desires sex, and some aren’t interested in money, but they’re always addicted to power.

They have faulty wiring in their brains for conscience, empathy, reality-checking...
