#Cults, the language used in cults, and #cult-like behavior, w/#emmachamberlain
"i'm excited to discuss how we participate in #cultlike #behavior on a day-to-day basis without even realizing it. she's really investigated the line between what is a cult and what is just cult-like behavior. and this is something I am curious to explore because I think it's a little bit more relevant than we even realize."

Finished this #Book from 2021 today. #Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism gives an overview of the #linguistics of #cults & #CultLike groups, from #MLMs to fitness groups. It intersects with several of my own interests including #religion and #linguistics. Anyone interested in these topics or the phenomena of viral movements in general will appreciate this well organized, straightforward work that provides thoughtful reflection on what draws humans to these movements. #reading #viral #Books
