CW: Long post, topics Abuse Culture, epistemic injustice, and decolonizing the mind
RE: https://kolektiva.social/@emsenn/117190449681228809
To start fresh on a new side-tangent:
"Epistemic colonialism" is a great term!
It reminds me of another term that needs to catch on, "epistemic injustice," (epistemology being the philosophy of how to know truth), especially its subset, "testimonial injustice:" when some people are trusted over others simply because of their demographic or background.
We all do this to some extent. You've never met someone. They're on TV or in a courtroom or on social media. And they're telling some story about their experience or something they witnessed or a topic they've studied. And you immediately discount what they're saying without any conscious thought process.
You may have a "reason" to not believe them, but no evidence to back it up.
"They're hysterical."
"They don't know what they're talking about."
"They're uneducated."
"They're in it for the money or fame."
"They're faking."
"They just want attention."Hundreds of pat phrases (what cult researchers call "thought terminating cliches") that instantly stop your ability to receive information that could challenge your worldview.
But underlying the dismissal is a person who did nothing to earn your mistrust.
Meanwhile, the very powerful effect centers your own ego as a representative of systemic bias in favor of the existing structures of power.
Which you are a part of whether you like it or not. Whether you are aware or not. Whatever your ethnic background or color of your skin, you are some part of that power structure.
The process of decolonizing your mind starts with becoming aware of it. It is exactly the same as the growing awareness of a cult member right before they snap out of the spell. Before the walls of milieu control begin to weaken.
I've been through the process on a number of levels: from awakening out of Mormonism, to realizing the lies of my abuser, to unpacking whiteness programming in my mind. To understanding my complicated gender, to realizing my oppression as a woman, to deconstructing my internalized ableism, and more.
Awareness was the first step.
It's uncomfortable. It's easier to continue to exist in comfort through a simple dismissal of any the challenging information.
Meanwhile, the price is that you remain a tool of the cult or oppressor instead of breaking out.
And this applies to everyone. No one is immune to this manipulation. We've all been tools of the oppressor one way or another.
This is why now, wherever I can, I stop and listen to folks I haven't listened to in the past. I try really hard to understand what they're saying.
I don't always agree. I can't always wrap my head around it. I very often can't reconcile their testimony with my own experiences, values, or things I've heard from other people. Sometimes paradoxes or logical contradictions exist. That's just reality.
So I let it exist. It's not my job to force reality into a cohesive whole. Sometimes that's not possible.
But I *can* acknowledge that each person's perspective is a truth all on its own. I can sit with that truth and figure out what it has to teach me in that moment. The lesson doesn't have to be useful or actionable. I don't have to draw a conclusion or write a book about it.
I *especially* don't have to argue my own worldview and prove my contradicting worldview is the superior one. That's conditioning of the oppressor, whose culture made me into an enforcer of their power structure to keep those "beneath me" in line, to keep their messages from surfacing.
It's an act of rebellion to lift those voices. Whether I understand them or not. Whether I fully agree with them or not.
This isn't a solo. We are a chorus.

"AI Is The Latest And Best-Financed Cult To Emerge From California
Had the historian of California, Mike Davis, lived long enough to take in the spectacle of the AI boom, he very well may have seen a through line to earlier hybrids of unvarnished hype, greed, military research, science fiction, and techno-millenarianism, all perduring elements of a unique California ecosystem that has evolved some of the nation’s more distinctive cultural formations. If you think Peter Thiel’s itinerant, closed-door lectures on the Antichrist, Elon Musk’s high-volume procreation, or Sam Altman’s fascination with Napoleon and his notion of founding a company like you’re founding a religion were each a bit unusual, you have not read the history of California’s Church of Scientology.
Scientology – which has the same number of letters as 'Singularity'- came into the world in the setting of a Pasadena club for Satan-worshipping libertines presided over by Caltech rocket scientist, sci-fi enthusiast and later founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, John Parsons. As Davis tells the tale in his classic City of Quartz.
(. . .)
On the terrestrial level of reality, AI’s colonial dynamic is embodied in the surreptitious construction of enormously expensive, climate-damaging and resource-intensive data centers world-wide, often with disregard for strong local opposition. It is embodied in xAI’s Colossus data center outside Memphis, Tennessee, and another near Southaven, Mississippi, which both run on unpermitted and polluting gas turbines situated near poor Black communities. It is embodied in Musk’s vision of a cyborg and robot-filled future, which is now contractually tied to his corporate compensation, and anchored in what is planned to be the largest semiconductor factory in the world, Terafab, also powered 100% on natural gas. If Sam Altman expects AI to 'solve climate change' some day, he had better get to it, because everything that is being done to accelerate AI is turning up the heat on planet Earth.
Two macroeconomic factors are at play in the breakneck speed with which AI infrastructure has been financed and built out since the release of Chat GPT in November of 2022. They have little to do with the intrinsic commercial potential of AI-related products or services, nor any particular innovation in computer engineering. The first, to put it simply, is the availability of lots of money. More than ever before, giant pots of money are sloshing around the planet, motivated by historically low interest rates over a relatively long period to search out the Next Big Thing. This money is mostly exempt from national regimes of control or taxation, is managed outside the traditional banking system, and is therefore more free to move around. The second is the chronic and by now widely acknowledged slow-down of economic growth in the advanced economies, dating back nearly half a century. What the hype typically fails to register is that investors don’t seek out technology and AI firms because they are the best bets on future returns – they seek them out because they are the only bets around."

Well, I am just fascinated with cults. I don't know why. I can't explain it, but books about cults almost always pull me right in. This has been sitting on my shelf since it released. I picked it up randomly and got sucked right in. I usually am not into celebrity memoirs, but add a cult? Count me in! Overall, 4.25 stars. It was a super quick read and had me at the edge of my seat, turning pages as quickly as possible.

I've been saying for years that #SiliconValley operates as a massive #cult - but #PeterThiel (#Palentir) forgot the #1 rule of #cults: don't ever claim to be one.
But here we are faced with a #VentureCapital cult that wants to destroy #democracy, because they want all the power and money.
For how much #antigovernment rhetoric you get from these guys, they sure love colluding with #governments, #despots and #autocrats.

#ConspiracyTheorists #cults #Canada #Qanon
"THE RISE AND FALL OF THE QANON QUEEN OF CANADA
Romana Didulo became one of North America’s most dangerous conspiracy figures, leading followers who believed she could erase debt and cure cancer. By the time the government raided their compound, it was almost too late.
hen it was over in 2025, officials toured the dimly lit building in rural Saskatchewan. Tarps covered the windows and doors, blocking the sun. The air was so foul that an officer ran outside gagging.
For the previous two years, about 20 members of a group known as the Kingdom of Canada had been living inside the decommissioned school, claiming they had taken over the country. They operated under their own principles, issued their own laws, and threatened the surrounding village with 'publicly broadcast executions.' They slept in classrooms and, without running water, used five-gallon buckets as toilets.
Their leader — a woman known as the 'Queen of Canada' — had been sleeping in a primary classroom, where her purse and water jugs labeled with her name still sat. A hole had been cut through a concrete wall and concealed with a cabinet that opened like a secret door. On the other side was the queen’s private bathroom with an elaborate shower.
There were more tarps on the roof that covered stashes of firewood and fuel containers. The fire chief, Gene Perreault, who was there during the walk-through, tells me the piles puzzled investigators.
'Where these fire caches are, it makes absolutely no sense,' he says as we sit in the firehouse looking at photos of the caches. 'Maybe this was part of their last stand or some fucking thing.'
One theory, according to Perreault, was that the Kingdom had been planning to burn the building down, Waco-style, if the government intervened.
The queen was Romana Didulo. Born in the Philippines in 1974, she later claimed that her social class was the 'modern equivalent of [the] Royal Family' — a claim that hasn’t been confirmed. Like much of Didulo’s story, the details of her upbringing are fuzzy."

That thing you've been wondering about for years that seems to have no answer? That niggling contradiction about reality that sometimes bubbles to the surface? That fact about the world that just doesn't make sense but everyone else seems ok with it? But there isn't anyone offering up alternative answers, so you just assume you're nuts and push it back down?
Go with that, see where it leads. Tug at it when you can. Be willing to test your most solid assumptions to try on another way.
That's where you'll find your answers. That's where you'll break out of the cult.

*Yes I have, but I don't believe there's just one unified cult of "Spiralism," any more than there's a Gospel of QAnon
*I'm also a bit surprised that China can simply shut-down everybody's AI boyfriend and AI girlfriend, and the Chinese just shrug, instead of getting all Falun Gong about it #cults

The Common Threads of Control: MLMs, Cults, and Fascist Movements
Throughout history, certain organizations, ideologies, and business models have thrived on manipulating individuals to act against their own interests, funneling their time, resources, and loyalty toward causes that primarily benefit a select few. This manipulation — most notably seen in multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes, cults, and fascist movements — relies on deep-seated psychological and social tactics designed to foster unwavering loyalty, often leading followers to invest in, defend, and even proselytize systems that exploit them. These groups all share a central theme: they create and perpetuate environments in which individuals are encouraged, and sometimes coerced, into acting energetically and willingly against their own interests.
In MLMs, the promise of entrepreneurship and financial freedom attracts recruits, only to leave them with substantial financial losses and strained relationships. Cults, by offering salvation, enlightenment, or community, persuade individuals to give up personal autonomy and resources in favor of a leader’s vision. Fascist regimes, meanwhile, promise national rebirth and prosperity, convincing citizens to surrender individual freedoms and support often oppressive policies that concentrate power in the hands of a few. Despite the apparent differences in their goals and methods, MLMs, cults, and fascist movements share a reliance on control mechanisms that exploit human desires for belonging, success, and purpose, creating an echo chamber that isolates followers from outside perspectives and critical reflection.
Each system relies on a blend of charismatic authority, rigid group loyalty, information control, and the promise of an idealized future. Leaders at the helm wield significant influence, using emotional and psychological manipulation to sustain dependency and suppress dissent. A culture of “us vs. them” mentality alienates critics and outsiders, fostering an atmosphere of fear and mistrust that deepens group loyalty and discourages questioning. Criticism is reframed as ignorance, disloyalty, or negativity, leading members to dismiss dissenting views and cling more fervently to the system. By promising an idealized future — financial success, enlightenment, or national greatness — these groups sustain commitment, encouraging followers to overlook their own sacrifice and continue investing in the cause, even when it becomes clear that their loyalty is enriching or empowering only those at the top.
In examining these shared characteristics, the disturbing overlap between MLMs, cults, and fascism reveals how easily human vulnerabilities can be exploited to build systems that thrive on the energy and resources of those it exploits. This essay explores the manipulative mechanisms shared by these three systems and highlights the psychological tactics that drive individuals to devote themselves to causes that ultimately serve interests counter to their own well-being. Through understanding these commonalities, we can gain insight into the ways that individuals are drawn into exploitative structures and the need for awareness and resilience against such powerful forms of manipulation.
Multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes, cults, and fascist movements may appear vastly different at first glance, each with its distinct goals and ideologies. However, they share a striking array of psychological and social control mechanisms that serve to recruit, retain, and manipulate individuals. Through charismatic authority, fostering an “us vs. them” mentality, rejecting criticism, promising an idealized future, and creating dependency, these systems wield significant power over their followers, often at great personal and financial cost. Examining the shared tactics between MLMs, cults, and fascist movements reveals how each uses similar manipulative techniques to achieve loyalty, suppress dissent, and maintain a rigid hierarchy.
Charismatic Leadership and Centralized Authority
One of the most obvious parallels between MLMs, cults, and fascist regimes is their reliance on charismatic leaders who hold absolute authority within their organizations. In MLMs, top earners or founders are presented as embodiments of success, constantly showcased to inspire lower-ranking participants to work harder and buy into the business model. These leaders are often idolized, with their words and lifestyles serving as proof of the MLM’s effectiveness. Similarly, cults often center around a single leader who is seen as a visionary, a spiritual guide, or even a divine figure. Members are encouraged to place their unquestioning trust in this leader, believing they possess unique insights or powers. Fascist movements follow this same pattern, centering around a strong leader who embodies the ideals of the nation, positioning dissent as disloyalty.
This charismatic authority discourages followers from questioning the system. Each leader or figure is upheld as the epitome of success, enlightenment, or patriotism, creating a sense of loyalty that keeps followers committed and discourages critical thinking. Through this structure, these systems ensure that control remains concentrated at the top, where dissent and alternative perspectives are neither welcomed nor tolerated.
Us vs. Them Mentality and Scapegoating
MLMs, cults, and fascist movements further reinforce control by instilling an “us vs. them” mentality, which isolates members and deepens their loyalty. In MLMs, participants are often encouraged to view critics and former members as “negative” or “jealous” individuals who don’t understand the model’s potential. This divisive mindset fosters solidarity among members and discourages them from seeking alternative perspectives, as they are made to feel they are part of an exclusive group of future millionaires. Similarly, cults teach members to distrust outsiders, portraying them as adversaries who cannot comprehend the group’s beliefs or goals. Any critical perspectives from outside the cult are reframed as attacks that threaten the community’s cohesion.
In fascist movements, this “us vs. them” mentality is even more overt, with entire social or ethnic groups often scapegoated as the source of society’s problems. Fascism relies on creating a common enemy, whether immigrants, ethnic minorities, or political opponents, to rally followers under a shared identity. This unity against a common “threat” not only strengthens internal loyalty but also distracts followers from the flaws or failings of the movement itself. By creating an isolated, loyal group that fears or hates outsiders, MLMs, cults, and fascist movements manipulate followers into feeling that loyalty to the group is essential for survival or success.
Rejecting Criticism and Suppressing Dissent
A powerful tool of control in these systems is the rejection of criticism and suppression of dissent. MLMs, for example, commonly portray criticism as mere “negativity” or misunderstanding from those who “don’t have the courage to succeed.” This rhetoric dismisses any legitimate concerns about the model, while labeling doubters or those who leave as “quitters” or “failures” who simply didn’t work hard enough. Cults employ similar tactics, framing any doubts as signs of personal weakness or spiritual shortcomings. Members are told that questioning the leader or the group’s beliefs indicates a lack of faith, with some cults even punishing those who express doubts.
In fascist regimes, dissent is even more harshly suppressed. Critics are labeled enemies of the state, traitors, or “subversive elements” that seek to destabilize society. Through censorship, propaganda, and often violent repression, fascist movements ensure that opposing viewpoints are silenced and that loyalty to the regime remains unchallenged. This systematic dismissal of criticism creates an echo chamber where only the group’s values and ideals are heard, reinforcing loyalty while preventing members from considering any alternative or critical information. In all three systems, rejecting criticism serves to protect the structure from scrutiny, ensuring that members remain compliant and loyal.
Promise of an Idealized Future
MLMs, cults, and fascist movements all offer an idealized vision of the future as motivation for followers to remain loyal and dedicated. In MLMs, this vision typically centers around financial freedom, the promise of luxurious lifestyles, and the idea of “being your own boss.” Participants are led to believe that success is within their reach if they are committed enough, despite the fact that the vast majority lose money. Cults similarly offer a vision of salvation, enlightenment, or a utopian community, claiming that only through dedication to the group can members achieve this ideal state. Followers are encouraged to stay committed through sacrifices and hardships with the belief that they are working toward something greater.
Fascist movements also rely heavily on idealized visions of a glorious future, often framed as a return to past greatness or the realization of national prosperity. These promises serve as powerful motivators, encouraging followers to tolerate sacrifices and hardships for the sake of achieving this “better” future. By offering followers an idealized outcome, each system keeps members hopeful and loyal, distracting them from the structural exploitation that underpins the group.
Isolation and Information Control
To maintain control, MLMs, cults, and fascist movements often manipulate access to information, creating echo chambers that limit members’ exposure to outside perspectives. In MLMs, participants are encouraged to cut ties with “negative” influences, which can include skeptical friends or family members. Toxic positivity pervades MLM environments, with only success stories and motivational content being shared. Cults similarly restrict members’ interactions with outsiders, isolating them from alternative beliefs and creating a closed loop of information that reinforces the group’s ideology.
Fascist regimes take information control even further, using censorship, propaganda, and state-controlled media to maintain loyalty. By controlling public opinion and suppressing dissent, these regimes limit citizens’ exposure to viewpoints that could undermine the government’s authority. Through isolation and information control, MLMs, cults, and fascist movements ensure that members remain entrenched in their beliefs and less likely to question the validity of the system.
Dependency and Financial or Emotional Exploitation
Each system fosters dependency, whether financial, emotional, or both, that makes leaving difficult or unthinkable. MLMs create financial dependency by encouraging participants to invest in products or training sessions, leaving them heavily invested with few ways to recover their losses outside of further commitment. Cults often foster emotional dependency, building a sense of community that members become reliant on. Some cults even require members to give up personal assets, making them financially dependent on the group.
Fascist regimes create dependency by fostering a culture where loyalty to the state is necessary for stability, security, and even survival. By making individuals financially and emotionally reliant on the movement, each system discourages leaving and makes followers feel they have no choice but to stay. This dependency serves as a powerful tool to maintain loyalty and prevent followers from seeking other options or realizing their own exploitation.
Persecution of “Internal Enemies” and Blame Shifting
When members question or the system faces challenges, MLMs, cults, and fascist movements all use blame-shifting to maintain control. MLMs often blame individual failures on personal shortcomings rather than flaws in the business model, while cults frame doubts as weaknesses or moral failings. Fascist movements, when faced with societal problems, redirect blame to scapegoated groups, reinforcing the narrative that any struggles are caused by these “internal enemies.”
This tactic diverts attention away from the systemic issues within the organization and keeps followers focused on proving their loyalty by rejecting those who question or dissent. By constantly shifting blame onto individuals or outside groups, these systems prevent members from realizing the broader exploitation taking place.
Conclusion: Systems of Control and Exploitation
MLMs, cults, and fascist movements, despite their varied aims, share deep-rooted tactics of psychological manipulation and control. Through charismatic leadership, an “us vs. them” mentality, suppression of criticism, promise of an idealized future, information control, dependency, and blame-shifting, these systems keep members loyal, exploited, and entrenched. Each of these mechanisms works to uphold a structure that benefits those in power while exploiting the majority of followers. These shared tactics underscore how these groups, in their pursuit of profit, control, or ideology, leverage human vulnerabilities to create cycles of dependency, exploitation, and unwavering loyalty. Whether in pursuit of financial gain, spiritual salvation, or national power, these systems embody the essence of manipulation, sustaining themselves by appealing to followers’ deepest aspirations and fears.
