- SpaceManNabs 4y agoqanon is getting a good run with. same cult-political nexus too.
- purim 4y agoThink you are tad exaggerating things for sensationalism here, there is nowhere near the level of cult behaviour you describe. Aum Shinrikyo was a small group. There are other religious groups but they aren't extremists. I would argue that there are far more Christian sect groups in the States who are armed.
- Apocryphon 4y agoAlso both the Yellow Turban and Taiping Tianguo are millenarian groups that arise during bad times. They’re not all that different from political movements that seek to rebel against the state, just with less rational-seeming ideologies. But to the discontented, it’s very rational. Also, those groups existed hundreds of years apart from each other, let alone from Aum Shinrikyo.
- purim 4y agoWell if we are gonna travel that far back in time we should also be discussing the numerous cults that formed out of Europe and rosicrucianism still going strong

- yongjik 4y agoUmm, the yellow turban rebellion happened in 184 AD. It's like saying West Europe can't control cultists and citing Celtic druids.
