Cults of Control: Unmasking the Tactics of Mind Manipulation
In today's world, the manipulation of consciousness and total control over the individual have become the key features of cult groups, capable of destroying any semblance of freedom. Let's begin by noting that such organizations impose strict control over communication, cutting the person off from the outside world and depriving them of the ability to make decisions independently. First and foremost is the cult of personality – a leader is turned into an undisputed figure from whom complete obedience is required, while any doubt is immediately suppressed. Furthermore, a rigorously structured hierarchical system renders individual thinking unnecessary, turning the person into an obedient executor completely dependent on the group's rules.
