These guys train at expensive ranges, take advanced classes in protection work, take sharpshooter/sniper classes, and are taught guerilla warfare techniques.

You'll laugh but I once left a martial arts club because it was showing weird cult-like behavior that led to robbing their loyal members to give them all their money. Just to buy their club's drinks and clothes and expensive courses to advance in the overall program. You weren't allowed to bring your own water/drink into the training hall - you had to buy their drinks or else you'd have to leave the room and drink alone in the locker rooms (which I did), not knowing when the training would continue. You also weren't allowed to wear your own training clothes but had to buy their stuff (because they wanted us all to "look united). No matter how long you've been in the club, you would only ever learn the next, higher-up fighting techniques if you took part in a weekend-long, super expensive course, that also included meeting their master. Speaking of which, at the beginning of each session we had to group up in front of a photo of said master and bow our heads to him (which I never did because why would I). They preyed on simple-minded people who relied on tight group structures and communal support. When I said that I'll end the contract, the team leader sat me down for a 1:1 talk, which was kinda arranged like a police hearing. Well, I stood my ground and got out but BOY this was a weird experience.

Thanks to this cult recruiting idiots online and make them do stupid stuff so it's a little easier for healthy people of society to identify these idiots and avoid them in the future.

However as they gain power and as they keep being encouraged by their followers and rewarded for extreme and crazy things it goes further and further. Lying to yourself and others also just becomes part of the routine and if you repeat a lie often enough you will start to believe it no matter how absurd it seemed at first.

Many cult leaders also grew up very lonely which was even more true for Jim Jones which caused him to try to bind his followers to him as strongly as possible. You shouldn't think Cult leaders are some anonymous villain. They are people too. The main reason what makes them turn so evil is the unchecked intoxicating power they have. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and the more isolated a cult becomes the more the cult leader feels empowered and the more insane they become.

@@MrMarinus18 I truely think you got it the other way around. Only cultists would ever believe their leader to be more than human, that argument doesn't have to be made here. The insanity of a cult revolves around the inherent insanity of their leader. This is not just subjective bias, but how american state and law handles such topics, as due to this psychological nature of cults. (One receiving the benefits and calling the shots) Charles Manson never killed anyone, directly or personally. But his influence indirectly caused the deaths of 9 people, for which he originally got sentenced to death, but later reverted to a lifetime in prison. In any other context, this would have been not-done. But such is the nature of cults. Many of the followers of Jonestown did not want to go along with the very last act, yet they were forced to, on command of their leader. That included children. 909 lives, just gone. When sweet promises no longer work, their hand turns to manipulation and totalitarian abuse. If you happen to declare yourself a god-like being of divine degree and exert this delusion over weak-willed or vulnerable individuals, it is a far step away from diminishing any of that personal responsibility, as if you were just there along the crowd. In your world view, Hitler would just have been another legally elected politician. And that is just a few tads too simple if you ask me.

This is pure evil INSANITY!! Oh I feel so bad for Mathew; I hope he heals from all the trauma. He is brave for finally getting out and speaking his truth. My God! Some human beings don't deserve to be called human at all. Infuriating & sad....

My question is: why in the hell no former members of this insane cult had the courage to report them to the authorities? As much as a sad story it might be, and as much as I can understand the traumas these people have gone trough, the fact that none of them did nothing to take them down and just allowed them to continue recruiting and abusing others proves that no matter how much they might say they want to prevent said cult from perpetrating such despicable actions, they still live in a state of fear and submission to this very day.

Awesome work KiraTV creators like you deserve way more credit and recognition

I’m seeing a lot of comments from people who have left Cults I hope you guys are all doing OK glad you all got out of there. But I know it can be hard when your family is still wrapped up in that stuff.

Bro you do this style of video really well, this needs 1-2m views at least. It has to get there when it finally gets put in front of the right people. Take me, found your channel a month ago, binged the hell out of the scam content, and never got recommended this video.

Bloody love you're videos! Always very entertaining.

Slaaneshi Cults offer delights and experiences for the senses we can't even properly visualize or imagine. Their performances make the finest Cirque Du Soleil shows look like disgusting drunken Ogryns trying ballet. Their foods and drinks will make you fall in love with your taste buds. _Literally._ Their decor and clothes swirl with magnificent psychedelic colors, which you will see everywhere long after the party is over. IF the party ever ends. They don't just offer you pleasure and pain in ways that rewire your entire brain. They _become_ your pleasure and pain as they corrupt you, hollow you out and make you love it all until you can feel nothing anymore and it's far too late to ever go back. These guys, these IRL criminals, shithead pimps, scammers and slavers don't deserve to be compared to such harmless fiction. _(Hah, pulled a sneaky on ya.)_

I was thinking Wiz-el must've been a big Superman fan. Hard to take him seriously 🤣🤣 (Kal-El was Superman's Krypton name)

I’ve met people and groups over the years that have shown these traits. I believe in living on the healthier and more sober end of the spectrum but I don’t live all up in my ego and care about notoriety. Red flags imo are anyone who has a high social media presence, mentions mentoring, expresses a desire to collaborate with you, tries to stroke your ego, or looks like they themselves are a clout chaser. People will play the part of “I do it for the love” but yet can’t or won’t do it unless anyone is watching. I don’t want to be part of any group or association of any kind. I go do what I do just to be, live in the now, and don’t try to document it for show and tell. I have no desire to be famous. Not caring about what anyone thinks is the place for me. There is a reason it’s harder to be a lone wolf than ever and it’s because we’re surrounded with this nonsense. I believe the age of the influencer has peaked long ago and all that’s left is a bunch of stragglers clamoring to manufacture their “discovery.” Just go BE and tune out the noise.

Man, I'm listening to this and just when I think it could go no further it somehow gets even worse...

That just show how he didn't care about those rules anymore.

I used to be a member of the cult called "The Twelve Tribes". They are a communal messianic high-control group. When I joined, I was a social cripple. Aspergers and a very poor upbringing had me in a state where I could barely have normal relationships with people. Because of that, I took away as much or more than I gave to them in the 8-odd years I was with them. However, for more well-adjusted people, it was a consistent losing proposition. I don't hate the TT. I actually miss the lifestyle. They live (cooking, cleaning, shopping) and earn money communally, with responsible individuals being delegated to handle those tasks. What made me leave was their smothering control over every aspect of my life and their dogmatic views. They are not the sort of group that tries to make you stay if you don't want to be there, so there's always an open door with the caveat that you're probably going to hell if you leave, lol. Their lifestyle was very comfortable. Rise in the morning, sing and dance, go to what amounts to a church service, and then do your daily duties. Very simple and very rewarding (until you need your teeth fixed or require a special diet). If only they weren't so dogma-bound...

You're not alone - that kind of social, communal style of living has emotional benefits for a great many people. It's such a shame that it's so rare to see in Western societies outside of cults. I hope you can find somewhere similar which has a community lifestyle without being a cult. A friendly small town, or a cosy street community where everyone knows each other and looks out for each other may suit you well.

Shows how easily people can be controlled when they are either "down and out" or have life goals of becoming rich and famous.

Man that is so messed up What they did to Matthew. People that absolutely vile should be subjected to the psychological torture they subjected their victims to. That’s another kind of evil.

The Victems of this cult need to press charges and end these predators!

What you're describing is essentially a real life Warhammer 40K Slaanesh cult.

I'm not a Earth 2 fan, but I don't think they're a cult.

Now, what is pretty nefarious with Earth 2 and the rest of the crypto space is that everyone who has invested, has a financial incentive to convince other people to buy in as well. I think this is a really nasty structure, because it does turn people into quasi-shills.

You may be saying it as a joke, but crypto in general really has a lot of cult-like elements. Sure, they aren't as terrible as the cult in this video, and it's asinine to compare them to these kind of cults (which is why I assumed it was a joke), but they really are cult-like. They have a lot of incentives to both recruit new people to pour their money in and punish people trying to leave, so they end up generating a lot of the same cult-like behaviour than the more well-known cults.
