If your group insists the end of the world is near, you’re probably in a cult.
Cults position themselves as the sole refuge from an evil outside world that is intent on their destruction. Cults thrive on conspiracy theories, catastrophic thinking, and persecution complexes.
In an effort to draw in more nitro boosting members, cults are often very aggressive in their recruitment efforts which are usually justified as “saving” people from the evil thread. Those who reject the cult’s message are spergs, shitposters, evil, or redditors.
