It's worth noting that my family has involvement in the wider movement of education/philosophy that this place fits into, and is an extreme outlier within...
So I briefly went to a school organized around the principles behind the "movement" when I was a kid, and did some home schooling based around those principles...
When I was that age, most of my friends (that I was allowed to see) were also involved in that... Educational philosophy...
Without saying directly what it is, it's a well-known esoteric Germanic cult with its headquarters in Sweden (this place is the second-biggest in the world, I believe), and schools all over the place.
Pretty much a hippie cult.
So I was perhaps... An easier potential "victim" than someone else who, say, did not come from that background, or who didn't almost certainly have C-PTSD, or didn't have "alternative" ideals, to some extent...
I am almost the perfect victim. Except that I knew, as soon as I arrived here that things were not right. So obviously some part of me, at least, was aware...
I nearly came here seven years ago when I was much younger, and maybe more naive. Thank god that I didn't, is all I will say...
It's a good thing you still have your wits about you not to get sucked in and have an escape plan in motion.
The most dangerous thing about cults are two different things:
Stockholm syndrome and sunken cost, a lot of them start thinking It's in their best interest to be a part of it and then they've given so much to the cause they might as well 'see it through'. Hopefully you're near the border of either Norway or Finland.
