Essentially it was a "Black-led" cult that somehow infiltrated the Minneapolis whole foods movement during the 70s, and reached the peak of its power in the 80s. The article is largely written about one of the "escapees" from the place, who raised awareness of it...
Basically a cult of PMCs, where actions, behaviour, thoughts, lifestyles, relationships and work where all tightly controlled by the anonymous group leaders. It used many of the same tactics "my" current cult does, and it couched it in a similar veil of "self-improvement" and "leadership"...
The same struggle sessions. The same "uncovering biases" training. And it is literally the group which developed the so-called "privilege walk", which I was also made to do here, early on...
Also weirdly the same obsession with whole grain baking, so that's a weirdly consistent thing with all of these cults (I've visited three other "intentional communities", while here. They've all been cult-like, and they've all had "whole grain bakeries)...
However that one was in a city, and was definitely more... Nefarious and anonymous. This one is not (anonymous). I know who the leaders are. I know who my direct "supervisor", if you will, is. But it is also quite underground, and extremely dishonest about its intentions and on the ground realities...
No way am I staying here for as long as that woman stayed there, in order to write a book, though. I'll find other ways to expose them.

You really should watch out for both those terms. For one, self-improvement suggests that the people you're trusting are not only good, but that they can teach others how to be good/better. That's almost never the case. And leadership, what is that? Telling others what to do? In this case, being a cult leader.
Just like with making money courses: you don't make money by teaching others how to make money, but by fooling suckers into thinking that you do.

Eh, being pro-whole grain is normal in Europe.

Yeah, because even if you did write a book, it probably wouldn't sell. There goes more into that than just having agood sotry.
Did you read the article, man? I'm re-reading it now, and it's pretty much all in there...
There's a disturbing amount of crossover, honestly...
As all have said - time to go...
I didn't... archives don't work for me, I have to open them in a different browser. And you said that it was 'uncannily similar'.
Oh ok. Here's the original link, if that helps: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/the-story-of-o-woke-labor-management
