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"...

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.

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)...

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

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.

Yeah, because even if you did write a book, it probably wouldn't sell. There goes more into that than just having agood sotry.
