Partially rhetorical, but isn't this what mainstream thought thinks cults do? Cut a recruit off from family, leaving them wholly dependent upon the cult's support and social systems?

Once again, iron law of woke projection.

Progressivism already has morality and dogma. It's a de facto religion, so it's already cult adjacent. This just pushes it over the line.

Oh man... I would be so curious about if we got more cases of anti-trump cults, especially ones that look a lot like the Daylife Army (which wasn't explicitly anti-trump, but had a huge progressive/new-age bent to it).

Yeah this is classic cult brainwashing. What's next, food deprivation? (Food and sleep deprivation are used by some cults)

Yes, that is entirely the point. The Social Justice Racket is a cult.

That was yesterday. Today's cults like to keep their members trapped through deep personal bonds like family, or life long friendships. Didn't you hear about how it all changed back in the great switch?

The Hippocratic oath is a sick joke. Healthcare professionals can define harm however they like, so virtually any behavior becomes permissible. People are “harmed” by their refusal to submit to an experimental gene therapy created by a for-profit corporation with no liability? Better support vaccine mandates! Your patient is stressed out in the eighth month of her pregnancy? Better perform a baby murder for her “mental health”!

Oaths are only as valid as the people who swear them. Postmodernist leftists don’t even believe in the language used to construct them.

Cosmetic surgery is a major example of this. They define “quality of life” as appeasing one’s current mental state. This is why the kid transing has been so popular and why the multiple studies showing no improvement is so hated by them.

Leftists don't even believe in the hippocratic oath anymore (if they ever did). These are the same people that want to deny healthcare to people they don't like in the name of tolerance! (but nooo - they're not racist or bigoted!)

So is enabling, but a swathe of the medical field is enabling mental health disorders.

Its a problem of taking the correct course from one situation and then applying it wider without proper understanding of the complexities.

Like the children of addicts or the extreme abusive types (the ones that r/raisedbynarcissists all write fanfiction wishing about) should absolutely cut their family out. Both as a stop measure or a jolt to the relationship to help the other party start to respect boundaries correctly.

But those are extreme cases where the harm is notable and direct. However once that became a thing you could do, Therapists the world over started applying it far more loosely so as not to upset their Leftie patients who were so lost in politics they'd just drop and replace the Therapist if they said anything to the contrary.

Because that's what usually happens. People shop for a Therapist who agrees with their own belief about themselves to enable them, rather than go to one who will confront and help them through their issues. And people consider the ability to shop like that a good thing so much it appears in Ads for things like BetterHelp.

Well they are a medical doctor trying to take on the role of Therapist, that's already a failure on their part from the top. A specialized doctor doesn't try to also be a primary care physician beyond a very basic level for a reason.

Its a problem with Psychiatrists in general, in that they feel like they are Super Therapists who can be both the "counselor" and the "pill fairy" approaching situations from all angles.

'Quick tell them to cut off contact before Trump cuts off our indoctrination funding!'

If any of these NPCs fall for this, they essentially fill out their own death certificate as I can near guarantee they will dissappear into obscurity than become some 'resistance' like they think they will be.

Besides I bet they won't leave social media so still easy to track.

I disagree. Blood is thicker than water and the world will shock them back into sanity at some point. I'll never turn my back on family for something like this, even if they cut me off. Life is difficult and young people don't have it easy.

The correct translation of that saying is "the blood of the Covenant is thicker than the water of the womb."

It means the opposite of what you think. It means that fellowship matters more than kinship. It means if your relatives stop being your family, go find fellow believers and make your place among them.

That is a reddit hoax. Fact check your shit before you blindly believe reddit.

He already fulfilled most of his end of the bargain with his version of God, so it's perfectly okay to abandon relatives if they're being extra or refuse to worship. Such is following a centuries-old book written by Men to the letter.

Nah, family comes first. Even if my family gets indoctrinated, I'm not going to give up on them.

I'm kind of getting this from my little sister. Plus shoutie meltdown emails calling me every name in their playbook.

So far I've taken the high road and haven't reminded her that she's "renting" a house from me and is a bit lapse in timely and full payments.

What are the chances she does rentoid things when you do remind her, like punch holes in drywall or steal all your plumbing fixtures?
