skewed ideologies = cultish brainwashing ?

[skysidhe]

Are skewed ideologies cultish brainwashing ?


Like religious fanatics, and other cult like peoples.


This is evident by the totalitarian nature for their thinking processes and unacceptance of others cultures rules and ideologies.


They will argue and use coercion to make many that you are wrong in your thinking if you do not conform. Others will come in to support the skewed thinking and attempt to psychologically put down any resistance.




One person's screwed up thinking might just make him/her a screwball but when others always come in to support something that is by common sense regarded as wrong it crosses the line into cultish behavior and brainwashing. So much so that people begin to believe a lie.
