Why are cult groups like fundamentalist mormons still allowed to be practiced in the USA? What causes people to join such cults? Watching videos on shit like FLDS made me realize it's just a sex trafficking cult. Were the OG mormons (Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, etc) like this? It's literally North Korea inside of America.

Because the dividing line between 'religion' and 'cult' is a lot harder to define than you'd think. Any definition of a 'cult' can be stretched and reinterpreted into applying to many completely unremarkable mainstream religions (especially by people with a political axe to grind). Much better, and safer for most people, to just pick up the cults on the actual laws they break - and if they don't break any laws then leave the freaks alone.

>Were the OG mormons (Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, etc) like this?
The entire LDS movement started because Joseph Smith wanted people to A: give him their money, and B: give him their underage daughters.

Instead of being in the globohomo sex trafficking cult they're in a local whites only sex trafficking. Now actually answer the question Instead of pretending you're redpilled

Religious Freedom law in the U.S is very permissive (and I mean it) and can be abused in many ways. But aside from that >>18451635. Actually legislating against cults as a class is very hard, so it's easier to just get them on real crimes. But there's a difference between that and letting some schizo's DIY intelligence agency/Harem/army/slave plantation/ethnic group run amok as the U.S likes to do. Cults do a lot of palm greasing.

>>18452004
They don't even have to be religious. For example, the LaRouche movement. So much conspiracy nonsense is downstream of his psychosis about his mother, and few know about it.

>>18452015
But well, the Larouche movement had to use different aveneus to survive.

Just skimmed that guy's life and he seems like Hasan but for boomers. Just how zoomers cultishly defend this random guy who isn't even that charismatic, the more political hippies did the same in the 60s/70s

It's more complicated than that. They actually became far right as the seventies rolled on. Racist and anti-semitic despite being mostly made up of Jews and brown people.

Yeah that also sums up Hasan's movement

Aw so that's why Smith was rolling around in cash up until his martyrdom.

Because it's difficult to prosecute them for specific crimes outside of banning them wholesale, which would be a violation of the 1st Amendment. You can raid them for say abuse, but if the people who are abused claim there is no wrong doing going on and you cannot find hard evidence to contradict their claims, you cannot prosecute the abusers. Also with polygamy, there is no law saying you can't sleep with a ton of different women, just that you can't legally marry multiple women. So they just practice polygamy informally in church marriages that aren't made official legally, which means there's no way to prosecute this.

Why do you care what WHITES do in their WHITE communities so much, jew boy?

Because they're extremely based. They play 2 very important roles in society. The first is that they have high birthrates(the Amish, Mormons, Eastern Lightning, etc) and the second is that they shun healthcare(Jehovah's Witness, Christ Scientist, Falun Gong, etc). This makes them necessary to combat falling birthrates and mutational load. 1000 years from now, these cults will be the reason any healthy people exist at all.

They are worth half a trillion, all untaxed, invested in real estates. They obviously lobby politicians, with that much money LDS is like a giant congolomerate.

Zoomers are the foil of boomers. Call it nominative determinism or something, I don't know.

I've been reading up on cults myself OP, but more the evangelizing ones.

What I've found is that most people in cults seem to feel like secret agents on a mission, engaged in a Manichean struggle with the world. It's the same feeling as being a soldier in a war. Not many can really keep this feeling going long though, it's why they typically burn out around the 3-6 year mark.

But there's usually a dual recruitment track for cults. There's the plebs that get recruited on the street that get paypigged and pressed into blue collar work. Used, squeezed and then typically disposed of. But there's a higher level, that focuses on business and academia, where they'll flatter their target and give them the opportunity to have actual power over people in exchange for their skills. Suddenly highly qualified lawyers, accountants, university professors and business managers are recruited in, they get to live in a cult owned property, and often get a live in slave (a recruited cult member from the first track, typically). It's pretty much the exact sort of white collar/blue collar divide you see in the workplace, and almost the exact same dynamic you get with the military with commissioned and non-commissioned roles.

After about 5-8 years the street recruits that make it through the torment typically go onto managerial roles that directly relate to managing other street recruits, or become missionaries deployed to other countries (a huge responsibility they don't give to just anyone). That's like the cult equivalent of an NCO.

They scale up like businesses and operate individual branches like semi-autonomous franchises, they have a bureaucratic headquarters that keeps a track on profit margins and ideological orthodoxy. You can compare the South Korean cults to the Chaebols, they scale up in a similar manner, are family owned, and promote a similar culture of internal competitive behavior.

Inbred sex cults where fathers have 100s of kids (many of which are neglected) will be the reason healthy people exist...

Our origin story is a separatist cult at Plymouth Rock (yeah there was Jamestown, Spanish colonies, etc) and ever since then we’ve had endless cults, sects and utopian communes. Some morph into major sects like the Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists while most fade away when Dear Leader dies or gets exposed. Obscure cults ‘n communes is one of my favorite American /his/ topics.

Why do they all look so fucking ugly and dysgenic? There's not a single woman in this photo that I would want to have sex with

Because a huge portion of the immigrants that founded the country WERE cultist retards coming to another land to escape religious persecution.
