It's like a religious movement. The fully indoctrinated converts are thrilled to share their "message of salvation" and to show everyone that they have "found the light".
Unfortunately, most of them are also drinking the Kool-aide. We know how that ends.
I thought the same thing, but it’s more of a cult than just a religious movement. Now they’re “saved” and want to save everyone else. They wear their religious garb whenever they’re out, and don’t question anything. Their holy men tell them what is or isn’t acceptable, often completely reversing their stance from not too long ago. Anyone who doesn’t believe is evil and a heretic.
That's not really true on either count. People leave cults all the time. I have known several myself who have done so.
On the other hand, everyone who leaves a religion is constantly hounded to return. They are pressured by everyone around them. There are interventions. Its crazy the amount of propaganda that goes on to keep people in any particular "religion."
I have experienced that first hand.
I disagree with your statement based on my own anecdotal evidence to the contrary on both counts.
I assert that the only real difference between "cult" and "religion" is whether or not you are an adherent.

Oc-cult. Hidden. Secretive.
What is the difference between these two things?
One can slip in and out of a religious movement. Cults don't let you leave.

Beat me to it.
I know, right ! It's medical evangelism.
WoKe SciENcE (TM) is the religion of left and braindead. It protects them from critical thinking.

I like this. Well stated. ?
Good, let the sheep sterilize themselves. We aware patriots can repopulate the world and fill it with smart people.
wtf I love eugenics now
Yeah, amazing isn’t it?? Think MIRROR.
I already have four girls, and none of them are getting that shot.
Strangely, I don't think I'll relish the sweet revenge of saying "You sound like a religious fanatic" to ppl who once thought the same of me. :/
Considering that is targeting foolish people who are NOT the enemy....yeah, I'd rather save those salvos for the REAL enemy.
Free Nikes to go with the kool-aid
