    Hopefully he can deprogram the Trump Cultists

      I was just thinking of the whole ‘Q’/Trump thing. If those involved don’t meet the criteria of belonging to a cult, I’m not sure who would.

    What a fantastic job. People who succumb to cults are victims and should be treated as so.

    This is a third channel that posted a video about cults. What’s up America?

      I think these channels share a Whatsapp group and coordinate with each other and time their releases 😂😂😂

    Can you deprogram trumptards ?

    I wonder if extroverts or introverts are more likely to get involved with cults, or if there has even been a study on that. As an extrovert I can see the draw of a community asking you to join them, but maybe less for an introvert. But maybe I am wrong?

      I think certain types of cults could appeal to introverts. Many introverts prefer having a few very close friends but can find it hard to initiate those friendships, so having close relationships sort of built in to the cult experience could make it harder for an introvert to want to leave that situation. I could see savvy cult leaders being able to tailor their recruitment strategy to appeal to each personality type.

    When someone starts their intro with “i’ve been helping people..since..” you know they earn all respects.

    Rick Ross is a legend and the scourge of New Age groups/cults who can’t stand the scrutiny he puts them under.

    “Martha Marcy May Marlene” is a fantastic film and one, I imagine, that well-depicts how difficult escaping a cult must be. John Hawkes is brilliant, and Elizabeth Olsen is amazing as well. A terrific novel on how one is lured into a cult, is Emma Cline’s “The Girls”, which depicts a young girl’s introduction to the Manson family.

      It truly is fantastic! On a related note, I’ve not been part of a cult, but I was the victim of a very charismatic con artist in my early 30s. A brother figure, of sorts. For several months he fleeced me and a young woman who became his girlfriend out of a ton of money, and led us into some dark times as a result. (A mini-cult, perhaps.) A year later I watched that film a dozen times … what she went through was exactly my headspace in getting clear of this person. It was intense and difficult. (FWIW that con artist went to prison.)

    All people with narcissistic personality disorder are like cult leaders.

    What about children who were born into a cult? What is their original personality?

    Why are all these cults led by white guys?

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

on

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
