but he seems to have a very far reach
extremely
it's not clear the end game of this stuff is
well assuming he is a sociopath, there is no endgame, there is no big plan
he is just puffing himself up and getting kicks out of it
seems almost religious in nature
yeah that could be likely
the DeFoo shit is religious
he certainly is prolific, and good at speaking uninterrupted
yeah
I mean I wouldn't call it that, but I know what you mean
culty
cult like behaviour, but more importantly
people who become vulnerable by dissociating with their loved ones
are prime manipulating material for the sociopath
it can be difficult to understand what the sociopath gets out of this
because people tend to consider very material motivations
and while these can certainly be what they want in some cases
fallot did you watch that "holy hell" doc
someone of a more cerebral bent, or just fucking bent, may have different motivations
it's a good recent cult documentary
on netflix if you have that
I'll check it out
but what's it about, just the gist
I don't really want to watch some political tirade on faith
nah it's not that
tl;dr tight-knit californian cult revolves around "enlightened one" who is a failed actor and gay porn star
The main feature of cult is charismatic leader
(which his followers didn't know)
yeah, that guy is a sociopath
I can tell you now
not knowing any more details
at the end he had his followers relocate to various places and build him opera houses to perform plays he had written by and about him
I do want to watch that
it was pretty good, although the cult members are a little irritating
you can see how they got pulled in, but things got pushed very far
basically he "acted out" being enlightened and succeeded
he's on steroids too
looks possible
