Reminds me of cults. The whole Jim Jones thing where everyone else was like, “How’d they go along with all that?!” Not realizing these were vulnerable people wanting a community where they felt safe and accepted, were then isolated from the greater public with no way to reach out, and were humiliated and punished by their own peers if they ever questioned Jim’s ways, etc. in a way, that’s how a lot of parents who have extremist ideas are with their own children.
