@@markvicente7 My child is in a very controlling relationship and we're very concerned. We've tried every intervention we can afford, but he keeps going back, despite saying he doesn't know why he keeps going back. She uses extreme fear to control him. He is in a bad trauma bond. Keep us in your thoughts. Watching your lectures is helping me to continue on. At times I feel like I am banging my head against the wall, not many people can understand what he is experiencing is a form of mind control.
Remember the whole Nxivm debacle and so appreciate the learning and evolution of those who went through any cult firsthand. THANK YOU Mark for your excellent work.
Thanks for this, Mark🙏🏼. Such an important subject. As an 'outside' observer to the upcoming US elections (As an Australian resident although not directly affected day-to-day, the outcome of the US elections does have a global impact), I can see history repeating itself insofar as fear mongering propaganda being used to manipulate Americans into voting a certain way. I sincerely hope people are able to ask themselves those vital questions. "Is this threat real, or is it being exaggerated to manipulate me?" "Who stands to benefit from my fear?" "That political leader you adore, have you idolised them in a way that is almost religious?"
I haven't watched but I was so compelled to comment because it was like a lightbulb in my head. This is what my parents did with us kids when we were well...kids. And then my siblings took over that role when my father was dying and used it to 'control' my father and scapegoated me. I was terriefied of them because although younger, they were (first of all) unified and second of all, both had physically attacked me in the past. So that was always in my mind and so I tiptoed around on eggshells for 3-4 months while interacting with them as my father died of a terminal illness. So many things I've learned about cults fit so much and run parallel to my FOO and the environment I grew up in. Sorry if this isn't congruent with the video. I thought about deleting but eff it. Maybe it can help someone else. And if not, It's helped me just to type it out. Lol. I'll watch/listen later. Love this channel. Discovered Mark through RG.
Thank you for this, it makes so much sense. During the pandemic I was sucked into an online MLM/Cult which I've since got out of (helped in no small part thanks to your videos Mark) but it helps me see even more clearly why I was so susceptible to it even though it was out of my usually skeptical character.
More people should learn from this video. Still people do not know how manipulated we all were during the Covid era and we remain manipulated as the majority of the population refuses to admit to how we became monsters. It's too hard to admit to the wrongs we did and be accountable because of the shame felt. Here in Australia the Premier in Melbourne at the time, who suppressed his state more than anywhere else in the world, was voted back in! Learn.
so I am very careful about people making blanket statements about "the other side" or about left vs right. from either side. so yes, cancel culture bad but also "all news is owned by governemnt" is also unhelpful and inaccurate
I think it's more accurate to say it's owned by corporations (who mostly own governments). Check out the 'money tree' of who owns what. It's pretty fascinating. But don't expect to find that info on 'the news'.
@@markvicente7 depends which news sources you choose. murdoch is pretty deeply corrupt, msnbc is unwatchable. smaller outlets and independent news sources from outside a country tend to give less biased news about that country. the best sources I have found are individuals with specialisation in their field, much like you and Dr Hassan. I just make sure to get opposing sides where it makes sense to do so. flat earthers notwithstanding
Mark this is by far the best information. Thank you for your hard work in getting the word out.
I appreciate that!

Yes. I'm learning that this tactic works on even the skeptics.
Very good, informative talk. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for watching!
This is explained well. Thanks,
Glad it was helpful!
