I mean, not wanting to be flip about it, but even within a corporation, you get sort of cult-like behaviors sometimes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even small cults are a serious cost on the world economy, to victims, their families, employers, friends, and credit-card companies.
Typically, when there are corporate habits that undermine individuals, it has emerged without any sort of central planning. Nobody sits down and says, 'I'm going to create an evil habit for this corporation.'
You can look at anything as a cult. Churches are cults in their own way.
When people leave cults, they don't know that they left a cult.
Corporations are a fictional entity that are designed to make money, and they're neither people nor patriots.
I had a very loyal cult-like following, I feel. And I don't mean to complain about that.
I think there's a preoccupation with the American market to make excuses and justify its past. If it isn't current, it means somebody has to make an excuse for it. If it's 'cult,' it gives it a sense of illegitimate legitimacy.
One person's religion is another person's cult.
Many cults start off with high ideals that get corrupted by leaders or their board of advisors who become power-hungry and dominate and control members' lives. No group with high ideals starts off as a 'cult'; they become one when their errant ways are exposed.
What's a cult? It just means not enough people to make a minority.
