6. You know you are in a cult...

...when you fully adopt its language without any idea what it means.

Woke (& Woke Mind Virus)
DEI
Deep State
Activist Judges
Job Creators
Fake News
Partial Birth Abortion
Cancel Culture
Homosexual Agenda

Use of these terms, launched into empty minds by media canons like Breitbart, Faux Snooze, and Info Wars, and eventually by the MSM itself, are meant to convey "the secret language" that makes you a "special member" of the cult.

Cults have used this technique for years as a method of shepherding the sheep. These words are emotionally packed so that their use triggers emotional responses with a complete lack of rational thinking.

What is the antithesis of woke...asleep?

Am I supposed to be asleep? Is consciousness and empathy the sum of all fears?

The whole thing is mindless...and that is the point.
