they killed charlie because if she was around longer she would've made destiel happen by shamelessly making fun of the way they are with each other and not resting until they admitted their undying love btw

Supernatural is the most surreal show I’ve ever watched it will have the dumbest dialogue you’ve ever heard and then five minutes drop a line like “Freedom is a length of rope, god wants you to hang yourself with it”

America has a weird relationship with cults where they’re terrified of small cults (or organizations they think are cults) but completely normalized massive cults that hurt many more people (eg: LDS Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Amish, Scientology, most Megachurches)
To anybody asking if the Amish are a cult, the answer is yes, very much so.
They’re a high control group that isolate you from society. The cult decides how you dress, how you behave, who you marry and how. They control what you know, blocking all information from the outside world. They control how you feel and what you’re allowed to think with threats of both social and supernatural harm. They’re a cult.
The best method to determine if a group is a cult, in my opinion, is Steven Hassan’s (cult expert and former cult member himself) BITE model.
BITE stands for Behavior Control, Information Control, Thought Control, and Emotional Control.
The more points a group “scores” on the model, the more of a cult it is.
I think this model is the best one for several reasons:
- It’s more nuanced than “cult” or “not cult” and doesn’t make false equivalences between groups
- It’s versatile, applying to groups big and small, and cults of all kinds, religious, political, financial, etc.
- It focuses on what’s important, which is what the cult does to its members, and those members’ experiences, and not on irrelevant details like how uncommon their doctrines are or whether they have a charismatic leader
This is a great example of Thought Control used by cults whenever they’re confronted with criticism.
The creator of the BITE Model considers abusive relationships to be two-person cults.
