In context
The 2020s have produced a class of online figures who exploit humanitarian disasters (COVID, hurricane response, post-conflict vulnerable populations) to build parasocial cult followings. Substantial financial extraction via subscription tiers and 'sacred sacrament' (e.g. MMS) sales. Distinct from the broader online-radical-religious phenomenon.
Key control doctrines
- Conspiratorial framing of mainstream relief
- Sacred-sacrament extraction
Recovery resources
- ICSA (International Cultic Studies Association) — General referral and cult-aware therapist directory.
