Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism―Understanding the Social Science of Cult Influencevon Amanda MontellHarper

for a book claiming to be about the language of "cults" it was surprisingly little about the actual language of 'cults' imo?

Fun times

Was this what k thought this book would be: a real look into how linguistics shape cults and culture? No! Was this still an insanely fun read because I love learning random lore? Hell yes. All I gotta say is this author would love researching kpop fans.

"language is human beings’ element just as water is the element of fish.”It was such a fun read! It's lighthearted and funny while still addressing the seriousness of the topics it deals with.

this is the weirdest mix of a quick google search on famous cults, a copy-paste instagram rant, annoyingly repetitive phrases and terms, random quotes without context or any value to the reader, lessons on basic marketing strategies and a lot of self praise.

two stars, because ranting about capitalism and overthrowing the patriarchy.
