This is just some of the cult manipulation tactics RSD use on a daily basis, look at them and ask yourself "can I relate some of these tactics to from what Ive seen from RSD?"

LAW 27: PLAY ON PEOPLE’S NEED TO BELIEVE TO CREATE A CULTLIKE FOLLOWING

This law assumes all humans possess the acute need to believe in something, making us innately gullible (especially in group settings). Those who exercise this law gain a tremendous amount of power and wealth through the 5 steps of cultmaking.

1. Keep It Vague; Keep It Simple. Use ambiguous and obscure words, but keep it simple or lose your credibility.

2. Emphasize the Visual and the Sensual over the Intellectual. Make an appeal to the senses, or risk losing your following over boredom. 

3. Borrow the Forms of Organized Religion to Structure the Group. Great societies are characterized by order. Organize members in a hierarchical structure. 

4. Disguise Your Source of Income. Live luxuriously as proof of the truth and success of your claims, but keep your methods of acquisition disguised.

5. Set Up an Us-Versus-Them Dynamic. Provide a sense of exclusivity and fabricate an ‘us against the world’ mentality.
