    The only ways to force someone out of a cult is through forced deprogramming and by attrition, as you break the cult apart, or it naturally breaks down. So what do we do when the cult members you want to do this number in the millions, many of which are willing to resist violently?

      The point I want to make is that a defeatist attitude isn’t providing any solutions. It’s useless to say something is hopeless. You might as well give up and validate them being hopeless.

      So what do you do? Try anyways, because nothing is actually hopeless. Progress is not only possible, but others who lack this silly defeatist attitude are actually making progress and fighting this fight.

      So, you both should quit your bitching and actually try.

        I don’t feel the need to convert them, to get them to back off their bullshit. There are ways to move forward without them, we need to focus on working on that.
