How To Know If You Are In A Greed Group (aka a Capitalist's Cult)

I am guessing the author of the following piece did not have Psychology of Vision specifically in mind but there are certainly many points that can be applied to the Spezzanos. Here is a link to the original post and I have selected some of the more pertinent points regarding POV in the roster.

if your group shares anything in common with a particular Group that has aliens, volcanoes, dc-70s without propellers, and spirits that must be cleared from the soul.

if while your informing people about your group you have to say "it's not a cult"

if you have people who have no other training than the course itself, doing very deep and possibly damaging psychological treatment (i.e. "Tell me about the worse and most emotionally scarring thing that's happened to you and that is haunting your life right now", also see, the Group That Features Aliens Etc).

if you have to sign a waiver for psychological and physical damage before the seminar.

if bringing out fear and vulnerability is done in your 'seminar'

if you find yourself using very specialized language to define your life.

if at any time, your seminar features carefully staged and executed public humiliation.

if the leader of the seminar speaks in such a way that would get him slapped, slugged, or worse in public.
