some people go insane in an ego-maniacal yet charismatic way. other people go insane in an ego-dissolving yet submissive way. sometimes these people meet each other.

You're using an authoritarian model of the cult. I, on the other hand, believe that some of the most dangerous cults consist of exclusively type A or exclusively of type B people.

I don't see any charismatic figures at all in the SJW cult, for example. It's exclusively Type B.

I disagree. They don't have explicit hierarchies, which makes the charismatic personalities much more obscure (from an outsider perspective) but they're definitely there. They just don't get up on stage and preach.

Okay, fine, they probably do worship some entity like Judith Butler or Ta-Nehisi Coates, but the structure of the cult is so convoluted that it's a far cry from the typical image of a preacher figure in the center with followers radiating from him/her.

yep. it's an unusual beast and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it either.
