Great! Can you provide me subtitles? I wanna translate to Brazilian Portuguese. Thank you, anyway.

[jacquefresco]

@Funkler10 Hopefully soon.

@xbuster17 What is your "own design"?

About the "cult" nonsense: At the very worse, it is a fanbase. You are exaggerating the hell out of it when you call it a "cult" - repeating sensational slander you picked up somewhere online.

I wish I had a teacher like Jacque during high school.

@dopeboyhero

Yeah, i agree. Jacque sounds like a real teacher.

@jacquefresco I was in a cult so I recognize the behavior. PR was vital to them.

PR was so important to the political campaign so I no longer support it. You know the campaigner.

I ran into one of your supporters on FBook that was behaving that way and all of us there had a good discussion on it & it worked out very well. I think the person understood what we were talking about and stopped doing it. Those that do do it harms your goal but I know you can't control that.

[SpiritLadyArtist]

@jacquefresco I understand what you are saying and yes what you say is so but I have seen people out here that you have no seen behave in such a manner. I don't want to pick about it through. Just letting you know. It is not common but there are some. I know it is being used to pick to demean for sure but a few followers do act in that manner therefore can cause people to call it that.

I know about the politics part as I was one a campaign and I quit due to such behavior.

@SpiritLadyArtist "I am Barb and I tried to get you to work with Jason Beghe. I found out the hard way politics is not the answer." Private message me about what you mean here, if it is something you consider significant.

[jacquefresco]

@SpiritLadyArtist I would attribute the reason for it to the desire people have for certainty. Anytime someone provides grounds for certainty, you will see a formation of this social phenomenon. It happens in politics, social movements, even in business; anywhere a group has a goal. However, clinical criteria used to diagnose a cult is very specific. Nevertheless, it is used as an easy and convenient form of sloppy criticism (and it is quite effective in scaring people away).

[SpiritLadyArtist]

@jacquefresco I mean when you see that behavior work to change it. There are many ways to get to the RBE and this is a great way to go but as you say your designs will be improved on as time goes on. I am Barb and I tried to get you to work with Jason Beghe. I found out the hard way politics is not the answer.

[SpiritLadyArtist]

@jacquefresco I find most groups have that aspect to it. I was in a real cult and I see it in most places these days. Corporations has it for sure.

Fan is part of it for sure. Though I would like to tell you that some of your fans do act cultish. I know I ran into them on Facebook. I am making a suggestion that you tend to say to hold that back but I know you can't control it as well. It must be something inside of man that causes it. I ran into the why but forget what it is.
