The Cult Lifestyle B I K E R S C L U B ® | www.bikersclub.in What is a Cult? With our thoughts, we make the world WWW.BIKERSCLUB.IN Cult people are usually psychopaths with a desire for power and often take ideas from politics, religion and psychology to fulfil their purpose, it said. Through mind control, they are able to filter their thoughts and behaviours into "fanatical faith and belief" among followers. What does the cult of personality mean? A cult of personality, or cult of the leader, arises when a country's regime or, more rarely, an individual uses the techniques of mass media, propaganda, the big lie, spectacle, the arts, patriotism, and government-organized demonstrations and rallies to create an idealized, heroic, and worshipful image of a leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. A cult of personality is similar to apotheosis, except that it is established by modern social engineering techniques, usually by the state or the party in one- party states and dominant-party states. It is often seen in totalitarian or authoritarian countries.
