Hinduism, Neo-Hinduism, the Bhakti and Advaita Vedanta movements have looked beyond the caste (varna and jati) social hierarchy systems, but Wokism would take those gains away as it is focused on classism and class warfare. Wokism also takes Hinduism farther from the Vedic tradition. Live 7/26/2025.

So many on the Left (and others) call MAGA and Trumpsters a cult, but I 100% disagree. It may or may not have cult-like attributes, but according to traditional academic definitions its not a cult. Based on my own experience in a religious cult, years studying cults, and following politics I put this argument to rest in what I believe in a concise detailed argument. This is not about defending MAGA, but using the word "cult" properly, because if everything is a cult (or racist, nazi, etc) than nothing is, and it devalues the trauma of those involved, not to mention clouds our intellectual assessment of things. Live 7/12/2025, pre-recorded May 2025.0:00 – Intro to debunking MAGA is a cult based on Robert J. Lifton's 8 points of cult criteria | long lists of cult criteria excludes people | short lists of cult criteria makes everything a cult3:13 – Why discuss MAGA & cults vs religious topics4:50 – Cults must have all 8 points of Lifton's criteria to be a cult7:26 – MAGA is not all conservatives8:54 – Ex-member of Adidam cult10:22 – Overview of Lifton's 8 points (pdf can be found here )11:09 – Cult criteria point 1: Milieu control - controlling communication & losing autonomy | book banning & censorship | punishment | isolation | us vs them (i.e. fear of the stranger) | acting & speaking a certain required way | MAGA is not all the same, hating a stereotype27:00 – Cult criteria point 2: Mystical Manipulation - conformity & cult is the only path to salvation | claiming to be a god/divine | becoming a group pawn38:17 – Cult criteria point 3: Demand For Purity - good vs absolutely evil | individual vs group | conservatives as all hateful & unchanging | shame | confusing, black & white thinking47:29 – The R.I.N.O. situation (i.e. Republican In Name Only)50:22 – Cult criteria point 4: Confession - group confession sessions | Scientology pit | keeping secrets to avoid punishments | Candace Owens & Ben Shapiro reputations | Christian hypocrisy55:57 – Sub-set smaller groups do not represent all of MAGA58:29 – Cult criteria point 5: Sacred Science - sacredness around basic doctrine (world vision) | Adidam eternal copyright | criticizing beliefs | reaching out to young people1:03:26 – Cult criteria point 6: Loaded Language - thought stopping jargon & words given new insider meanings | Adidam new definition of cult | liberals always change definitions | Make America Great Again1:06:36 – Cult criteria point 7: Doctrine over person - personal feelings/experience vs official doctrine, contradictions & doubts | asking questions not allowed | lack of Trump ideology, as is only an empty brand1:15:33 – Cult criteria point 8: Dispensing of Existence - vision of truth & fear manipulation of outside evil | leaving a cult | losing family who is MAGA | bad outcomes after leaving cult1:20:09 – Concluding thoughts | broad generalities | authoritative list of cult criteria, debunking other criteria for cults

For years, I followed the so-called spiritual path. Believing everything and anything, including joining a cult. It took years of purging to find the truth, and committing to the path of Sanatana Dharma. If you're a seeker who's sick of the fluff, who believes that science, logic, and scripture can coexist, and who believes fake spirituality has run rampant, and who's searching for a light at the end of the dark tunnel we call life, Well then, you're in the right place. I challenge lazy philosophy, and speak directly to seekers daily struggles. I'm not here to entertain, but to provoke thought and a life of dharma. So, welcome to my show.

Reacting to Vaishnava guru Chris Butler (aka Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa). He is a former member of ISKCON (during the lifetime of Swami Prabhupada) who started his own group of Krishna devotees in Hawaii, today called the Science of Identity Foundation, and said to be Krishna or "akin to god" by ex-devotees. He is famous for his negative teachings of Muslims, LGBTQ, and being Tulsi Gabbard's former spiritual guru. This video is not about Tulsi, her family, her recent nomination as Director of National Intelligence, nor the cult accusations surrounding Jagad Guru, but just looking at what he says in the moment (which is my approach to all guru reaction videos). Live 5.10.2025.
