Summarization
Tweets discuss people believing and hearing what they want to hear and feeling a satisfaction from being right, this also being a kind of ‘drug’. Fox News is unreliable and people are afraid to challenge it's viewers. People are questioning a person's reasoning if they are not part of a group they are discussing - specifically the transgender population. Abusers often have power over the abused, making it hard to exit from a situation. People are reacting to an article that denounced a viewpoint but it goes against the militant, harmful and insulting language of Rowling. Dr. Steven Hassan is mentioned for approaching situations of deprogramming for someone in a cult-like situation, and the BITE model is discussed as well.
Topic Modeling
- Discrimination against Trans Women
- Cult Influence
- Power Differential
- Misinformation
- BITE Model

| 1625605520785825794 | Thank you @CultExpert Steven Hassan, weighing in on the @hulu documentary about the #SarahLawrenceCult , some survivors used his book. "How easy is it to get trapped in a cult? #Cult deprogrammer says it can happen to anybody". https://t.co/xyq7gWevFU via @hereandnow | 5 |
| 1627920037557202947 | @CultExpert They didn’t break with them. It’s a repeat exercise, applied several times over the past decades whenever there was a little scrutiny. It’s an exercise in perception management. Nothing more. Long games. | 3 |
| 1626707661096902657 | @CultExpert Thx Dr. Hassan. It’s been an honor to do my part in preventing radicalization & help others to change by exiting cults & extremism. The process we utilize @_BeyondBarriers is Relational Dialogue. It functions like reverse osmosis on one’s mindset. Our shared #Humanity is 🔑 too. | 3 |
| 1627499095916163072 | @CultExpert I don't know. They're hearing what they want to hear. They get information that triggers them to experience the satisfaction of "Aha! I knew it! I was right and the nerdy smart people were wrong". Helluva drug. | 2 |
| 1625166705482960896 | @NikkiNikkitaGB If you have reasons to engage, like the now vatnik is friend or family, check out the work of Steven Hassan, PhD @CultExpert. A very sane friend of mine was born in a cult and got out, she endorses his work and knows him personally. There are ways to approach deprograming. | 2 |

| 1626940891700113409 | @CultExpert @meiselasb I do NOT feel badly for those millions! One does NOT get to live as an unpatriotic, hateful, selfish, racist, sexist, bigot THUG under the mantle of being “duped”!!! 😡 These TRAITORS were more than happy to overthrow democracy…they are just sad that they failed! ZERO sympathy! | 2 |
| 1626367582021488641 | @CultExpert 👀 "Steven Hassan entered the field of violent deprogramming, a practice described as 'protracted spiritual gang-rape' and 'the most serious violation of... religious liberty in this generation." https://t.co/v6eGvcwonq | 2 |

| 1626972332391600128 | @CultExpert @nytopinion I read the entire piece with an open mind. It seems like the author was not very thorough in her search, and the reality is that she and Rowling and others in their camp are in favor of exclusions against trans women. However they justify it, that is a fact. | 26 |

| 1627507255837949954 | @CultExpert Did my own experiment today. Conflation. Deflection. Misdirecrion. Whataboutism. It literally means nothing to them. | 23 |
| 1626957158624505856 | @CultExpert @nytopinion Is the author trans? If not, then no thanks. Just another version of "White author says there's no racism." | 20 |
| 1626971763211919360 | @CultExpert “I don’t believe you should exist” is not a viewpoint we need to consider valid. | 19 |
| 1627003093660360705 | @CultExpert @nytopinion It is not her personal view that (necessarily) bothers me. I can disagree with her on that. It is her militant, ongoing drumbeat of insulting & condescending commentary using the guise of feminism that is as harmful as it is dreadful. | 19 |
| 1627501310932307968 | @CultExpert @CMargaronis I'd be surprised if 10% of their viewers even know about any of this. Of that 10% I'd guess none of them believe it's true. | 17 |
| 1626952868648321025 | @CultExpert There are some strong unreliable narrator vibes going on with that thread, not the least the writer's refusal to disclose what platform they were supposedly writing for, or what the methodology was. I'd personally caution against treating it as credible | 17 |
