Again, only because you are picking a very reductive surface level quote.
"People are lying to you, believe us" isn't culty. You are also twisting words, because "we alone tell you the truth" is not part of the discourse you are comparing to QAnon.
Sure. But I'm not going to write an essay to back my position right now with numerous examples.
I respect many of the far lefts beliefs like economic policy, pressure against the right wing, social policies supporting poor. I don't respect the extreme distrust of media, violent retoric (when I see it), ideological purism, because it comes off as culty
Should note that I see less violent retoric from the far left than the far right, hence "when I see it"
