I think if we spin it as a cult/a mental illness we could offer some empathetic support to people trying to escape. But yeah, other than that–and those types of people, a minority, will look for escape either way–we shouldn’t cater to them, agreed.
Maybe, but there’s a reason groups like that try to present mental illness as a weakness and personal failing. They don’t want their members to develop empathy, even for themselves.
