Yes, cults come in every shape from the religious nuts to the anti vaxers. They are all destructive and dangerous.

True if a little banal, I think that almost all people are aware of that. But like a lot of seemingly obvious things, it is a good point that can get lost behind the clutter, so it is well to restate it clearly now and again.

There are perhaps though, two kinds of cults, those which were started with good intentions, and later turned toxic, and those that were intended to be toxic from the start, but put up a falsely benign front to attract people in.
