Not one person tells him/her/it to slow the fuck down.

It's Reddit, and a troon sub specifically. Would you expect anything else from that validation engine?

It’s exactly how cults work.

Ignore your doubts, turn off your reasoning brain, accept our love, cut anyone that disagrees out of your life.

The fact that this cult spread with such speed and was given so much political cover is astonishing.

Bet the people running Scientology are seething with envy :D.

Scientology had to run a covert op on the IRS in order to blackmail their way to political cover - and it now seems like their time is coming to an end as more and more of their shit is revealed.

Consequence of social media and COVID restrictions moving a lot of the public discourse online. Reddit always had problems but during COVID the mods got more power than normal and went on the authoritarian warpath cultivating their own little fiefdoms where they are supreme arbiter of opinion.

It's not even necessarily unusual. Cults do the same thing. If you are a cult member and you start asking difficult questions about the dogma you'll be excommunicated. Especially in really restrictive ones where they'll manufacture some excuse like "he was reading some unapproved material" because why else would you be asking questions?
