It's not hard. People feel very purposeless and bored these days. Just come up with a compelling premise that will give them something to worship and look forwards to and then start shilling for your cult, online or in person in places where people are open-minded to new and esoteric ideas.

Make sure you are utilizing your natural charisma and establishing a camaderie with potential recruits. People don't particularly care for being shilled for towards people and things they haven't formed positive feelings towards. Or make sure you are able to induce a sense of mystique that will gain their intrigue.

>in places where people are open-minded to new and esoteric ideas.
Where do I find those sort of places? On TikTok for example?

Yes. It got buried beneath the school grinding but when I was a child I was the star of my class, leading a group of 6 friends. I've also accidentally managed to convince 2 people to change their careers just by talking to them. And I really like to push uplift and motivate people.

take a massive dose of LSD and then give your cult members LSD and then hypnotize them while they are under the influence

All the successful ones have enormous charisma and persuasion abilities along with an assortment of mental disorders usually including sociopathy and narcissism as a minimum. Autismos have no chance: they're like the polar opposite of what you'd want for this build.

Autismos are almost always the cult followers. They never lead them, they always fall for them. Psychopaths lead them. And psychopaths always knows how to spot the gullible the same way sharks know how to smell blood in water.

>How do I become a successful cult leader?

Successful and cult leader is an oxymoron. Because cult leaders are only as successful as their followers. That's the point of being cult leader, you recruit affluent but stupid people, rich idiots, and you mooch off if their money to finance you. You convince skilled or gifted people to fall into your verbal honey trap and then you make them work for you. Cult leaders are never successful, that's why they require having a daycare to wipe their ass for them, they just call it a 'cult'.

Anyway the method of cult leading is simple:
>Pick a social or political problem
>Find the wounded of that problem, the disenfranchised, the broken, the desperate
>Convince them you have the solution (you don't)
>Convince them you have the keys to success, peace, eternal love (you don't)
>Embody those things falsely, pretending you have what you say you have.
>Convince others if they do as you say and live out your lessons, they took can be like you
>Once they follow, you keep them following. You know there is no end goal and no paradise for them. But you maintain the illusion to keep them following
>Invent a bunch of arbitrary goalposts and activities that you know gets them nowhere. But pretend it gets them what they look for
>Watch them fail as expected
>When they do, act as a false comforter. But convince them it was because they did not wholy believe in you enough or follow closely enough, encourage more devotion from them (usually in money or resources)
>Make sure they always stay self consumed, only blaming themselves and not you
>Rinse and repeat until feds kick in your door or one of the followers goes rogue and either kills you or causes a schism in your cult

The end

Well not the end because I wanna keep running my mouth.

Cults are short lived these days and rarer. Cults aren't as sustainable as they once were Vs. back in the day. Because of social media, the internet and modern culture has forced everyone to be interconnected, at least on the surface.

It's easier to blow whistles on cults and expose frauds now, but that isn't the main problem. The big problem is now there is no longer a need for cults and their leaders. Because ideology runs rampant online. People can be sucked into cult mentality without even needing a cult. Take blackpill ideology for example. It operates the exact same way as cult-think. Any radical idea is now out there online for anyone to get swept up in.

Before the internet, the cult leader could be the deliverer of extreme possessive ideology and profit from it. Now the internet does the job without the need for a cult leader. In other words, to be a cult leader now today means to compete with ideology itself, and you will always lose that fight because ideology is invincible and untouchable.

1. Be attractive
2. Tell your ideas to women who are attracted to you - they will believe it
3. Tell them to spread your word and appreciate them as they do
4. If men arrive, construct a pyramid scheme where you gain clout and favour based on seniority of joining date. Neglect one of your women in his presence and wingman for him.
