Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism

Multiple people recommended this to me and I was secretly like “IDK I already know a lot about cults” but I really appreciated the specific linguistic arguments being presented about the power of language in cults. I liked the bit of backstory from Amanda revealing that her dad had been raised by a cult and I think that contributed to the very empathetic way she writes about people who have joined cults. Really smart and compelling!
