Hoodwinked by the Algorithm: Dr. Mara Einstein on Cult Tactics in Marketing (Part 1)

You don't have to join a cult to get manipulated—just log onto the internet. This week on A Little Bit Culty, we're diving into the marketing matrix with Dr. Mara Einstein, professor, media critic, and author of Hoodwinked: How Marketers Use the Same Tactics as Cults. From influencer culture and MLMs to “brand cults” and rage farming, Mara breaks down how modern marketing preys on fear, insecurity, and our need to belong. She joins Sarah and Nippy for a deep-dive into the culty parallels between conversion funnels and recruitment tactics, why brands like Apple and Lululemon are more community than commerce, and how social media algorithms corral us into echo chambers where we become both the audience and the product. If you've ever felt like your phone is reading your mind, or like the coaching industry is selling more promises than progress, this one's for you. This is Part 1 of a two-part convo.

The story so far: Three friends are trapped in an underground movie rental store managed by a magical anthropomorphic mole man, have adventures, and watch movies to pass the time and figure ways out of predicaments. This week, we deal with the mental and emotional consequences of our time travel actions. Knowing we're in the presence of some sort of evil cult, we dive into Enter the Devil (1972) to try to learn more about it! For a movie on the video nasties list, it's lacking in a lot of areas, but we talk about it and only veer off topic occasionally to discuss monkey bones, The DEER Hunter, cults of compliments, and stripping train conductors. Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we'll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229)Next movie announced every Wednesday.

Laura McConnell grew up in a fundamentalist sect with no name. Along with no official title, the group also claims to have no registration around the world, no formal hierarchy, and no official places of worship. According to Laura, it's this secrecy and denial that has allowed abuse to flourish within the community.

Los Angeles, 1969. The air hums with peace, love, and revolution—until it doesn't. A string of brutal murders rips through the city, orchestrated by a man with wild eyes and a twisted gospel: Charles Manson. The CIA. The FBI. MKUltra. Mind control. Cults. Conspiracy.

We're revisiting the Manson Family Murders—not the story you know, but the one Tom O'Neill uncovered in Chaos.

In this gripping episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost plunge into the underworld of global manipulation, connecting modern geopolitical unrest with occult ideologies, intelligence ops, and the weaponization of narrative. They open with the shocking story of a 17-year-old killer groomed by a Satanic neo-Nazi cult known as the Order of Nine Angles, an organization with direct ties to Atomwaffen, Islamic extremism, eco-terrorism, and, astonishingly, FBI funding. The duo unpacks the cult's methods, occult origins, and global reach, showing how intelligence agencies worldwide weaponize fringe ideologies to destabilize societies. Ukraine emerges as a central hub of this dark web, fueling trafficking, radicalization, and psyops, while U.S. officials quietly back a rickety foreign policy built on lies and blood money. The conversation widens into the 2024 resurrection of the Iran nuclear deal, an agreement that could reshape energy, regional power dynamics, and expose Israel's long-denied nuclear arsenal. Matt and Ghost dissect the global elite's resistance to nuclear energy democratization and how Western oligarchs push deindustrialization under the green mask. From ancient mysticism to modern sabotage, this episode traces the fingerprints of empire, revealing how false flags, ideological grooming, and strategic ignorance are used to maintain control. It's part history lesson, part red-pill overdose, and absolutely essential listening.

In this jaw-dropping episode, Jon Herold and Zak "RedPill78" Paine sit down with BX for an extended conversation that dives headfirst into the disturbing world of online terror cults, child grooming networks, and satanic accelerationism. They unpack the chilling connections between the attempted Trump assassination and a Ukrainian-based neo-Nazi cult called MKU, exploring how foreign actors are weaponizing platforms like Telegram, Discord, and even Roblox to radicalize vulnerable youth into carrying out violent attacks. BX shares her extensive research on the Maniac Murder Cult, Order of Nine Angles, and 764, revealing a tangled web of satanic ritual, terrorism handbooks, gore groups, and extremist meme warfare. They break down how these groups manipulate kids with nihilism, violence, and shock content, and how the FBI, after years of denial, is finally catching on. From MKU's grotesque “Haters Handbook” to FBI indictments, school shootings, and a thwarted plan to poison children with ricin-laced candy, this episode exposes a terrifying subculture hiding in plain sight. Jon and Zak push through the darkness with sharp wit and a strong message for parents: if your kid is online, they might already be a target.

Her latest book, Terror, Love, and Brainwashing: Attachment in Cults and Totalitarian Systems, was released as a second edition in 2021. She is also the author of Inside Out: A Memoir of Entering and Breaking Out of a Minneapolis Political Cult. She presented her statement for the Congressional Record for the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol titled Political Cults and the Use of Cultic Tactics in the Recruitment and Mobilization of Participants in the January 6 Attack on the Capitol.

 Cult survivors often have the instinct to want to save as many people as possible from the cult they survived. However, healing from the things they encountered while in the cult is often a first step before a survivor can help others escape. Cult survivors usually seek to heal with some form of therapy and move on. Nori was a member of ISKCON from 1978 to 1988. As a member of the PR office, Nori lived in a bubble with some of the cult's abuses hidden from her so she could maintain her positive opinion of the cult as part of her work. After leaving the cult, Nori learned about the abuse of women and children in the cult. The University of Illinois Press published Nori's memoir, Betrayal of the Spirit, in 1997. After that she wrote and self-published Child of the Cult and Cult Survivor's Handbook For a more detailed look at the atrocities the Hare Krishnas committed, check out the documentary Monkey on a Stick: Murder, Madness, and the Hare Krishnas.

In this episode, we unpack the very important debate: pink jobs vs blue jobs — and who's actually winning the podcast war, men or women? We get into the Alabama Barker vs Bhad Bhabie beef (yes, we have opinions), and ask the tough questions like: why do kids in private school uniforms keep trying to convert me or poison me with home-baked cookies at the salon? Also: Chris could never get angry, but Kelly? I can absolutely see her throwing hands in a parking lot. We talk about the “no soliciting” sign that no one reads, what it's like to grow up in a trap house, and why I fully wait for my team to leave the salon parking lot before I do (no, I'm not paranoid, it's safety. Ok maybe a little paranoid). Plus: shake plates, anxiety hacks, tattooed heretics, and the fever dream that ended with me firing a client. THConversation is where humor, heart, and healing collide — and this episode is a ride. Hit play, because there's so much more where that came from.

Larry Moore - Cults on Trial - A Cross-Examination of Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Hitler… and Donald TrumpMay 6, 2024Dr. Moore is a Pre-Sentence Investigator for Alabama Circuit Courts, with previous careers as an ordained pastor, college educator, and author. He holds a doctoral degree from Emory University, and has been a repeat guest on various TV and radio programs. His previous eight books have garnered widespread positive reviews.The Culture of CultsOur current malaise raises questions:• Are we all soul-stained with selfishness... or is it just ahealthy survival instinct?• Where is the line between normal self-interest and full-blown Narcissism?• How do we distinguish strong leadership frommanipulation? Community from Cult?Drawing upon court cases and real world experiences, this book shows how cult gurus and “cult cultures” fit a predictable pattern, a common template of destructive traits and tactics. By studying Cult Culture, the author argues, we gain insight into current politics and Fascist demagogues.First relating his own encounter with disillusioned cult members, author Lance Moore dissects the phenomena, exposing the methods of manipulation found in cult leaders —and on a smaller scale, in our own relationships.This book is well-researched: it includes over 500 endnotes citing 500 Sources.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
