Ep 79 AA Cult Logic: You’re The Problem #CultyComments
About this episode
Rule #1 of a cult? It’s not a cult. Rule #2? You’re the problem.
In this episode of #CultyComments, we dive into a classic AA-defender mindset: “You’re just bashing AA—you offer nothing helpful!” But what happens when you do offer resources... and they still say you’re wrong?
🧠 This video explores:
— Why AA ideology can’t tolerate dissent
— The gaslighting built into “it works if you work it”
— Why deconstructing AA ≠ bashing
— And why AA’s tiny market share proves it's not “the only way”
