How To Tell if YOU'RE IN A CULT (and how to leave)

Have you ever shouted at a barista in defense of freedom? Do you feel strangely loyal to a man in a trucker hat who sells miracle supplements and vague outrage? You might be in a cult — and not even the fun fur-robe-wearing kind.In this important (and only slightly heretical) broadcast from the Nomadistan People’s News, we explore the telltale signs of accidental indoctrination — and offer a gentle, mango-scented exit strategy. No shouting. No shame. Just stories, laughter, and one dangerously open-ended question that might unstick your soul. Welcome to freedom—Phase One.OFFICIAL SITE FOR NOMADISTAN NEWS AND INFORMATIONhttps://nomadistannews.comThis video contains state-approved entertainment designed to keep you joyfully uninformed while pretending you’re engaged in civic life. Issued directly by the Ministry of Distraction, these videos feature parades of progress, ceremonial nonsense, and occasional wisdom disguised as satire.Remember: If you’re laughing, you’re not revolting.Carry on, Citizen.Wanna Support All That We Do?🎉 PATREON - https://unplanned.life🎁 AMAZON STORE - https://www.amazon.com/shop/rickhiggins🔗 WEBSITE - https://rickhiggins.comBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/rickhigginsVenmo: https://venmo.com/u/thepiratewandererPaypal: https://paypal.me/thepiratewandererThis is obviously (I say obviously because someone won't get the obviousness), a satire on world current events. I don't believe that the endless echo chamber "debates" that only seem to serve shareholder value are doing much to start meaningful change towards reason and sanity. So Nomadistan is our example. Struggles, mistakes, but always with the goal of people in mind, not profit.If you'd like to play along, please comment early and often, but keep it kind and civil. Because my other strong believe is that one moves forward by bulling others into submission.POLITICS, SATIRE, CULTURE, LIFEThis episode of The Nomadistan People’s News explores a question many of us never thought we’d have to ask: "Am I in a cult?" But in an age where belief systems come with merch, talking points, and social media algorithms designed to reinforce outrage, the line between community and control has gotten blurry. This video offers a satirical but sincere roadmap for identifying the warning signs of cult-like behavior — whether that’s in a political movement, spiritual awakening, or multi-level marketing scheme that also sells prophecy.Nomadistan is a fictional nation with a very real mission: to question the systems that define our lives, laugh at the absurdity of modern tribalism, and gently open the door to better ways of thinking — without screaming or selling anything. Through humor, storytelling, and critical satire, we peel back the layers of indoctrination that too often pass for identity, inviting viewers to reflect without judgment. This is not a callout — it’s a campfire. One where mangoes are just mangoes, and doubt is a virtue.The Nomadistan brand spans YouTube, Substack, and social media, combining vintage-style propaganda visuals, parody news broadcasts, and fictional worldbuilding to examine very real issues. From nationalism and healthcare to personal freedom and belief, we explore what happens when you let go of certainty and embrace curiosity. Every video on this channel starts as a long-form essay or satirical article, carefully crafted to spark thought and conversation.If you're tired of being told what to think — and more interested in thinking for yourself — you're in the right place.
