Awww Yeah vol. 84

"Much of today’s upper class is engaged in a frenzy of self-improvement. They want to be skinnier, healthier, younger-looking, smarter, nicer, more loving and, since Trump assumed the presidency, more politically aware too. But were they truly improving? They may eat more vegetables, but this age seems more narcissistic than any before, more beholden to snake oil, and has put many individuals in the grip of an uneasy self-image toggling between unrealistic grandiosity and soul-crushing envy. Nxivm positioned itself as the true self-improvement gospel."

Cult’

Preached Empowerment

Why did female members of Nxivm
follow a guru named Keith Raniere,
who now stands accused
of sex trafficking?
He made them feel
like they were in control.
