Challenging Beliefs
Throughout history, a few thinkers have revolutionized our understanding of the world. Copernicus introduced the heliocentric view, Darwin proposed evolution, and Freud revealed the unconscious mind’s influence.
The Rise of Cults
However, another force has also shaped human history: the power of the cult. Cults tap into emotions, exploiting deep-seated fears, hates, and desires. In politics, this manifests as charisma, propaganda, and the celebration of irrationalism.
Fascist Movements
Fascist movements in Italy and Germany exemplified this, with leaders like Hitler and Mussolini leveraging emotions to control society.
Cult Politics in Pakistan
In Pakistan, conditions are ripe for cult politics to flourish. A sham democracy, feudalism, and a disenchanted middle class have contributed to the rise of leaders like Imran Khan, who has built a following by defining enemies and promising sweeping changes.
The Power of Disillusionment
Cults can only be defeated when their followers become disillusioned. Until then, logic, arguments, and laws will be powerless against their emotional appeal.
