It looks like they're avoiding using the Desteni name too much. But, yes, so many of these projects, like "anti-hate" on YouTube, are just an exercise in perpetuating an "us and them" - "oh, we are being unfairly persecuted by abusive people who haven't done the research" kind of situation. The main purpose it seems to serve is to retain the existing members. <br /><br />A big part of their process involves spamming just for the sake of it, so the fact that regular Reddit contributors will immediately cotton on to their game doesn't necessarily make any difference. The point is to redeem the world from evil by spamming ;PDesteni Cult bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240425830239937974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702202709140996242.post-27919766916753756422012-05-04T15:55:18.890-04:002012-05-04T15:55:18.890-04:00Yeah, you're right, it is a good laugh.

We'll see if Bernard just limits the conversation to their own subreddits or if he continues to try and spam others.<br /><br />Here are other reddit they control (more stuff to give you insight into their craziness)<br /><br />http://www.reddit.com/r/equalmoneylife/<br /><br />http://www.reddit.com/r/Desteni/<br /><br />Looking at reddit posts it seems there is only a core group of posters/commenters from this small cult. Seems they've taken on the project but it is unclear what means they hope to get other than leaking out their craziness to even more people who will see their obvious deception. Perhaps it's just another Bernie project that creates the "us vs. them" dynamic that is needed for group cohesion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702202709140996242.post-54418833136118862712012-05-04T13:45:59.724-04:002012-05-04T13:45:59.724-04:00They've been sussed already.

But it is a good laugh reading their exchanges with other people.<br /><br />Here's another one after Poolman posted an article saying Jesus was a true atheist http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/t021x/atheism_failed_as_home_for_reasonDesteni Cult bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240425830239937974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702202709140996242.post-84373247051090476482012-05-04T11:48:50.707-04:002012-05-04T11:48:50.707-04:00I actually hope that Destonians are influenced by ...I actually hope that Destonians are influenced by going on Reddit. There they might find more contact with sane people, especially if they participate and get allured by all the various sections. It also lets them speak to others outside their cult.

Nice thing though is other people can report their marketing efforts to subgroups that they don't own. I just reported a post by them because i thought it was inappropriate.<br /><br />Obviously the Journey to Life group is just one massive echo chamber controlled by them and posted by them but other non members can vote up or down. It's interesting that despite their "800" fake members they don't have the numbers of up hits on theses entries. Also will be nice to see what they are writing about- this is one way to go public that might bite them in the ass as they vomit their foolish doctrines. <br /><br />You can also see that Bernard is trying his luck in the atheism, spirituality, activism, worldpolitics, and psychology sections of Reddit for recruits. So clearly there is a type of person they look for. People that are looking for answers or are frustrated. One entry that made me laugh was manu guy saying " we are the elite!" Hahahahah... now they are identifying with what they claim to hate. See it at<br /><br />http://www.reddit.com/r/worldpolitics/comments/sq1po/market_forces_and_the_elite_read_to_find_out_who/<br /><br />Lastly, notice how Bernard has no comment karma. He just spills his stuff and doesn't allow for discussion- even with this followers.<br /><br />Loads of insight here to dissect their freaky behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702202709140996242.post-40988858994602802382012-05-03T23:04:26.962-04:002012-05-03T23:04:26.962-04:00Speaking of spam, I think I've figured out why...Speaking of spam, I think I've figured out why there were 8000 false likes.<br />as any other cult, as i know, they use SCRIPTS to change the amount of likes. now i need to know how.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
