    Why is it that LaRouchites just seem to use big words and concepts as if they were a big rubber mallet to strike you on the head with. These people just throw shit out to be as confusing as possible so you don't realize they make no fucking sense at all. Someone handed me a LaRouche zine on the sidewalk in college and it was just pages and pages of this shit, ravings of lunatics creating their own symbolic languages understood only by themselves. But when you peel back what they actually want from all the nonsense that they say its like they want a big bridge and music is a bit wrong and communists get the wall. oh wow such big ideas

      I think it's also because learning the new symbolic language takes time and effort, so the person will probably feel a sunk cost if they suspect all their effort was for nothing. Seems like this is a feature of most cults as well
