Cults - Once You Join, Can You Ever Leave? (Part 2)

In Part II of our exploration into cults, we dive into nationalist movements that took on cult-like qualities, *wielding (holding or using) powerful ideological control over their followers.

This episode covers three infamous nationalist groups: the Nazi Party in Germany, Cambodia's Khmer Rouge, and Israel's IDF.

We'll unpack the psychological techniques behind nationalist *fervor (intense feelings), examining how enthusiastic leaders and propaganda shape group identities and behaviours.

We'll also explore the consequences of unchecked nationalism, from widespread *indoctrination (brainwashing) and unquestioning loyalty to devastating human rights abuses.

Enhance your English skills while navigating sensitive historical topics. We'll introduce advanced vocabulary, powerful idioms, and grammar structures focused on critical analysis.
