A group that positions itself as fighting against cults—their mind control, authoritarian leadership, and isolation of members—but ends up replicating the same dynamics it condemns. Anti‑cult cults demand absolute loyalty to their leaders (often prominent skeptics or ex‑members), enforce rigid orthodoxy about what counts as "critical thinking," isolate members from outside relationships, and engage in public shaming of defectors. They are cults that define themselves purely through opposition, unable to see the mirror. The term captures the irony of fighting fire with fire and burning yourself.
