My mom believes that Wikipedia is “influenced and censored.” She didn’t like Fargo when my uncle tricked her into watching it, so claimed that the Wikipedia article describing its awards (7 Oscar noms, 2 wins, etc.) were part of the demon-influenced liberal agenda.
There’s a difference between a cultist living thru the growth of the Internet and social media. It’s another when you have people completely cut off from the vast majority of the world and information for the last few decades.
arguably that could even be more difficult. I’m pretty sure in South Korea they have to keep North Korean escapees separated from everyone else for a few months as they introduce them to technology, re-reeducate them, and teach them how to live in a regular society.
The culture shock and sudden information overflow can easily cause someone to shut off and refuse to take anything new in
it might be the pessimist in me, or it might be the reality we’re living in
but if sheer access to Wikipedia cured you out of being a cultist- i don’t think there’d be that many trump supporters
Facts don’t cure stupid… Sadly

So no, Wikipedia doesn’t cure cultism.
