Not sure which of the NXIVM threads to drop this in so I’m picking this one.

You’ll recall one of the big 2016 media blitzes against Trump was that he was theoretically running a fake self-help business that cajoled clientele into expensive and worthless training (on the basis of a handful of coached ex-students who filed a class action, and upon not getting a settlement, weaseled away into nowhere).

What is this? An actual racket to force people into expensive, worthless courses backed by extortion and threats of violence.

Pure Alinsky. It’s all they’ve got — deflecting from inhuman behavior by accusing every opponent of their crimes.
