A cult has nothing to do except to hate. (to stay intact, demonizing everyone else.)
This ensures the agenda of the head programmer.

Read any book or article on cults.
A bit more detail here:

Just copying the nazi playbook.
Their credo:
"I believe in"
Racism
Homophobia
Anti-Semitism
The violent overthrow of elected government
Misogyny, and
A LIE AS BIG AS THE SUN
These are basically cult practices.

I used to post some of the attributes. Most came from "When Society is an Addict" and "The Addictive Organization" by Anne Wilson Schaef. Addiction and co-dependence share many behaviors with cults. They suck you in and keep you trapped. (I am not a psychologist. I just needed to understand things around me.) Keyword: PROJECTION. It's everywhere, so we don't even see it any more.
Mainly, words have no attachment to reality. They are used only for effect.
So, issues can flip, as long as they isolate and distance the "others"
Of course, the targeted groups I gave are "easy" for them. Disturbingly, even if members of those groups are part of the cult. "Well, you're black, but at least you aren't Jewish" kinds of crap --- that's played out right now. (and you know who I mean) And then it gets turned around. All very sick stuff.
WHY DOES THIS SEEM STRANGE?
Because we are not cult members.
And why Putin? Put the puzzle pieces together and the picture becomes clear.
This is all a Russian plan. Started years ago.

This also explains a lot (about projection)
