"What you have mentioned until now is labelling by anti-cult network using word cult or sect basically initially against religious minorities. So is this a question of religion first and foremost? Not at all. From analytical perspective, religion is often only the certain point, or more precisely the test and ground where these mechanisms become socially normalized. Over time, the same stigmatizing patterns expand far beyond religious minorities. We can observe the similar rhetoric being used against civil society organizations, NGOs, businesses, political movements, journalists and public figures. Even organizations such as Amnesty International and many others have at times been portrayed within certain information environments through narratives implying manipulation, hidden agendas, or in control, or destructive influence. Narratives structurally correspond to classical anti-cult framing. Increasingly these mechanisms are also being directed against political parties and politicians. Once political and public discourse accepts the idea that certain groups can be labelled as irrational, manipulative, dangerous or socially toxic, the range of potential targets naturally broadens. From an OSIN standpoint, this demonstrates an amplifying pattern of stigmatization. What may initially appear as rhetoric directed at the specific religious communities gradually evolves into a wider instrument of delegitimization affecting diverse parts of democratic society."
