And for the majority of Americans cults just get laughed at as well. At least until it started leaking into politics, but that is being seen in many other countries now, too.

A lot of Americans are doing horrible things, and there definitely is something about the culture here that affects that, as you don't see the mass shooting and school shooting issues in other parts of the world as strongly. But coming at this saying that it doesn't really happen outside of the USA and that it doesn't happen in the UK is just ridiculous. If you make a statement that infers you don't understand per capital, then you'll get a reply making that rebuttal.

I literally did not say they don't happen I said they're not a major problem they're really rare and don't get very big here
