MoistCr1tikal Reacts to Exploring A Reddit Cult by Barely Sociable with Twitch Chat

had an early head start but it looks like cult one will do cult and it's shorter anyway so this will be a good taste of the channel anyway it goes without saying things are smooth for a very good reason they are known to indoctrinate people manipulate them use them as a collective for the goals of an individual cult leader or a harmful belief system in many cases they target individuals that are very five youth desperate people tend to look for desperate answers and tend to not use their better judgment take for instance the story of the miracle mineral supplement that claimed to cure just about anything hey i remember that autism and as it would turn out not only did it not cure any disease did not help any disease but also contained bleach cults thrive when followers of an individual collective prescribe themselves to blind misinformation without today we're going to dive back into retracing the digital footsteps of one such cult this is the story of the now defunct reddit cult of cantal moism i i've been on reddit since day one going from dig to reddit and i've never heard of kanto mozart our topic first started for more internet mysteries to do videos on and i was on another popular subreddit called the reddit bureau of investigation and i found a post that read the following subreddit where every subject an absurd amount of times here is iss gold the subreddit in question i'm pretty positive they're all bots but why circle jerk thousands of dollars into gilding onto these posts for no reason at all there has to be so there are reddit gold cold first checked out this is cute it was still up but as of now has been made private in a nutshell there were countries a subreddit that contained a vast amount of reddit gold and silver at first it appeared like some sort of test subreddit something very similar to the youtube channel webdriver torso while i couldn't find any proof this was a test what i did find out for myself was what led me to this topic azer had commented that this could have a possible connection to r slash cantal moism which dropped me right into one of the most interesting things i like the name i've never come across on reddit trying to access some old middle earth you'll notice that the entire community has been banned what's interesting here is that reddit actually took notice of this community and banned it all together keep in mind there's some social scientology subreddit excuse me so what was so bad this one that reddit had to take action i will note the reason for this subreddit being banned is listed as for being unmoderated but i highly doubt that as you'll soon learn more details if you trace this entire situation back this all starts with a reddit user by the name of chris cgc whose real name is chris cantelmo who became a notorious credit for giving away upwards of seventy thousand dollars if you look into this guy's background you'll learn that he owns a medical company called gl sciences as well as a few other companies in the past very successful bit of money just to make sure he must use our slash finances they're used as gifts from one reddit user to another and are displayed on posts they are usually given out as a good job award for being particularly funny or helpful reddit silver is the cheapest reddit badge you can put on a post the next time embarrassing one week of reddit premium yeah there is reddit platinum which provides one month of reddit premium if you're unfamiliar with reddit premium membership including the option to turn off ads back to chris cgc he became well known as i said for randomly gilding posts on the r teenagers and r dank meme subreddit keep in mind this guy clearly targeted a younger demographic by going for those subreddits for example in this individual post it would cost about 350 dollars which features 69 platinum badges and uh he's an epic memer a big man who posted this this was imagine [ __ ] ceo being a member would basically be handing out money every single okay that's elon musk actually never mind even so common that they created an entire subreddit called children of chris dedicated to people who were gifted gold by him at first glance this guy was being generous with a lot of money and was reported to be spending thousands of dollars a day on gilded reddit posts as you can imagine many people didn't have a problem with this there's some free reddit premium memberships and it got to a point where people just pass this guy's name around and say message chris and send you gold as i said at first surprise i've never heard of this it seemed like this guy simply had a bunch of money to go around and was willing to pull stunts for the sake of entertainment but as time would go on he would reveal the actual motive behind these gilding sprees as a result of this guy guilding almost any post that was in his way many people were curious about the man behind the gildings a lot of people looked up to him because he was generous however in an interview done by insider meme trading after he gained some attention insider meme trading spree to which he responds saying he wanted to get the message actually cool name not gonna work cured cancer in case you're unfamiliar dmt is an incredibly powerful holy [ __ ] dmt or dimethyltryptamine has been studied in the field of cancer however there is no consistent peer-reviewed evidence that would suggest this in any way and let's be real here what is it the cure for cancer was found do you think a guy would have to do a publicity stunt do they also use that for joint pain to get the word out in the months to give me one second hold on sorry to pause but i need to look that up dmt this they also use that for joint pain don't they let me see no this isn't what i was thinking of i remember a couple years back i knew a guy that was pedaling hard for some like really pseudo-sciency liquid jarrah [ __ ] like it looked like what the xenomorphs were born out of and it was dimethyl something i remember that which is why it started to like [ __ ] winter soldier me there for a minute he was like this will just work this will cure your joint pain inflammation might make you taller it's going to make your beard more full dxm um maybe thanks hey sucks good to see you man thanks for the five gift subs sucks and lich jesus you give me the generosity tonight guys i've found some notoriety and certainly sounds like hgh result of his generosity no no no nothing i want to note here many of these followers were not in it for the sake of his teachings however they were a byproduct of being around him nonetheless a portion of people stuck around and did listen to what this guy had to say believers a subreddit we will get to many people started to outline the potential symptoms of a forming cult as i said earlier looking back on this situation i highly doubt it's like a real cold all the original threads surrounding up dudes not to mention chris cgc himself was also banned from reddit in fact chris has been banned more than once people collectively created a comprehensive list of alternate accounts that chris was creating and exposed in which we get a full understanding of the situation the sidebar of this individual subreddit cantomoism is a cult of personality centered around chris cantilmo who came to prominence on reddit through his mass gilding sprees the cult espouses a form of psychedelic new age pseudoscience ranging from innocuous beliefs to dangerous self oh okay okay members of our slash teenagers for recruitment we are here to aggregate information about cantomoism and help people make informed decisions for further recruitment among the pin threads on the subreddit we find one called outline of initial concerns with cantal moism here we learn quite a bit about this whole fiasco the thread reads the following i'm interested in whether or not any true cults have ever emerged on reddit i've been following chris cgc and his subcantil-moism yeah participating for the awards i had five years of premium after a few days of participation but once i had more than enough gold i continued to participate out of interest for what is the strangest most cult-like sub i've ever seen today it is starting to get more renewed interest by the reddit community as a leader chris cgc has been suspended by some sleeps and it was mentioned in a popular and just deleted ask reddit thread described as a really weird cult-like subreddit run by a guy who guilds literally all the posters he talks about how he has terminal brain cancer and that he's cured it with dmt and believes dmt can cure literally everything and and the users seem to agree for some reason my personal take is that he's a schizophrenic but i have no proof or just a scam artist what do you mean here's a few ways in which it seems like a cult mind-altering practices such as meditation chanting pablo in tier one sessions and abilities are used in excess perhaps the main tank of the whole cult is that dmt is a perfect and godly substance with no bad effects that everybody should be using and that it cures cancer and aids wow he's gone as far as saying that radiation and chemotherapy are torture and make patients worse not better which is extremely dangerous advice to people who have cancer he is also urgent damn did chris talk to steve jobs or something every day is he responsible for that interfering the sun to make us dumber the leadership induces feelings of shame and or guilt in order to influence and or control members often this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion this is a textbook and egregious example especially when it turned out that the user yanzizi didn't actually do anything wrong and the cult members refused to accept it the group is elitist claiming a special exalted status for itself its leaders and members the leader is considered the messiah a special being an avatar no [ __ ] way all because he was gifting reddit gold save humanity that's like just spitting in your face and then wiping it off reddit gold is useless the leader chris truly uselessly referred to as god he believes that he has special knowledge i need to look at what does reticle do doesn't it just grant you access to the reddit gold lounge like who cares so you hang out with some pretentious douchebags like does it do anything else let's see what is reddit gold i rewarded the post what can you do with it here we go so you get a week of reddit premium and a hundred coins you can use to give someone silver is there ads on reddit i've i can't say i perused the internet without an ad block in years is that like a big draw like you don't get ads for a week okay uh it seems like an awfully large thing to say that the guy who gives you reddit gold is the messiah jesus thinks the prime poison thinks the reasonable economy of the spirit world and wants to use the knowledge for the express goal of world peace the group is also preoccupied with bringing in new members monetary rewards are gifted with participating in the sub the group is preoccupied with money he spends thousands of dollars a day guilding members with reddit money and he also is increasingly paying members real money oh offering to pay for their plane rides that's a great deal when you're just giving away money spent over a hundred thousand dollars recruiting followers with a main focus yeah just [ __ ] pretend to call him the messiah who cares free cash from a weirdo but i think that thankfully most of these are not taken completely seriously by his followers his most devoted followers definitely still believe him though starting to catch on and get worried those seven for three days for telling people to call me or visit me to experience dmt as anti-cancer treatment he encourages schizophrenia and believes that it's caused by excess dmt and that hallucinations are completely real as the poster of this thread starts to update what goes into one of the podcast episodes that have now been deleted edit three i just listened to chris in this recent podcast episode and i can finally understand what people see in him as a leader and why his followers seem to love him i'm almost convinced that he's an amazing human being either that makes him less threatening because he's not the type of person to start a dangerous cult or more threatening because he is the type of person that could convince enough people yeah the first half is just a normal conversation which establishes trust in him before he transitioned to the crazier second half we learn how chris befriends the homeless and lets them come into his house whenever they want to that's kind of nice though he had enough space to let thousands of them sleep in his backyard what he does have over an acre maybe this guy is the messiah enough to start a commune cult on a smaller scale then in the second half he starts talking about dmt far less than sat monkey in the prime king joe he then makes some apocalyptic prophecies that he previously talked about on reddit he talks about things such as a recession worse than the great depression being imminent and world war three between us iran and israel being imminent as well however he does say that those two things will actually be good for everyone except the rich next tells us what his ideal society looks like he wants something beyond communism where money is made illegal it's not too big of a stretch to say that he might consider implementing such a society on a smaller scale money is a legal devoted followers lastly he talks about suicide at first he said he thinks the people who commit suicide go to a better place oh wow holy [ __ ] this is obviously a very scary idea when you look at how common is and cults he seems to be aware of this as he quickly changes his tune to say that he really thinks that people who commit suicide have to start their life all over again which would be boring overall we should have some jonestown vibes but mostly he just seems like an extremely mortal charitable and crazy person his followers fall in love with him for his morality then pop up for me kaiser will help you and that's where i think the danger lies all right now as i said previously the links are dead interesting going over to his website we can in fact see many of the claims and the beliefs held by this guy i'm gonna barf in the prime chronicle while it might be insane to think that many people even remotely entertain this guy he made examples out of a few of his devoted followers jonestown is one of the most wild stories up to fifteen thousand dollars as a result many people sucked up to him in hopes of financial gain but at the time reddit turned a blind eye as they were getting paid through the nose by this guy i personally believe as well as many other people that most of his so-called followers were just in it for this i'm crazy in the recent when you stop being handouts on a daily basis almost all of his followers started to turn on him for not providing evidence of his claims at first some people were willing to be patient since chris had never provided any proof towards his claims regarding dmt he came from a scientific background and would constantly post about his upcoming research being published however that obviously wait is this chris this guy doesn't look like a dank memeer at all it looks like tom hanks in character i thought i was gonna be a young guy cult leader my ass grandpa point you one of cantal moism's give me back that red gold chris which led to him getting doxxed this led to death threats for leaving the group and ultimately this situation was starting to spiral later on death threats would flood into basically anyone critiquing the group however many people noticed that in many cases chris on an alternate account in an effort to keep some of his followers on the hook without any financial incentives chris became desperate and would make alt accounts pretending to be new exactly that they were working on a story about his research however obviously people saw right through this up to this point even the most devoted followers started to not be able to turn a blind eye towards his childish behavior in many situations he resorted to name-calling like a five-year-old and in other cases i mean reid was listening with cancer that he was an idiot as a result his own subreddit turned against him it read the following this is a place for a very mentally ill man named chris cantomo to post his craziness please get this man help and don't support him he has no money left no family left and nothing good in his life damn chris [ __ ] blasted on your own dank meme where around a month ago this reddit community as a whole has been banned i can only imagine because reddit wasn't getting paid off nearly as much while chris still remains online on his other platforms he's still trying to recruit members in person but his digital footprint still remains i want to check out his discord turned against him and one of his top followers has now taken over from an outsider like myself looking at this entire situation in my opinion i definitely see how this seems quite premeditated i can see the angle a lot of people have mentioned regarding being mentally ill as well however it seems like from the very beginning this was calculated towards creating a cult this guy comes from an educated background he graduated from yale he set up a website he targeted impressionable people and he used one little sliver of attention and was vindictive towards anyone who didn't agree with his beliefs thankfully however the situation they said you subs against us good to see you something else i should know is that i also know to a certain extent chris has been experiencing a degree of psychosis i don't believe this guy to be mentally stable due to the constant drug use here we had a guy with a great livelihood and a good life and he was well off then seemingly out of nowhere in the later years of his life after being an atheist for 56 years he becomes ultra spiritual as a result of taking dmt he just wanted to start a cult man he just did it the wrong way he's a god in all of his teachings he should have started playing minecraft and psychosis that being said i don't think talking [ __ ] directly to this guy helps whatsoever as a result anyone watching this video don't go harass this guy his brain obviously processes information differently and even though what he attempted to do was terrible it won't stop him from confronting appreciate it thank you for generating me and his professional help instead this video stands as something much more effective than directly talking [ __ ] to him at this point if anyone comes across this rabbit hole or topic on the internet they have a reference point to which they can understand how this group came to being and avoid it with that being said i thank you for joining me here today as we look that was actually kind of interesting on reddit this is barely sociable have a great night is that true only one guy said this but now i have to know did chris cantomo actually kill himself because this video i'm gonna look it up i feel like i'm being lied to but that would be horrible let's see oh my god boy that's real that's [ __ ] awful jesus christ yeah that guy wasn't lying wow well that that was a ride holy [ __ ] [Music]
