Cult leaders often use different tactics to manipulate and control their followers. They may use techniques like love-bombing, where they shower new recruits with attention and affection, isolate members from their family and friends, impose strict rules and regulations, and use fear tactics to maintain control. Cult leaders may also use brainwashing techniques to alter the thought processes of their followers, making them more susceptible to manipulation. These tactics can lead to a complete loss of free will and critical thinking abilities, and cult members often become dependent on their leader for guidance in all aspects of their lives.
