I wouldn't say this is necessarily spiritual exploitation, as they are just abusing the psychological underpinnings that constitute spiritual and religious practices, without the need of metaphysical thinking. To me, they are exploiting the basic need for community through isolation and the need to self preserve they exploiting the their need of Personal identity through a methodology that makes you an Outcast until you think of yourself as a burden upon society and that you are meaningless unless you become the herd itself having a non self identity but a group identity.
This hit too close to home for me, I almost cried. When I was in elementary school they practiced something similar. All that was needed to do was to radicalize kids that didn't have strong opinions yet, the kids handled the rest. I only barely endured for 2 reasons. I organically began using the socratic method and stopped being as outspoken about my beliefs. I began having passive suicidal ideation due to guilt spurred on by the accusations but luckily not guided by them, meaning their accusations made me feel like a bad person but I used different charges. It was terrible, but then I met God.

What I'm getting from your video is that totalitarianism, despite its drawbacks, is the modern day expression of the ancient philosophy of the stoic philosophers like Confucius. These philosophers said the human mind needed to be rigorously trained and disciplined in order to live a good life. Now isn't that exactly what totalitarianism is trying to do? And there is simply some collateral damage along the way. That's the message I am getting from your video. I don't really see that you are condemning totalitarianism.
