Having a favourite politician is alrrady almost cult like. Yeah, you can like and support some of their ideas but at the end of the day they are a politician.

Not really, no. Cults are a very specific means of control. Almost every organization ever has some minor aspect of the BITE model, but that does not make them cults. Doing so waters down the term and is insulting to people trying to get out or have gotten out.
i don't even have a favorite politician. no person-cult for me, nuh uh
Pham Minh Chinh is banning ICE scooters in the capital in 1 year, and cars 2 years after that.
What could I possibly criticize him for? Not banning vinfast cars blocking traffic with fewer than 3 people?
News.lemmy is guilty of this.
