    I can never decide if these people are more pathetic and worthless and meaningless to the general public, or to be terrified of them because they're dangerous and sociopathic, a small group, but will somehow be able to recruit a large amount of people.

it may seem an extreme reference, but this book was one of the first that came to mind as I read the article - Hence the Jim Jones reference. I don't think this dude is anywhere near as convincing as Jones of Koresh, but he's using a lot of the same tactics to a certain degree of effectiveness.
