On Cold Filter, and the Melody Maxim site, they seem to be a bit surprised at the hardball tactics being used to try and silence criticism around cryonics.
But in fact, for those who study cultish groups, movements and sects, its standard behavior. That is the first thing they do, actually the second.
The first thing they do in these groups/sects, its to try and used extreme internal pressure to silence people who speak up with any criticism.
Next, they will attack them with personal SMEARS, using dirty smear tactics.
Then, they will threaten them with frivolous SLAPP's [
en.wikipedia.org] which are just designed to make people shut-up, and then sign a gag-order to avoid the hassle. They will spend MILLIONS of their sects members money to MAKE AN EXAMPLE out of those who speak up. They don't care, its not their money they are spending, its money from the groups members, and a tax write-off.
If that doesn't work, then what? In serious groups and sects, they move to many kinds of "threats" against people. Obviously those are done in ways to avoid trouble for those calling the shots.
The worse case scenario goes beyond that.
So for those in cryonics, it may seem somewhat outrageous and confusing. But for anyone who watches any type of cultish groups, its standard behavior, to the letter.
In cryonics, there is no actual science at all, right now its just advanced deceptive salesmanship, within a cultish presentation, deliberately designed to prey on the FEAR OF DEATH human's have. That is not made up. The cryonics/Venturists have admitted that online. They want to tap into those religious emotions around death, and connect it to cryonics dreams of Immortality, just like many New Religions.
Then they add the deceptive contracts involving large sums of money.
Even worse, unlike most sects, cryonics wants more than just your money and mind, they want your corpse, and your Estate too.
So the process of escalating attacks against anyone who speaks out against the cryonics company practices, is how every "sect" works.
And if you are a former insider, who knows the FACTS, and are speaking out, they will try to shut you up, and shut you down, using any tactic they can.
Same process as Scientology, SGI and hundreds of other sects and cultish groups.
To those who are only interested in cryonics, it may seem very surprising, but its all standard operating procudure in basically every group that operates in this way.
When all else fails, then the cultish group actively seeks to distort all criticism of them by pre-framing the issues in their marketing material.
