3. Scapegoating certainly is a symptom of an unhealthy mind

I just find it interesting how an entire movement could coalesce around someone who could be described as a fringe nut at best. I suppose that when someone is telling you what you want to hear and that you don't have to take responsibility for your own failures, you can overlook minor flaws like increasing psychosis in your intellectual leader. It's not as if this was the first time something like this has happened, I suppose.
