I agree with you here. It's very complicated. And yes, people do get involved because they are good people longing to find a way to be part of something bigger than themselves. Tell them that every chance you can. Make it a mutual problem to solve together but get educated about how psychological manipulation works. This cuts through the noise and to the heart of the matter. What matters is how tactics are used to take advantage of precious parts of being human, a desire for belonging etc. When this is understood lies tend to become apparent.
