Although, to many people, what is depicted in this clip, can seem far too ridiculous to have any basis in reality, whoever wrote this episode of 'My Family', must have had a direct experience of an 'MLM' cult, probably 'Amway.'
Amazingly, as far as I'm aware, no British television channel has ever made, let alone broadcast, a serious investigation of the 'MLM' cult phenomenon. Yet clearly there have been persons working in television in the UK who know that so-called 'MLM' companies have been the fronts for pyramid frauds, and that chronic 'MLM' adherents really have undergone sudden, radical personality transformations. However, the 'MLM' cult phenomenon first entered the UK, in the form of 'Amway,' as long ago as 1973.
According to the so-called 'UK Direct Selling Association,' currently there are half a million UK citizens (95% of whom are women) under contract to its member companies. However, this propaganda doesn't explain that almost all of these corporate structures are 'Amway' copy-cats which have been peddling so-called 'MLM income opportunities,' or that their bosses have been fraudulently withholding key-information revealing their (built in) effectively 100% overall net loss/churn rates.
Any claim, or implication, that one penny of extra (net) income, let alone life-changing sums of money, can be generated lawfully by the operation of an 'MLM business,' is dangerous comic-book nonsense designed to deceive.
Decades of evidence, in the form of countless millions of ill-informed persons around the world who have been churned through so-called 'MLM income opportunities,' proves beyond all reasonable doubt that, what has become habitually-referred to as, the 'MLM industry,' has actually been nothing more than a classic example of the notorious, reality-controlling, totalitarian propaganda tactic known as the 'Big Lie.' That is to say, the spreading of a falsehood which is so colossal and outrageous that the average person cannot even begin to conceive that anyone would have the audacity to invent it.

You need to see just how crazy MLM fanatics can become, to understand how this show was based on a very unfunny reality.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. The utter absurdity of the Big 'MLM income/business opportunity' Lie has been one the major factors protecting it. Yet persons who become chronic believers in it, cannot be reasoned with. They will quite literally commit financial suicide in fanatical pursuit of their guided 'MLM dreams.' The more cash or credit 'MLM' adherents have access to: the longer they can continue as deluded de facto slave recruiters.
