An aside but it makes sense that these schemes target rich actor types: they’re monied, have time to kill, and importantly...not a lot of formal education?
These are “executive skill programs” but the business actors are in is literally selling themselves.
And as @rjcc said, the whiteness of these groups ain’t coincidental either. Could be the initiation fees, but maybe it’s also about independence vs interdependence?

I guess “these groups” should be “this group”: the ppl who died in Jonestown were mostly Black.
the fees thing and the in/interdependence thing are both about personal wealth: Who can afford to join? But also: who might m be the kind of alienated/seeker type who can afford to *live* with the attenuated familial/social connections that makes NXVM such a seductive option?
This. Just functionally and ideologically, that kind of social independence is going to be less available to some than others.
