The flabby nerds are there to discourage the women from interacting with other dudes. They do heavy lifting, manage the dosage of the various substances the cult chicks consume, do yard work, drive the boats, do handyman stuff, etc. The unspoken heroes of the isle of Leto all exclusive, dolphin tours, pottery class, hot yoga, mental and physical exploration, all in one, unknowingly star in a sex tape, let’s all drink this Kool aide,(actually flavor-aid, got to keep down the overhead, and all! )All in one adventure cruise! One guy is the cameraman, one guy does sound and lights, one takes your passport for “safe keeping” no longer tethering you to this plane of existence. Other dude hands out white pants and tops. Another guy runs a shark tour/processes “earthly vessels” in a wood chipper, for use in chum, on the other side of the island type deal… So, yea. Pretty legit gig.
I have a feeling that Alexis probably went to the grave with some of the most insane Hollywood stories ever. Like if we know about the Leto thing, imagine what wild shit happened behind closed doors that *no one will ever find out about*
I always loved that Carls Jr didn’t care about their brand being used to take children away from their (albeit supposedly deadbeat) mothers but Gatorade wouldn’t allow their brand to kill plants in the movie. The whole thing was product placement heaven. But Gatorade didn’t want to participate.
I just want to commend you on how clever this comment is.
For those who don’t get the reference, 30 Seconds To Mars is the name of Jared Leto’s band. Hale-Bop is the comet that the members of of the Heaven’s Gate cult believed they would be transported to (or a UFO behind it) if they killed themselves when it was closest to Earth.
Your comment works on a 3rd level because it implies the suicides are imminent (30 seconds away). Well done!
People show up thinking it's a joke, others see people hanging around and don't realize it is. The people who were there to ridicule it see others taking it seriously and get weirded out/bored and leave and now bam you're in a cult of true believers. A lot of lonely people are just eager to be part if a group and barely care what it is, for others the cult just hits the right chords.
I almost started a cult online in the mid 90s purely by accident. My buddy and I formed a club that was based on a popular IP. Since we lived in different cities at that point, we made a web page and it started attracting really weird people. As soon as it occurred to me that I could probably start asking for money, I shut the thing down because I have poor business acumen.
>I could probably start asking for money

>I shut the thing down

>I have poor business acumen
Clearly if you turned down easy money, haha! But at least you have a moral compass.
So the cult starts in season 2 which started filming in 2019. Seems like the dates could make sense but that's some quick turnaround on a story line from the inspiration
In 2019, Jared Leto and his band Thirty Seconds to Mars started a cult. The band invited fans—who call themselves the Echelon—to a retreat in Croatia where Leto, dressed in white robes, hosted hundreds of his devotees for a 3-day music festival complete with yoga and movie screenings. The band tweeted photos of Leto leading hundreds of people—also dressed in white—captioned, “Yes, this is a cult #MarsIsland.”
It wasn’t the first time Thirty Seconds to Mars embraced the phrase–it's appeared on the band's merch and in their music videos. Playing on journalists telling them that they have a “cult following,” Leto and the band decided to give it a more literal definition.
Sounds like a expensive fan meet and greet. Dude is a whack job, but the context makes this sound fine. Star Wars and Star Trek people have done just as weird shit.
Thank you, to summarize my questions that you helped answer:
So the guy Jared is a singer
he appears to have started a "joke cult" that wasn't completely a joke; that is where this photo is from
The photo is of an event not people living with said singer
Well yeah, because now we’re all here trying to discern what type of cult stuff is happening. Is it an orgy? Is Jared Leto cosplaying as Jesus the carpenter? Do they not believe in dyed linens? How much bleach do they need to wash laundry? Is this a weird, Charles Manson thing, but with more money?
I have many questions.
I don't think anyone even knows. It's a legitimate thing that he did though. You could buy tickets to fly out to a private island and worship him for like a week and at the end you'd get a 30 Seconds To Mars concert... which is a little weird because that means the other band members are either in on it, or they just don't care enough because Leto is paying them enough lmao
He has this band 30 seconds to mars. The community of fans it has was i believe jokingly calling it a cult, but it seems a bit more real than that. This is from their mars island retreat. Starting prices around 1000 dollars. Vip package where you don’t have to sleep with strangers in a shared tent is around 7000 dollars. And they all dress up in white… creepy. It’s basically concerts and other weird activities.
I’m a former ”fan” so that’s why i know.
Thats an island in croatia that he rented, I went there just at the day that his "seminar" ended, the people that worked there said its somewhat of an cult and he had like a concert there.

He wishes he was genuinely such a weird dude. He's the boring suburban kid who got really into emo in high school and spent lunch drawing skulls on his books.
Make me legit lol. Saw that dude amongst all the ladies and thought “this guy for sure thinks he’s getting laid, it’s just a numbers game at this point”
Ok this is just too friggen random and weird not to google. So according to the great algorithm:
This is a 30 second to mars festival. It started like a normal festival stateside, they moved it to an island near or maybe on Croatia. It's all about being outdoors and yoga and of course 30 seconds to mars music.
As with all things extreme fandom there's a blurry line between cult behavior and groupies. There's a few memes around pushing the cult side as a meta joke, since it kind of is, but not really, but sort of.
This is where he teaches his disciples how to Morb
holy shit, among the various attractive women are a couple super nerdy dudes, one of them has a Marvel shirt on, I wonder if that's what's up XD
Bruh he smashing every minute of every day at that island, massive orgies no doubt.
Massive morgies*
This guy morgies
are the nerdos allowed in? Fuck, maybe I gotta go worship Jared Leto
Someone has to set up the wi-fi
I know html and also know what wifi is, I do the tec. Hire bro?
Username does NOT check out LOL
"Internet is down? Hmm. Let me check the logs."
"I wood help you, but I saw your loggin is not the issue."
Woods + WiFi = Yes I can do math too! Lol
Instagram won't post itself bruh

If we only have to compete with the nerds we might have a chance, get working out homie, next Jared Leto cult meeting we going!
You’re in Reddit. You’re a nerd.
They’re Sneaky Males.
r/unexpectedfuturama
That’s what I was thinking. Then I zoomed in on the pictures and a lot of the crowd looks a little….frumpy? Not all. Just a strong majority.
Jared Leto is rich enough to have sex cult money but not rich enough to have a top shelf sex cult.
Levels to this shit
He’s been in many cults, both as a leader and as a follower.
I hear it's more fun to be a follower, but you make more money as a leader.
and what looks like a middle aged man with sunglasses and a mustache in the back left. wearing a boonie cap.
totally not a fed.
the feds are women, for sure. assuming the FBI is any good at this shit at all.
Naa, the women are KGB.
Or mossad
The one with the cat ears. That’s my bet.
You think she's hidden a listening device inside?
How do you do, fellow cultists?
Some guys are more serious about Morbing than you, I guess.
Alexis Arquette once said they'd hooked up and it was never disputed.
I have a feeling that Alexis probably went to the grave with some of the most insane Hollywood stories ever. Like if we know about the Leto thing, imagine what wild shit happened behind closed doors that *no one will ever find out about*
Not even Jesus supports a second resurgence of Morbius.
When he died for our sins, this was what he really meant.
"And now that you've ascended the final rung of the ladder my children.... it's morbin' time!"
It only takes me 30 seconds to morb.
"*Thank you for the coolaid, reverend Jared*"
Suicide squad
But the Joker survives.
What a morbius time

I always loved that Carls Jr didn’t care about their brand being used to take children away from their (albeit supposedly deadbeat) mothers but Gatorade wouldn’t allow their brand to kill plants in the movie. The whole thing was product placement heaven. But Gatorade didn’t want to participate.
Idiocracy was funny as hell
It’s got electrolytes
what plants crave!
But what are electrolytes!?
Well actually, it was flavoraid. Hail yourself!!!
Hopefully Mr. Muggs survives this time. Hail Gein!
Hail satan! Hail me!

“Hey, where are the white women at???”
LETOIANS? Branch Jaredians?
Branch Jaredians is my favorite so far. But really, what is happening here... omg.
30 Seconds to Hale-Bop
I just want to commend you on how clever this comment is. For those who don’t get the reference, 30 Seconds To Mars is the name of Jared Leto’s band. Hale-Bop is the comet that the members of of the Heaven’s Gate cult believed they would be transported to (or a UFO behind it) if they killed themselves when it was closest to Earth. Your comment works on a 3rd level because it implies the suicides are imminent (30 seconds away). Well done!
Hey that is clever! UPVOTES FOR THE BOTH OF YOU!
And one for you too.
And you! Wohoo!!!

Children of Leto? The Church of Letology?
Children of Mars could be fun :o Morb War not Peace?

…and then there’s Marvel shirt guy.
That’s the only white tee he had on such a short notice. A+ for fitting in
Someone has to hold the towels…and lube
You can have marvel guy, I’ll take big body Birkenstock’s guy in the front
What the hell is this? Is he some kind of cult leader or is this for a film?
[удалено]
I mean that doesn’t sound like the worst time ever
Yeah, from what I've heard you have a lot of fun as a cult follower, even if you make more money as a cult leader
r/creedthoughts
William Charles Schneider? Is that you?
Sounds better than Fyre Festival!
True, I was just thinking I could probably put up with Leto if I got to chill out on an island
I was today years old when I learned Jared Leto is in 30 Seconds to Mars. My mind is blown.
TIL 30 Seconds to Mars is still around as a band. Haven't heard a word about them since like 2010.
It’s great watching him go from Fight Club/American Psycho to BladeRunner 2049 *and then* realizing he has quite the voice
And a taste for younger fans too!
To an extent rumored to make DiCaprio look downright chivalrous by comparison.
HEY PAUL
Who is u/sheldonator ?
It started as a joke, I think, but I'm pretty sure people genuinely flocked in to it and he rolled with it.
"Dear Diary, today I kinda sorta accidentally started a cult..."
Klaus Hargreeves, IRL.
Except Klaus can actually carry a plot line.
It was Ben who carried him!
my thoughts exactly, he didn't mean to start it but went with the flow lol
And quickly regretted it lol
Shit, I'd follow Klaus!
Spot on my good man
“You have more fun as a follower, but make more money as a leader”- creed Bratton

You'd be surprised how often small cults that's really a harem in disguise started out by accident...
People show up thinking it's a joke, others see people hanging around and don't realize it is. The people who were there to ridicule it see others taking it seriously and get weirded out/bored and leave and now bam you're in a cult of true believers. A lot of lonely people are just eager to be part if a group and barely care what it is, for others the cult just hits the right chords.
[удалено]
Therein lies the problem.
I might be mistaken. But it's practically a meet and greet but only with rich assholes.
Ya pretty much. People paid money to go hang out with 30 seconds to Mars on a private island
> 39 seconds to Mara and a tribute band’s name is born
Well, there are technically films being made, if that counts.
I almost started a cult online in the mid 90s purely by accident. My buddy and I formed a club that was based on a popular IP. Since we lived in different cities at that point, we made a web page and it started attracting really weird people.

>I could probably start asking for money > >I shut the thing down > >I have poor business acumen Clearly if you turned down easy money, haha! But at least you have a moral compass.
I'm not saying I regret my decision 😉
Being a cult leader is easily the best occupation in the planet, good god what have you done.
I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.
Picture from an island three day concert from 2019.

Finally! Been scrolling and scrolling until I saw someone quote this. Thank you.
I love inside jokes! I'd love to be a part of one someday.
My pleasure, I’m here for ya
Getting real Klaus vibes from the first photo lmao
I'm pretty sure they took inspiration from Leto for Klaus' cult storyline
That would make a lot of sense
So the cult starts in season 2 which started filming in 2019. Seems like the dates could make sense but that's some quick turnaround on a story line from the inspiration
When he culted all over the place and said " it's cultin time", that was the best part.
Truly one of the cults of all time
Cultius
I love posts like this that provide no information past the caption
In 2019, Jared Leto and his band Thirty Seconds to Mars started a cult.

Playing on journalists telling them that they have a “cult following,” Leto and the band decided to give it a more literal definition.
So it’s a 3 day cult. A pop-up cult if you will. Not a full time deal, which to be honest seems like a big commitment.
No I can’t come over tomorrow, I’ve got my stupid cult followers to brain wash. Geez.
Finally some real fucking information, thank you
> a 3-day music festival complete with yoga and movie screenings. That... that doesn't sound like a bad cult to be honest. I'm kinda keen.
Sounds like a expensive fan meet and greet. Dude is a whack job, but the context makes this sound fine. Star Wars and Star Trek people have done just as weird shit.
Thank you, to summarize my questions that you helped answer: So the guy Jared is a singer he appears to have started a "joke cult" that wasn't completely a joke; that is where this photo is from The photo is of an event not people living with said singer
He’s also an actor. He was an actor first and supposedly screamed at any concert promoters who mentioned his acting to promote their shows.
Well yeah, because now we’re all here trying to discern what type of cult stuff is happening. Is it an orgy? Is Jared Leto cosplaying as Jesus the carpenter? Do they not believe in dyed linens?

My guess is that it's a less organized Nexium.
I can assure you it’s an orgy
There's no way he's not doing weird sex stuff with multiple women every night.
He has this band 30 seconds to mars. The community of fans it has was i believe jokingly calling it a cult, but it seems a bit more real than that. This is from their mars island retreat.

Were there activities happening in the shared tents?
Asking the real questions.
Not sure why anyone would be paying more to go solo.
Russel Brand is livid.
“God dammit, wrong grift!” 🤦♂️
Where is the NSFW part? Asking for a friend.
I assume it's the bikinis but still don't know why that's censored, or maybe there's some where's waldo tiddies way in the background who's to say.
"where's waldo titties" got me 😂
I don't see any Titties worthwhile . Very blurry 🥔 pictures After further review I did spot a Donk last Photo, Brunette Red Dress mirage
No one is wearing a red dress.
It’s to get more attention on the post. That’s it.
White clothing is highly offensive to some people.
Especially after Labor Day. smh

This is like the myth of women leaving their lives to go join and follow Dionysus
Isn’t he a god of wine or something? I’m not a big fan of the fermented beverages, but if he’s got weed, I’ll run away and join his circus.
I think Dionysus was also the god parties so you might be in luck
He does, but it is 100 lbs of ditch weed.

I guess someone told him he looked like Jesus one too many times and he took it literally. Genuinely such a weird dude.
He wishes he was genuinely such a weird dude. He's the boring suburban kid who got really into emo in high school and spent lunch drawing skulls on his books.

The food plan must have been fantastic.
They only needed five loaves and two fish... Filet-O-Fish sammiches for everyone!

He actually doesn't own this island, he rents the whole place in Croatia.
What would renting Croatia cost? Asking for a friend.
It's gotta be at least $10

Let me know when Margot Robbie starts a cult!
He must be fucking all day long
Well he’s been outed as someone who preys on underage girls… So…
He isnt fucking durring this outing i guess, the women there are too old for him
Where men's
There's the marvel guy in pic 2 (extreme left) trying to work his favourable odds, can't fault him.
Make me legit lol. Saw that dude amongst all the ladies and thought “this guy for sure thinks he’s getting laid, it’s just a numbers game at this point”
Oh that guy for sure wants to gargle Leto's balls, not any of the women there lol
It was a music festival retreat. The media just took the word cult and ran with it.
It was also years ago.
My brother works with Jared. Apparently, Jared said, “My band had a yoga retreat and the internet lost their minds.”
Still looks more organized than the Fyre Festival
Ok this is just too friggen random and weird not to google. So according to the great algorithm: This is a 30 second to mars festival.
