pickThis is the most complicated case of radicalization, groupthink and a cultish following I‘ve ever heard of. The social psychology involved to create a community of over 1,000 and have them all die for the cause is beyond evil. The Jonestown Massacre may go down in history as the most atrocious murder-suicide this world has ever seen.
Currently starting. We‘ll see how it goes.

pickCults fascinate me, this one especially. I can 100% see the original appeal of The Peoples Temple, they did some good things and fought for good things. In the beginning Jim Jones did good work, then he went off the rails.
What happened is horrific and heartbreaking.
There were some details in this that I hadn‘t realized or caught in any of the things I‘ve seen or read previously.

Listening to this while I work today. I know most of the information and history. There are details of this things that I was not as aware of.
@AlwaysBeenALoverOfBooks - So so good! I mean, the Johnstown and just the numbers involved! it's intense!
