He was really good at killing I think I mentioned it a few pages back, but the LPoTL episodes about Jonestown (5 of them averaging about an hour and a half apiece) are very thorough and shed light on the most amazing thing about Jones: As a teen he could pinch his dick in such a way he could piss over the top of a house. Someone should have stepped in at that point because he already had too much power.

The rich white guy version of the first amendment says that not only do you need to let them say whatever they want, you owe them polite attention and can't judge them afterwards for what they say. Also gently caress Sword and Scale forever. Beyond what has already been said, he's got super lovely opinions on mental illness, and basically considers anyone with mental illness to be a ticking time bomb just waiting for an opportune moment to go axecrazy on anyone in swinging distance. Like, that's not an exaggeration. He thinks mentally ill people are literal monsters. Also, he was (and maybe still is) banned from his own subreddit for all kinds of lovely behavior.

It's genuinely unnerving how a lot of his and the cult's early history genuinely sounds inviting. Early on he was big into social justice, he fought segregation, and the church offered something like an idyllic commune lifestyle. And over time the church got more and more manipulative, then abusive, and for some people by the time you realize you need to GTFO there's an armed band of church enforcers to make sure you fly to Guyana in time for your totally voluntary poisoning.

It seems like his addictions to the various substances that were in his daily drug cocktail really was a primary cause for things spiraling so out of control. His paranoia seemed to increase exponentially as the addictions got worse and it's the paranoia that led to all the violence.

Usually when a person who produces a popular thing turns out to be terrible, the communities based around the thing they make become havens for the people who agree with their terribleness or just can't bring themselves to care. JonTron comes to mind.

He’s a guy who makes a popular thing who turned out to be a shithead. I really don’t know how I could have made that any more clear. If you want more info, just google “Jonathan Tronathan” which I assume is his full name.

JonTron was a little bigger deal since big Youtube gamers usually don't outright go full Stormfront "hey, I'm just saying black people do more crimes." They like to stick to heated gaming moments.

I've heard probably every true crime podcast in existence and always thought Sword and Scale was among the best (and that Casefile was poo poo.) That said, I just unsubscribed and am never going to listen to or say good things about Sword and Scale ever again, because of that.

I asked for and got good recommendations for true crime podcasts in this thread, so I'm just rehashing what other people have said: Casefile (Australian and other crimes) They Walk Among Us (really good podcast about UK crimes) Generation Why Criminal My biggest complaint about each of these is that they don't update often enough, so I guess that's a seal of approval. I really like Generation Why because it's two people calmly narrating crimes and discussing theories, but a lot of the episodes are like "and then this is totally unsolved and no one knows what happened," so it doesn't exactly leave you with a good feeling.

They basically do the same thing. Narrate events, play relevant clips and interview people. The difference being that it's extremely respectful to the victims (who they often interview) and never gets that awful tabloid vibe that Mike revels in. if you're looking for more audio clips and the courtroom part of cases I've heard a few episodes of the Court Junkie podcast and it seemed pretty good too.

We had black people to arrest on bogus drug charges, there's no time for white rich guys molesting kids to be put through the justice system or have their licenses that say it's safe to trust them with your kids revoked.

An excellent video about Terry Davis, the creator of a home-made Operating System called TempleOS. Davis was a fundamentalist who believed he could speak with God through his OS. He was also schizophrenic and frequent to racist-outbursts. Due warning as the subject-matter is intense, close-to-home, and very tragic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCgoxQCf5Jg
