I really recommend the Last Podcast On the Left series on Aum. Or...any of their series on cults, really.

Their series on the Children of God stuck with me on one assessment: cult leaders basically want to turn everyone else in the cult into clones of themselves, and just how David Berg literally corrupted everyone around him into being as disgustingly vile as himself (and making them think it was enlightened!) is both terrifying and sickening.

And the worst part is, if that was where Berg had stopped...it would be 10x better than what else they did.

Seriously, they need a new word for the type of poisonous deviant Berg was. He's like, the opposite of 'don't kinkshame'. He's someone who should have been kink-stomped repeatedly.

Also that, yeah. Sorry, one forgets that others can be triggered.
