Do you think a cult like heavens gate would be encouraged instead of shamed if started today
posted 4 years ago by MetalGearMk4 4 years ago by MetalGearMk4 +30 / -0

I never thought about it untill now but these people were cutting their dongs off and and saying they have no gender so I feel like they would fit right in with today's mentally ill and would probably be encouraged to do their weird shit

It was encouraged back then, by many Democratic politicians. Only after the mass suicide did it became proverbial.

Actually, I think you are thinking of Jonestown.

The Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, was lead by Jim Jones, and was well connected to many Democratic politicians in San Francisco (including Dianne Feinstein and Harvey Milk). When the feds started properly investigating them they tried making an appeal to the Soviet Union because they were all rabid Leftists.

Democratic Congressman Leo Ryan visited Jonestown to personally investigate (and probably negotiate with) Jim Jones to see if the accusations that people were being abused and held against their will. Allegedly, the State Department and the Democratic Establishment were resistant to have him investigate Jonestown.

After his arrival people did message him or try to explain to him that Jones was a dangerous lunatic and they wanted to leave. However, before he could, he was assassinated by several cult members. This murder is what Jim Jones used to justify to him and his followers to kill themselves.

/u/MetalGearMk4 , the answer to your question is It would be absolutely, and they've done this for years.

Hell, I haven't even mentioned the power and influence that Scientology & The Nation Of Islam has.

I thought that was Jonestown.

But I was quite surprised to read in San Fransicko what transpired there. They sure as hell made sure that no one discovered their connections, because many of the people deeply implicated in the matter are revered figures now in SF.

It's all up to whether the Cathedral supports it. If it gives them more expendable zealots, they'll gladly support it.

Maybe it just evolved into the tranny movement and never actually went away.

Since that group existed in a rather loose fashion (under a variety of names) since the 1970s, it's quite possible. Lots of hippies came and went. It wasn't a very controlling kind of cult back then. BUT they were the sort of group that seems to have disliked the animal nature of Man, and the people who followed "The Two" were supposed to find their own way to get rid of that animal nature.

Most of the famous Cults all came out of the Hippy Movement. The hedonism and desperate craving for new authority of that movement is how cults were able to spring up in multitude like that.

The Left hasn't changed an iota from the Hippy days, so all Heaven's Gate would need to do is update its messaging to easily bring them all in.

Humans are designed to worship God. If they arent worshipping Him, they will inevitably worship something else.

God, or at the least an "authority" of some form. Hippies tried to throw off both shackles and thought they would be free, when instead they marched right into their new hell.

Absolutely.

I don't think so. A big part of the cult was that they rejected their sex drive, whereas the average tranny is a hypersexualized coomer.
