      I keep reading conflicting accounts of the Manson murders. Was the motive really to start a race war? Or was that something the DA more or less hyped? Thoughts?

      So, it really does seem like Manson was a pioneer in realizing that Boomers could be easily duped by a mixture of racism, conspiracy theories and a mediagenic personality. Respect.

          But he also once shot a black drug dealer and freaked out because he just assumed the guy was a Black Panther so he had a touch of the boomer brain himself

          I just wrote an alternate-universe fanfic in my head where Manson was exactly the same person except for the crimes and spent his golden years shitposting on Facebook and it’s simultaneously the most boring and terrifying thing I’ve ever imagined

          There's a 3,000 word New Yorker think peice to done suggesting Trump is the spiritual successor to Manson on a political level.

          Tbh Manson was looking for any means of control for the family to make up his inadequacies and just realized “race war” was a good proxy for that

          He stole his race war thing from another cult leader. I’ve always thought the Tate murders were to make it look like someone else did the murder done by Bobby Bouseuli and get him out of prison.

          Yep, just another aggrieved white man who failed in the entertainment industry and took his homicidal rage out on coastal elites.
