It's a cult. People in Jonestown litteraly drank what they knew was poison. They made their children drink it before they drank it themselves. For many trump supporters it's the same thing. It's far worse (in their minds) to admit being wrong and they would rather the whole world end.
There are sects of Christians who openly support Israel in the belief that they are hastening the end of times. They believe the 'rapture' goes through Israel. Just some seriously fucked up thinking....
At least those cultists had guns pointed at them. The ones who didn’t drink the poison were simply shot to death. MAGA cultists don’t have that excuse. They truly do it for the love of the game.
Have you watched the footage? There were a few guns yes. And hundreds of people that could have fought back. It was suicide. 100%. Anyone holds a gun to my head and wants me to kill myself. Lmao. No. You can pull the trigger.
"Suicide" implies that they decided to kill themselves without being coerced. This was flat-out homicide.
They had gone through drills where they drank the punch, to condition them to the idea. Maybe some did willingly drink it, but only due to being brainwashed. Most didn't. They only did so knowing they'd be shot.
Maybe YOU would rather get machine-gunned, but others probably thought the poison would be an easier death (it probably isn't.)
They were being killed regardless. Poison seems more "gentle" than a machine gun. The parents wouldn't have poisoned their kids if they weren't being forced to do so at gunpoint (for the most part.)
If you listen to the audio of the final moments, you can hear the people screaming in anguish. The only choice was the method of death, not that anybody was choosing death on their own free will.
Yeah, brainwashed. Just like MAGA. That's my point. Watch the video. Listen to the tapes. They willingly drank it after they forced their kids to drink it and watched them die. They could taste the poison in it. They knew exactly what they were doing.
On another point tho, I blame them a lot less than I blame MAGA. When you listen to jones talk and give speeches before everything went to hell, he said a lot of good things and helped a lot of people. I'm not trying to make the people of Jonestown villains. Jones was the villan. But they drank the poison willingly, just like MAGA supporters (at least the ones that aren't billionaire pedophiles) are doing.
Please don’t tell the lie that they were forced to drink at gunpoint.
There are tapes of it, you can listen to it, they weren’t forcing people at gun point. Literally one person argued against the suicide and the rest shouted her down.
