Great way to visit a US cultural icon without having your phone looked through.
Hey looky at the trees… From what I understand there’s not much to see. Nature has reclaimed the site.
I mean, good? What would anyone be hoping to see anyway? What lure is “a ton of people died here” is there even a memorial or just some random overgrown spot?
Sounds classy.
Drinks are on the house
I’ll have an old fashioned.
guyana shield is where MEW was based on, and blue gender.
If they treat it similarly to how auschwitz is treated, this would be a great learning experience for the dangers of cults.
MAGA get in free.
Complimentary glass of special Kool-Aid
Just stay away from the refreshment counter…
They better sell koolaid or that trip would be pointless.
It was Flavor-Aid, a knockoff brand.
Because it was cheaper.
Jones wanted the whole thing to be cheap, because the man was a skinflint. The entire massacre, including the bullets that some people wound up with after refusing to drink, was done for less than $20 adjusted.
You don’t want any Guyana Punch?
As creepy and macabre as it is, I’d probably like to go there. This tidbit of history was my first introduction to the true evil of peer pressure / mass hysteria / whatever the hell this was called. To think that people willingly chose this path was and is very creepy to me. (I know not every dead person there did it willingly, but enough did.)
What would you even do there? Just wander around?
Cults and brainwashing.
OH, YEAH!
It was flavor aid RAHHHHH
They made scorsese cry!
Since we’re renaming all the things, perhaps it should now be called Trump’s town. All of his true patriot followers can rebuild and prove how grand of a society they can have.
Neat!
