Nevertheless, the media and the vast majority of the American public
turned not to religious scholars for explanation and understanding of
Peoples Temple, but to self-promoting psychologists and other “experts”
affiliated with the anti-cult movement.
lol.
Weisman was unaware that jokes about drinking the Kool-Aid are
supposed to be made by an organization’s detractors—not its adherents or
evangelists… Forty years on, the lives of hundreds of activists who died
hoping to make the world a better place were trivialized into a meme
divorced from its referent and clumsily deployed to wrap up an interview
at a corporate conference.
So the cult that murdered children (and visitors concerned for their
welfare) was maligned and misunderstood, but the cult that jokes about
drinking the kool-aid is so dumb that they understand irony.
Buzzfeed is certainly earning it’s reputation here.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing! I’m definitely going to buy this book.
