How many have you been in now?
MAGA is an interesting cult. Any advice on how we can destroy that one?

lol, I scrolled down here to post the same. TIL I'm old.
I highly recommend Haruki Murakami’s “Underground”, which is a non-fiction work where he compiles stories from the survivors and those who responded.
I remember it happening and learning about it, but I didn’t fully understand Aum or japans culture.
@IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol For those interested: ‘Underground’, Murakami’s dive into the abyss afterwards, is bone chilling good.
That's why the death penalty is abhorrent. Even one innocent person murdered by the state is too high of a cost to bear.
Tbh the way they've arranged the actual execution doesn't sound too bad at all. Quick and painless. The worst part (or best, depending on who you ask) of the capital punishment in Japan is the fact the they never tell the prisoners the date of the execution, so they spend years, even decades in prison waiting for their final day until on the day itself they get know it's their last one. That's way more brutal than the hanging imho.
thanks for using Leebra!

I remember that. That was wild and sparked my interest into cults
