re: #237 sauceruney

I was just reading Charles Manson is being released on parole due to overcrowding. Wasn’t he trying to stir this kind of revolution?

The Manson parole release turned out to be a hoax story.

Manson’s ‘Helter Skelter’ idea was to have his “Family” start a race war by killing rich white folks, which would be blamed on African-Americans, and ultimately, African-Americans would prevail but according to Manson, they’re not smart enough to govern themselves, so of course, they’d turn to him and the Family for leadership.

In other words, the sort of Messianic/apocalyptic idea that can only be conceived of after about a thousand or so hits of LSD, combined with some natural, good-old-fashioned batshit insanity.
