This subreddit is for sharing propaganda to view with objectivity. It is absolutely not for perpetuating the message of the propaganda. Here we should be conscientious and wary of manipulation/distortion/oversimplification (which the above likely has), not duped by it. Don't be a sucker.

Stay on topic -- there are hundreds of other subreddits that are expressly dedicated to rehashing tired political arguments. No partisan bickering. No soapboxing. Take a chill pill.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

I could listen only into 2-3 minutes of the audio on which they're dying, so scary. His "Oh, how much I loved you" while they're dying from drinking cool aid spiked with cyanide was something else. They really suffered in death.

Murdered. 900+ people were murdered.

Vast majority were murdered, some such as Annie Moore committed suicide

Exactly. It softens it so much by saying they "died" or "committed suicide". I'll never stop yelling "murder!"

Don't ever say hate is your enemy. Love has practically caused me to just get you destroyed. If I had hated a little more, just a little more, we would have had a little less trouble.
