Cultish (7/11/2023)

Mammonburg

CW: some audio from a mass suicide, discussion of suicide

In today's episode, your tour guides discuss Amanda Montell's book, Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism. They go over a few prominent examples of cults before applying her thesis to Christian nationalism.

We play and discuss clips from the Jonestown tapes from roughly 54:45 to 1:13:35 if you don't want to hear them at all. The disturbing clips start around 1:05:10 if you only want to skip the particularly rough stuff.
