Kudos for knowing it was Flavor-aid.

I could pontificate on the marketing aspects of Kool Aid getting the credit for all this, but the fact that people minimize that Jones had armed guards to keep people in and liberators out and act as though he legitimately charmed people into killing themselves is the more interesting thing.

I guess saying someone "drank the kool aid" is more interesting and soothing than saying men/women/children were "held at gunpoint and injected with or forced to consume poison laced with a negligible amount of flavor-aid."  Victim blaming...now there is the game.  Ok, back to the jokes.

Mixed bag. Some took the poison eagerly and willingly (the ones who were really f***ed in the head), some grudgingly, and some had it forced down their throats at gunpoint. They found that almost all of those guards who forced people had also died by drinking the poison afterward too. Jones had convinced many of them that it was Armageddon and that the U.S, military was coming to attack and kill them after they killed the senator.

It was sort of the "You're gonna die anyway!" argument... "so why not have some refreshing Flavor-Aid before you go?!?!?!".

I'm convinced Flavor-Aid could have been more competitive with Kool-Aid if they had just taken that marketing approach afterwards, eh.

Ted Nugent adopted his 17yo lover Pele Massa, dodged the Vietnam draft by faking illness, & threatened to kill a US President.
