Talk:1978: The Warp/@comment-24377412-20140126134658/@comment-6195799-20140127155150

The Jonestown Massacres occured in 1978. A "temple" dedicated to Communism was set up in Guyana by Jim Jones, who led a cult of Americna immigrants that was focused on escaping capitalism. They would either take an "exodus" to Russia, or commit mass suicide. They practiced drills in the invent of both. Jim Jones essentially went nuts, (as if he wans't already bonkers), and decided to go with the mass suicide by poisoning a red sugar drink and giving it to his followers. Thus, "don't drink the Kool-Aid."

The picture is of the victims of The Jonestown Massacres. They look relaxed because Jim Jones and his partners convinced the victims that they should be "dignified in death" or something like that.
