Aww, cripes. I didn't know I'd have to write a description. How many words is that so far, like a hundred? Soooo, yeah. Mildly interesting stuff. Stuff that interests you. Mildly. It's in the name, ffs.
When people refer to Jonestown now, it's mostly some "drink the Kool aid" joke about cult followers.
The vast majority of the people who died there were not realizing they were about to die, and in fact many of them were forcibly injected to kill them.
Why YSK this is because the context around events like this can fade, leaving only some trite catchphrase that lingers in pop culture that people reference casually, and callously, without realizing what it is they are saying. I think everyone should know how, and why, this happened, not just to avoid making an ass of themselves, but to avoid anything like it happening again.
☝️"You're Wrong About" has a great hour-long episode about this.
☝️"Casefile" has a much longer 3-part series on it that goes more in depth.
Or,
Tl;dr: the Jonestown cult didn't die intentionally, they were murdered.
