Level 8 · 3 mo agoNah you give him too much credit calling him a master manipulator. He was just a failed musician who got lucky preying on vulnerable kids high on LSD.

Level 6 · 3 mo agoCalling Manson a master manipulator gives him way too much credit. He was just pumping vulnerable teenagers full of LSD. Even Tommy Wiseau could start a cult with those exact same tactics.
