Almost casually tacked onto the end of the article: > The discovery comes after hundreds of bodies were found in a remote forest in 2023 near the coastal city of Malindi in one of the country's worst cases of cult-related mass deaths. Self-proclaimed pastor Paul Mackenzie was arrested after 429 bodies, including children, were dug up from mass graves in the remote Shakahola forest. He was accused of ordering his followers to starve themselves to death - charges he has denied.

I am most likely ignorant for saying this but how stupid do you have to be to starve or hurt yourself because another person told you to. This type of stuff infuriates me when children get hurt. Hurt yourself all you want but to hurt your own children? Any child! I feel no sadness for those morons, only anger for their children who deserved better.

Cult dynamics are a wild thing. I used to feel this way too, but then I started reading and listening to perspectives from people who escaped cults. We often hear the perspective of vulnerable people joining cults like lambs going to slaughter, but I was surprised to learn that intelligent, emotionally stable individuals can get roped in as well. The thing about cults is that the effective ones shift their members' values and priorities, but they do it incrementally. What feels normal at first - listening to a preacher, meditating, therapy sessions - eventually rearranges your entire identity and personality, turning you into someone your past self may have barely recognized. Maybe two years ago you would have never laid an unkind hand on your own child, but now you're convinced that killing them is the only way to save them from the apocalypse/satan/etc. It's awful stuff.

Don't forget the mob/group mentality that plays a huge role in all this. If everyone goes along, if nobody is the one to stand up against what's happening, the peer pressure to do awful things or let awful things be done is tremendous

Religion can really get inside people’s heads and f*** them up royally. Get enough religion in your head and you’ll believe absolutely anything.

Yep. Hijacking pattern recognition and gullibility since forever.

About 32 bodies, mostly children, have been dug up from a mass grave in the western Kenyan town of Kericho as investigations continue into the shocking discovery.

I wonder if it’s cult related? I hope these poor souls get justice.

It is cult related

On the plus side, this appears to be illegal disposal of bodies and body parts from hospitals rather than mass murder.

No calls to stop the genocide?

My god you’re so witty, we all wish we could come up with genocide jokes when mass graves are discovered!!

Not joking, just taking notes of your lack of consistency when Jews aren’t involved.

Because black people don't face discrimination in the world? Yet notice how no genocide is called out when no genocide is happening, even when another minority is involved.

I didn't see the comment, but probably something about Epstein or Trump and pedophiles.

Americans are f****** insufferable, just shut up about your shithole country for once, will you? You guys don't do anything besides spread your cheeks for the christofashists and billionaires anyway

Love when people lump all Americans together, we get it you’re mad. But, that’s not fair to the rest of us who aren’t stupid.
