Séimí Mac Síomón on Nostr: The Manson murders are generally represented as a metaphor for the 'latent violence ...
The Manson murders are generally represented as a metaphor for the 'latent violence bubbling under the American psyche' or some shite like that, I'm paraphrashing an amalagam of worn out commentators on the subject, but the same sentiment isn't carried over to the assasinations of JFK, RFK, MLK by the state, whose constant and never-ending violence is cool and impersonal, not at all 'bubbling', and therefore easy to ignore.
I'm reading Chaos, the new Manson Murders book.
