    the cult compounds have existed but they’re Bay Area share houses and with the rent so high they can’t afford guns

      @dgerard Yeah, the closest they get to a compound in the middle of nowhere full of explosives is an air-conditioned trailer at Burning Man

      I maintain that the reason they haven’t gone full Waco isn’t that they aren’t deranged enough, but rather it would require them to confront the fact that they have nobody to blame but themselves for Clippy so they rationalize themselves into inaction.

      The ones that scare me the most are the ones that are no longer afraid of Clippy and replaced that fear with a fear of, like, minorities.
