Could the Manson Family Happen Again Today? The Psychology of Control
What makes a person not just follow, but kill for someone like Charles Manson? Sure, he had the whole unhinged, scruffy cult leader aesthetic going, but what was it about him that made people not just listen, but actually pick up knives and do his dirty work? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the dark psychology of Manson—his charm, his manipulation, and the perfect storm of personality disorders that made him a walking nightmare. From LSD-fueled brainwashing to the lost souls he preyed upon, we’re breaking down how Manson turned a group of young drifters into a murder squad. But was he truly in control, or just a delusional lunatic who lucked into the right kind of followers? And the bigger question—could something like this still happen today?
