There's at least 4 layers of decoding necessary to parse this post.
Idk, it's mostly just knowing about Heaven's Gate and their idiosyncratic pop culture use, with abit of internet slang. It's just three layers of pop culture, and one layer of UFO death cult culture. I guess I'm so used to it I barely even register it as sub-text. Yikes.
But also, haven't read this one before! Yet another fascinating BMF point, though one I have heard expressed before.
