One of them literally spent a few months with me in China. The other, while not a good friend, I did enjoy a few dinners and hours commuting with. Knowing that a person is disgusted by you to a point where they'd rather just forget the many many hours you've spent together all because of a propaganda campaign launched by a doomsday cult in collaboration with the US government really puts things in perspective.

I have the feeling that if I lived through the worst of McCarthyism these same people would have me handed over to the central authorities, or worse if I lived in Indonesia during their genocide campaigns they'd personally take me to the beach, plant me face first in the sand and put a bullet through my head. What propaganda can do to people never fails to surprise me.
