Listening too careful to this crackpot is exactly how he was able to talk people into going on a murdering spree for him. He is charismatic and evil. When you are dealing with people who are especially charismatic and evil it becomes very likely that you may start to think they have a point. This is why I don't give this creep the time of day.

As a student of psychology and philosophy, I got to say there is nothing truly unique about the man other then his talent for finding the right audiences for his pseudo philosophy. There are lost of paranoid anti authoritarian psychopaths like him. The only thing that made him special was the audacity of his crimes and his talent for getting peoples attention. Hell I have heard more interesting critiques of society in the modern age by stoner colleague drop outs.

However as a murderer his case is far more interesting then his often incoherent ideology.

He's an awesome dancer.

He's very interesting as a person. Most of his philosophy is nought but crackpot ramblings, ramblings which probably make him the funniest serial killer of recent times.

But a lot of people fell for that philosophy. A lot of people still do. In that way, he's more dangerous than the batman killer, more dangerous than the norway shooter, more dangerous even than a lot of fictional serial killers. Even in jail, he can try to convince people he's right.

He's a testament to the power of simply being able to manipulate people. Proof that you can take a perfectly sane man, and, with a few pushes in the right direction, make them do insane things.

We, as a society must never forget that, and be wary of others who can make that sort of impact on people, from lowly conmen to political leaders to Manson himself.

I think he's batshit insane. And it's creepy when people admit to finding some of the things he says has truth in them.

That's sort of how he got people to murder a pregnant woman for him.

I think he's insane and evil. You can see it in his eyes, people who have killed in cold blood always have this really empty look to their eyes.

It gives me the goddamn creeps.

He has a charisma score of 40 +.
He's also crazy.
Two things you never ever want together.
Like many people in this world with lots of followers. The difference? Manson got caught doing something illegal.

Funny you say that, I always found him to be the closest thing we have to Keith Ledger's joker. Both have this logic behind their insanity revolving around how screwed up the world is, and they both felt the need to try and get other people in on this.

I've got no problems with most of what he did though the swatstika on his head really made me hate him. Other than that I really have no opinion of him.
Swastika made you hate him more than committing brutal murders?
The guy's completely sick, and edgy people who want to be unique snowflakes find him fascinating.
Only possible exception is Marilyn Manson because his show is too fucking stupid for me to take him seriously. I swear he took that name as a joke.
I wonder if it give the Beatles trouble sleeping at night.
In his defense his victims were rich so in my opinion screw'em.
Also Marilyn took the name because his band at the start was all about being creepy and having the name of a killer certainly meets the criteria.

Yeah, rich people don't deserve to live! Evil sick bastards, how dare they have money! They should all be skinned in the streets and left to die as a warning to everybody else to NOT GET RICH.

I think someone should put a bullet through the swastika he carved in his face. And I hope you realize that Manson was able to convince people to do his bidding and thinking he has a point he playing into his hands.

The sixties were weird. Also, as I recall he had a very bloated image of his own musical talent.

Someone who tells you how fucked up things are, is not a philosopher nor a god.
Every lunatic can tell you what is wrong with the world.

A wise man would be able to tell how to fix things without resorting to genocide.
