Tarantino’s Most Transgressive Film
The Atlantic ^ | 8/1//2019 | Caitlin Flanagan

Say what you will about Charles Manson, he really empowered women to pursue excellence in traditionally male-dominated fields. From armed robbery to sadistic murder at knifepoint, he put women in positions from which they had been traditionally excluded, and ultimately helped them to break that hardest, highest glass ceiling, the one that makes death row such a male purview.

Uh, no.

Angela Davis was a straw purchaser for the murderous crimes of the Black Panthers Maoist black nationalist hate group.

Bernardine Dohrn celebrated the Manson killings taking it to the capitalist pigs and even feasting on their foods.

Manson trafficked in women, used them to get want he wanted (access, lodging, money, etc.).

Point is Charlie wasnt first

Libs try to place Manson as an outlier and a far right extremist white supremacist.

Weather Underground championed his actions. In the Oscar nominated (and PBS aired) documentary about the Weathermen they say that the establishment used Manson to slur the hippie movement and get people to fear groups like the Weathermen.

Manson was an example of the drug addled runaways George Harrison encountered when he visited Haight Ashbury in the 60s (George abandoned drugs after that abd sought mysticism).

“He has an admitted foot fetish which is showcased in all his films.”

That is so unfair! All Quentin Tarantino needs to do is talk women into letting him run their feet to get off.
