Interested in such a weird and disturbing subject. Ive always been interested in the way of the world and the general idea that people are on the fringe of society. They are often the most interesting and least understood nobody imagined what it would become as far as a think tank ive always been a political extremism and religious movements and try to understand what drives them. There were a growing number of stories about lasting happenings around the internet. Whether it was illegal pornography or more recently faith.
