So until right now in my bio I had that I'm #antiMLM which has been brought to my attention is commonly also used for anti #MenLovingMen, which I'm definitely not. I am #AntiMultiLevelMarketing. I apologise to anyone who may have been hurt by that, and I've changed it now. I fully support LGBTQIA+ and want to be the best ally I can. 🌈

@vlrny I've no idea if you're interested in this kind of thing, but I'm a massive fan of #AntiMLM creators, and Hannah Alonzo on YouTube has great content and has an extremely calming voice. She is very eloquent in her explanations of things too. I highly recommend as someone who enjoys a good joint and facilitating content.

My video on the history of the Amway tools cult scam has been gaining traction. I know because several people have contacted me about it recently and I'm also starting to get flak from rightwing MLM cultists. That means, watch and spread the crap out of it. It's a fascinating story of greed, power and corruption.

For over 50 years, a tiny elite at the top of a giant pyramid of grift have been enriching themselves by selling "motivational tools," mostly cassette tapes, to Amway distributors. This is the story of how this cult began and who profited from it. An incredible story with roots in American business history and conservatism. #histodons #antiMLM #cults

My newest historical video, months in the making, is about the little-known story of one of the biggest and most profitable grifts in American #history, the infamous Amway "tools" business. This bizarre organization, a cult really, was started by two men in the 1960s and ultimately had a huge but stealthy impact on U.S. politics. It's long, but check it out! #histodons #antiMLM

It's a national holiday (in my country)! It is time to take pictures of my handmade items and listen to #antimlm YouTube videos. I fell into this rabbit hole 2 years ago and it's fascinating.

As a historian, studying the true inner workings of Amway is like researching the Mafia. There are few primary sources because the tools business especially has a cone of silence over it, and they're all family businesses, so no one ever talks and no one ever leaves. That's why the tape I found is so important. Amway is sort of a scam within a scam. But the documents that show they knew about terrible abuses for decades are very damning. #histodons #antiMLM

My new historical video is about the history of the Amway "tools" business, which is both a scam and a bizarre cult which began in the late 1960s. I believe I'm the first historian to delve into this subject specifically. It ties in with the history of American conservatism and the collapse of capitalism since the 1970s. What a strange story! I hope it'll be up on my channel soon. #history #histodons #antiMLM
