TIL incel Charles Guiteau got rejected from a christian free-love commune, convinced himself he helped Garfield become president, and so assassinated him when the prez ghosted him. A guy named Roscoe Conkling was such good pals with the then-VP that ppl thought Conkling ordered the assassination.

Conkling went on to reject a position at the supreme court, and the free-love christian commune cult went on to become a silverware company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oneida_Community

What's fuckin wild is that the Oneida commune may be considered one of the most radically feminist movements of the time
