      Abe’s assassin’s story already sounds like a work of fiction. A young man radicalized to the alt right because of his mother giving all his college money to a cult, only to find out that the same cult has ties to the alt right groups he was aligning himself with and changing course.

      The Moonies themselves don’t even look like a normal conspiracy group from a Bond movie or something. They look more like some parody from Kingsman.
