In this Episode: The transition to Category 17 is what Micahel Stone calls “a move into the darkest territory of the Gradations of Evil scale—covering a wide array of serial killers, torturers, and sadists. “ Long behind us are the killers who kill in self-defense, or because they momentarily lost their reasoning, their sanity…. The level 17 killer is something else, something darker. • They kill purely for the psychological gratification of the murder itself. What sets the level 17 killer apart is their attacks usually involve some kind of sexual contact with their victim. To review Michael Stone’s Gradations of Evil scale is to try and understand the motives behind WHY people do these things. Sometimes, even the killers themselves can’t explain it. When you look at the examples commonly given for level 17, you find familiar names- Ted Bundy & Richard Ramirez- two serial rapists and sadists. Utterly unfeeling. The thing is, both of these cases have been covered Ad nauseam on this and every other podcast.

This is one of the most popular 2016 episodes of UPC-  This shocking episode of Unpopular Culture, Michael dives deep into a disturbing case of Stockholm Syndrome (or so it seems). Patty Hearst was an American heiress born in the 1950's, whose actions following her own kidnapping left most of America confused and horrified. Many did not believe her eventual claims of being brainwashed and tortured for almost 60 days by the SLA, because of the videos released of her spewing her captor's propaganda messages like "Death to America" and even ROBBING A BANK with her captors in 1974 in the Sunset District of San Francisco. In this episode: licensed psychotherapist, Michael Drane, discuss how being brainwashed works, and how to avoid letting it turn you into a blindly-obedient minion.    Hosted by Professor Michael Drane of the Unpopular Culture Podcast Follow us on these platforms: facebook.com/upcpodcast instagram.com/upcpodcast twitter.com/upcpodcast Pinterest.com/upcpodcast Unpopular Culture Podcast is a psychol
