every single cult leader: god wants me to fuck your wife
Overview
This is a screenshot of a viral Twitter (now X) tweet, reposted to 9Gag. The tweet makes a crude, darkly humorous observation about abusive cult leaders, stating that almost every cult leader claims God commands them to have sex with their followers' wives. The 9Gag post's title adds an extra layer of joke, implying that many men secretly desire the power and control that cult leaders hold over their groups. The original tweet gained over 14.9 thousand retweets and 124 thousand likes after being posted in May 2020.
Origin notes
The original tweet was posted to Twitter (now X) on May 1, 2020 by user 'kelly' with the handle @BoyYeetsWorld, posted via the Twitter for iPhone app. This screenshot of the viral tweet was later reposted to the platform 9Gag with the title 'Every man wants to be a cult leader', which is the title for this reposted meme.
![This is a screenshot of a public X (formerly Twitter) post. The post's text subverts the common sentimental phrase structure of 'ever since I was little I knew I wanted [positive life goal]' by replacing the expected ambition with the blunt, relatable line 'ever since i was little i knew i wanted everyone to shut the fck up' (with 'fuck' censored as 'fck'). The account that posted it, Cursed Posts, uses a widely recognized reaction image of rapper Boosie Badazz with an annoyed, unimpressed expression as its profile picture, which reinforces the irritated, humorous tone of the post. The joke resonates with people who prefer quiet and dislike unnecessary noise or interaction from others.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/c5/ce/13/2c/c5ce132c2b7604bd0797efce5af8a0e8.jpeg.webp)
