I always love to tell people that Smith was known for raiding local indigenous graveyards in upper New York and when he was not doing that he was scammimg people with water dousing services.
Joseph Smith was one of the greatest grifters to ever do it, honestly. One of the most transparent yet successful grifts I've ever seen. Mormon culture is a fucking fever dream that feels like living in what the west says North Korea is. Some of the shit he got away with would be extremely comedic if there weren't victims. Getting your prophecies from a paper bag is fucking hilarious. The way he pushed polygamy in his relationship was so fucking funny. All accounts of Joseph Smith's speaking make me feel like he was the proto George Santos where the grift is just so fucking absurd that I can't help but laugh. I bet Smith could have convinced his people that he shat gold.
Brigham Young is just a straight monster though. He wasn't funny, just evil.
Yea Brigham Young was a special type of monster because of how he viewed slavery as something that can be eternal in nature. Just imaging some guy telling you that after you die you are still going to be his slave. Mormon slavery was so huge that they founded towns around it like San Bernardino.

I tell people if they are in Utah to visit the Gilgal Sculpture Garden. They have a Sphinx with a head in the shape of Smith.
