His "manifesto" if you want to call it that https://theponzipapers.substack.com/p/i-have-set-myself-on-fire-outside
This ironically reads like a gaslight, like the establishment arranged for a mentally ill person to do this and then gave him a manifesto designed to attack every 'right wing conspiracy'
They...they wouldn't do such a thing!
Nah, you're on point. This dude (on a skim so far) makes some decent points, but some bad conclusions, and then invalidates everything by his actions. So this just hurts every cause that had some actually validity to it. Sketchy.
sensible chuckle
Well he's just parroting shit the leftist media says all the time, so in a way you're right.
...Based?
Funny thing is, I'm only half kidding. I've only skimmed it so far, but there's a lot of truth there, even if the conclusions reached are sometimes bizarre. And obviously lighting yourself on fire proves you're a retard, and actually invalidates your own claims.
There's truth there, but he's obviously unhinged, and even with the truth, he's incredibly biased. He was captured, and couldn't look at things critically; everything he saw fed into and validated his own preconceived biases. Even when he was correct, he wasn't looking at things logically.
Again, this is just off a skim. After I read it - and I probably will - I could give him more or less credence than I am currently lending him. Again, though, the whole...you know...setting yourself on fire thing...doesn't exactly lend you credibility. Sort of the, uh, opposite.
See settings oneself on fire is not enough to get me to read the manifesto. Try harder next guy.
Dude, if a right wing MAGA MAGA MAGA dude cited Gandhi, MLK, and Abraham Lincoln as peak conservativism, you'd know they're full of shit. This is clearly a psyop.
dude is clearly delusional and probably has some kind of hero complex thinking his action will lead to awareness thanks to his well written and convincing manifesto. He will become the spark that ignites a revolution.
Dude, just like, start a youtube page. Best joke about him was on thedonald where someone says he's saying basic baby level shit and someone replies saying something like "yeah he's basically an hour of Alex Jones's show."
10/10 epic burn.
edit: found the quote from u/Maga0351
Yup, he's an autistic who got fixated on one particular element of cultural decay, decided everything proved that new fixation was true, and then decided to go out in a, ehem...blaze of glory.
More schizo than autist, from everything I’ve read (see Stupidpol, if you wish), but yeah, pretty much…
Well, I guess he's an hero now. Hoi!
