We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.

...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.
