Another interesting point, since people are talking psyops...in recent memory, only leftists (or lefty adjacents) have self immolated.
The idea that this is a "legitimate" Far Right™ dude is kind of suspect. I'm thinking mentally ill and easily captured guy, personally, and someone filled his head with some ideas and potentially even set him off.
Manifesto aside, nothing about the actions here scream "right wing." This is a chump that got messed with and set up.
He was a leftist. He donated to only dems, etc etc.
I will say that going out by lighting yourself on fire means you have to believe what you're doing (Because fire is one of the shittiest ways to die), but he was still batshit crazy and wrong.

I'd say the two go together though. If you believe in something that strongly, your mind probably isn't in the best place to be logical about it either. It's a bit of a Catch 22 I suppose; you believe so strongly you're not objective about it, which weakens your message.
Pro tip for everyone out there: Don't fucking light yourself on fucking fire.
