Please don't infer that sort of "4D chess" nonsense. This is not an act or a strategy. He's exactly as stupid as he appears.

no it's something you need to understand about him.. he's just like a mafia boss, or he learned it from them..

[-] mindbleach@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

What you need to understand about him is that he's a fucking idiot.

[-] Nougat@kbin.social 18 points 11 months ago

His purpose is staying out of prison. Discrediting the government in general is a means to that end.
