A man set himself on fire outside Trump's NYC courthouse. He was badly burned and taken away from the scene on a stretcher. It's not known if this was related to the trial. : news

My man was cooking but then he passed out before he could take it out the oven on time.

And here I’ve been, like Lisa Simpson, desperately trying to get friends, family, and the public to believe the proof of a totalitarian con I’m trying to show them, and they’ve turned away with hostility, apathy, disbelief, and partisanship.

lmao what watching The Simpsons and being like yiiking-out 'I'm just like Lisa' does to a mfer???

As it turns out, dozens of the writers of The Simpsons went to Harvard. So I asked myself the question: If The Simpsons served the interests of organized crime, how would it do so?

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 49 points 6 months ago

And a stupidpol poster on top of that. Suddenly I can see why his manifesto is so rambling and all over the place with no truely substantive theory behind it.

He posted in r/TrueAnon as well but the mods there had the good sense to ban him

This guy could've really improved his life if he just followed the Belden program instead of... whatever he was doing. One must be careful not to gumshoe too close to the sun.

I was not expecting this today, huh weird. Obligatory: do not kill yourself, kill the people who make your life bad. They have names and addresses and bleed red blood.

Utah Phillips said it best. The world isn't dying, it's being murdered, and the people killing it have names and addresses.

[T]he U.S. is a ‘secret kleptocracy’: they pretend it’s a democracy, but both parties are controlled by financial criminals whose only goal is to bleed us dry. Media plays a central role in the con: No matter our interests or political alignments, we are all flooded with messaging designed to divide the public and make us bitter, angry, apathetic, anxious, helpless, and hopeless as they intentionally make our lives worse.

...[W]e are effectively in history’s largest doomsday cult, and I’ve been watching them poor Flavor Aid the last 9 months: In order to mask the theft of trillions of dollars via cryptocurrency, our government is going to kick off one hell of a false flag attack to keep us paralyzed with fear and confusion while they orchestrate a fascist coup.

Oh yeah he was totally off his rocker. These are the propaganda-filled ramblings of an unwell mind. For sure.

[-] Sickos@hexbear.net 31 points 6 months ago

Bad-faith actors are heavily manipulating the discourse across countless subreddits in order to promote divisive, partisan content, convince us we’re helpless to do anything about our crumbling society, sow bullshit conspiracy theories, and make sure you don’t find out that they’re supervillains.

Just utter nonsense

[-] Sickos@hexbear.net 29 points 6 months ago

Okay I have to walk back a bit, which is hard with my foot firmly planted in my mouth:

The left shouts “All Cops Are Bastards,” which ensures they’ll be hated by the police and the public (and flies in the face of leftist theory).

[-] Sickos@hexbear.net 28 points 6 months ago

Alright, I've read several of his posts, and while I don't agree with all of the conclusions or reasoning, I'm definitely not writing this dude off as a nutjob. I'm could see myself making a lot of these connections given enough time and cannabis.

Another wordsmith put it best: He a little confused but he got the spirit.

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 48 points 6 months ago

He threw pamphlets in the air, but somehow the NYT only has access to the proper nouns in those pamphlets.

Some of the pamphlets referenced former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Al Gore and the lawyer David Boies, who represented Mr. Gore in the 2000 presidential election recount.

The Internet is saying that this person self immolated to protest against crypto currency.

Doesn't look like it:

This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery:

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.

alt-righters

The right has been all the same for years now. I haven't used alt-right in 7 years - since about a week after Charlottesville. I call everything on the right - right-wingers or right-wing.
