Man lit himself on fire outside the courthouse where Trump's trial is underway

a lot of people survive for a few days after extreme burns but will eventually die from the injuries. I hope they keep him in induced comma until he passes.
Aaron Bushnell initially survived also, died in the hospital. I suspect the same will happen here, unfortunately.
No doubt, but the measure of the quality of her work isn't how many times she's repeats that she smells flesh burning
The commentating is exactly like you'd see in classic films where radio reporters are on scene during tragedies or catastrophic moments. Think the original Godzilla with the reporter commentating his own demise (think it happens in Minus One as well but I actually forget his fate).
I legitimately lol'd at the mention of Liquid Death brand water. The rest of it was mostly typical conspiracy nonsense, but that one was so unexpected that it made me laugh.He wrote a blog post about it here. It's unhinged nonsense, as expected.
I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.
My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan. 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...theponzipapers.substack.com
The part where you get to The Simpsons conspiracy is almost creepy in how lucid he sounds but the words being put down are just so out there.
Yeah, I mean things like cryptocurrency is a huge scam and Peter Thiel is a huge asshole are certainly true. But that is just capitalism at work. When he starts to try to weave the Simpsons and the Titan Sub and Virgin Cola into things, it just starts to turn I to I coherent rambling.
I mean shit he talks about how you can buy "Liquid Death" at a store, possibly alluding to it somehow being some sort of literal death drink?
He goes between conscious to completely brain broken, but universally lost all at the same time.
This is painful to read...the dude was so far gone.

The Simpsons episode analysis, crypto planetary multi-trillion dollar ponzi schemes, totalitarian doomsday cult, setting himself on fire in front of a criminal court case, sounds like a well adjusted person. The kind of totally sane and level headed person that vote for Trump. /s
As of right now he's alive, but in critical condition. And agreed, even if you live through it, the pain must be insane.
It's so similar in places to how the QAnon conspiracies go, seeing symbols everywhere that can only mean that leftists must be eating babies to prolong their life.
Yeah, this wasn't a protest against the trial -- he states as much that he was exploiting the attention over it.
The non-sequitur Simpsons conspiracy aside, this feels more sad than anything else. Conspiracy theories are poison and have ruined so many lives.

The Anne Heche incident comes to mind. Alive is probably just a box that is just checked off for now, unless he dodged a hell of a lot of bullets.
Indeed, it blows my mind how believing such ideas is so destructive.
Dang I missed that part, my bad.
He only used the trial to promote his message.
His conspiracies seemingly weren't specifically attached to either left or right side.
Just some bizarre lost middle...Sadly this is just severely unchecked and untreated mental illness.
Memeing on him would be in very poor taste, imho.

Yeah, there's so much of that play by play that she could have left out.
Damn, that blog post reminds me of someone my dad knows. He thought (or still thinks?) that the government has a way to listen to individual people's heartbeats because...reasons? I mean the blog post is 1000x worse than thinking something like that, but it seems to be a very similar way of thinking that there's some huge government conspiracy to do some shit for reasons.

I don't want to derail the other thread where this was actually posted but c'mon dude, this is a bullshit post
I apologize, perhaps you should have more of an issue with the posts in this very thread joking around about the man? As I said, suicide sucks and it's tragic.
Reading the manifesto - sad, because I think a lot of his beliefs are pretty reasonable (about a global kleptocracy that has a vested interest in stealing our future, disseminating hopelessness, and fostering distrust), but they're filtered through that telltale conspiratorial lens that there's some united cabal infiltrating every aspect of our lives, instead of just a series of systemic problems with no real origin or endgame. There's no united "enemy" to fight and setting yourself on fire isn't going to rally anybody to anything.
It's the same sort of hopelessness that you see in a lot of places on the internet, just very focused, and leading a form of self-harm that's more public than usual.

Honestly it was like the shit you see in movies where aliens invade and the reporter is live commenting it. Felt a bit surreal watching her talk it out in real time.
Horrible situation but she didn't bat an eye. Unsettlingly descriptive in the moment.
I had the same feeling, there's so much where he's so close but then he goes right off the deep end. Super sad, I hate seeing people this far gone.
Aaron Bushnell, US airman, sets himself on fire in protest of Palestinian genocide outside Israeli embassy.

Exactly. >99% of people are not going to survive a total body immolation with that duration of burn time. The vast majority of survivors who have survived near total-body burns are patients who suffered burns from steam, sustained a combination of both 2nd and 3rd degree burns, and/or only had a brief time exposure to the heat source, like an explosion.
weird/unempathetic way to respond to this
I'm not going to lie and say I'm crying for the guy. It's just terrifying to imagine being in that state of mind.
I had just read his manifesto and felt awful for the guy because he was clearly suffering from mental distress and did not make a rational decision to set himself on fucking fire. As someone with worries about my own longterm mental health it struck a cord with me because it's painful to imagine the terror of being in such a dark place. The only weird ass post here is yours.
