His last post that he made, in which he tweeted out the link to the twitch channel where he livestreamed his death:

Hard to guess what his politics were.

    Do libs actually think there's a well organized Marxist Leninist movement in the west? That we have our hands in everything? This is chud level of derangement, because they think the exact same thing.

    It's seriously angering me how like, what he did is just being brushed off as "mental illness"

    Not only that but the underlying assumption is that the mentally ill (and those considered mentally ill) cannot and do not have political agency. They are nothing but the sum of their afflictions.

    It's unbelievably disgusting.

    They do this all the time, every little thing becomes mental illness, even mild complaints are suddenly 'anxiety-depression'. To them all minorities and the poor are mentally ill, no fucking different than the damn chuds, what toxic individualism does to a mf class. same-picture

    Military guy: 'I have realised that the army I am part of is committing genocide and I am ending my own life painfully to make a statement in defiance of said genocide'

    This fuckin lib: "he wanted attention for this"

    The thing is, they're almost right: it was a spectacle, he did want attention - ATTENTION TO THE GENOCIDE. They just can't (or refuse to) understand that anyone could take any action to benefit a larger cause instead of benefiting themselves as individuals.

    When you think about it, the most effective form of protest is filling out paperwork to change your career.

    The amount of projection in that first paragraph is wild. Like, they fundamentally can't grasp why someone would care about the genocide, so start reaching for "if I did this, why would I," and all they can come up with is clout sharking.

    Calling people who self-immolate crazy or mentally ill isn't really new, it happens with people who did it during the Vietnam War in USA.

    But when people in bad countries do it, it's called courage or an indication of how nightmarish it is to live under an autocratic regime.

    "Sacrificing yourself for your principles" = "mental illness"

    To the liberal brainpan, sincerity is a trope in fiction, or perhaps a long-obsolete custom from bygone times

    Liberals can't even analyze fiction anymore without assuming that because you consume it, you cosign it (and honestly even I still have occasional knee-jerks in this direction despite knowing better)

    "nooooo don't martyr yourself ur so much better off being a goon for hire aiding and abetting genocide"

    No cause is worth sacrificing for to these people. Except maybe service of the boot bootlicker

    "For no reason"

    ...

    Way to strip this person of all agency by trying to frame him mentally ill or otherwise Other him.

    Talk about thought terminating type of thinking this reads like ultimate acceptance of both apathy and neoliberalism (should have used his individiual options and not bother the collective with that bothersome thing that is the reality of a genocide).

    I radicalized in part because of my mental illness. This does not mean I was taken advantage of. The fact that people don’t understand this is infantilizing and ableist.

    Imagine seeing a protest, any kind of protest, and thinking to yourself, "ah, but they just want ATTENTION."

    Feel free to tell me off, but I am not happy with people who are against the barbarian westernist imperialism to die. I am not okay with any left winger dying. If any of you would even as much as get hurt I am going to have the big sad and I hope it makes you feel so guilty you will live a long and fullfiling life (after the upcoming communist revolution).

  • I'm not exactly happy about it either, but saying the only cause was "mental illness" and that its the fault of "tankies" that he did this is so so much worse that it doesn't even bear mentioning. I wish that he didn't feel the need to do this, rather than organize with the living, but I think we all deserve the autonomy to make that choice.

    I hope the death of the Amerikan liberal, as an identity, as a class, and even as an individual, dies as slowly and agonizingly as Aaron's flames ate away at him. I want the Amerikan liberal's last gasps of air to be a cursing of whatever artificially-constructed god they worship; because they worship at the altars of no divinity with actual dogmas beyond greed, viciousness, and consumption.

    Surprised no one commented on how moronic it is to think the US military just lets people quit when they aren’t feeling it anymore lol. They will laugh in your face. They own you the minute you sign the contract, barring extraordinary circumstances not including conscience.
