It is sad. You’re correct - he’s not from the maga crowd. Seems he’s pretty confused about how to connect the dots. At least he didn’t try & take down others with him.
It's tragic that the message he wanted to bring to the world is one that those of us on Substack already know. We're in a terrible mess that gets worse daily, and his act of self-immolation won't be heard by those not yet in the know. The media will twist the story, blame his mental instability on Trump, and his 15 minutes of fame will be over. If he survives whatever life he has remaining will not be pleasant.
Three words come immediately to mind: Lee Harvey Oswald.
I'm not nearly as drenched in the JFK theories as many folks, but it's impossible to deny that Oswald was the CIA's patsy. So much deliberate misinformation was immediately disseminated about him by the government like his alleged allegiances, political ideology, etc. -- and yet no one was keeping a watchful eye on him all the time leading up to the event. The very same pattern four decades later with the 911 hijackers, where within 24 hours the NYT published an entire comprehensive section covering every aspect of all 20 terrorists and intimate details of their lives. Once again, this intel on potential threats is sitting at arms length yet were gaslit into believing it was an "oversight" to not consult it? We are fools voluntarily been fooled again and again.
I would suspect something similar at work here. Whether this poor, deluded fool was intentionally coaxed by elements of the Biden machine to take such an extremely self-harmful action or was just passively allowed to do so, that we are being instantaneously flooded with his lifetime of "conspiracy theories" to me says loud and clear that this is how our government wishes the sheep to view any one or any idea which questions their lies as a mentally unstable conspiracy whack job.
If you think too hard for yourself you will eventually set yourself on fire. Now run along, turn on The View, and take you SSRI's like a good, obedient citizen. Did I say citizen, I meant drone.
The narrative machine is whirring overtime tonight. Can’t wait to see the spin on the MSM. Pity this guy. He’s far worse off now than when he was simply depressed that his party let him down.
So tragic. This guy is seriously confused. I read his manifesto and he gets some things right, but is on the wrong track for an equal number of other things. Such a shame that he decided to do serious harm to himself in order to spread a “message” that is only half true and will end up being distorted and lied about it in the media. Not worth it and you’re much better off just praying and taking care of yourself and loved ones.
Truly sad our government has been run into the ground by both parties. Biden just happens to be the worst in history, but I'm pretty sure all he is used for is guest appearances and a signature. Poor Max. I kind of agree with things he said in the video. We are in trouble.
Thanks for this information, and thanks for your compassion. I tried to read the USA Today story hut stopped due to the article's tone. I hope he survives and gets some help.
i have read the facts on MSM that he self-immolated, but since he did not commit mass murder or harm others, his manifesto is not especially news-worthy.
The Daily Beast says -"published an online manifesto, declaring that he self-immolated to warn the world about an “apocalyptic fascist world coup.” "that rails against cryptocurrency, New York University, the Clintons, and the world’s governments—warning readers that they are “victims of a totalitarian con” akin to a massive Ponzi scheme.'
NY Mag: says that he chose the courthouse with trumps trial going on because there would be more people there and that he threw a bunch of pamphlets in the air which referred to New York University as a “mob front” and also mentioned 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.
In spite of what Stone says, the general consensus is that he is mentally ill. I did not see him referred to as a "right winger" and his manifesto was not about Trump.
Well, the media approach worked as usual. I just noticed a routine Facebook item in a local news site, where the host asked what everyone was doing this aft. The usual work, driving, golf, etc.
One said "Watching a Trump cultist suicide by fire." Followed by happy emojis.
Thank you Sasha for giving a more compassionate opinion on this tragedy. All day I have heard the most inhumane things said about this man. This man is a human being in a bad mental state who obviously knows a few truths. He is someone's son or brother or boyfriend etc., but most importantly he is a child of God. Shame on the vile people who have made jokes about his death today.
Unless this story is useful to the Regime, it will die quickly.
Prayers for that troubled man.

Thanks for doing this. More insightful than the MSM reporting (I know that's a low bar, but your piece really did provide useful context.)
God Bless him.
If he lives, he’s going to suffer hell. Damn.
He wasn’t wrong about a lot of things, except he is blaming the wrong direction.

Very sad.
If he does survives, he'll likely wish he hadn't I've overseen a couple major burn centers, and he's looking at a vera long and painful recovery.

It's getting weird!
This isn't political. This is about mental health. Thanks for turning into something it isn't.
