the what now? can someone fill me in on what happened?
Aaron Bushnell, a former airforce-turned anarchist, self-immolated himself to protest Israeli embassy’s support of genocide in Gaza…
Typical western ‘leftist’ with pro-west foreign policy calls him a mentally-ill tankie for supposedly supporting Hamas or any other anti-western force which is ‘unreasonably’ authoritarian… (I have not heard of his support for anti-west forces, let alone Hamas)
He did say he hated the podcast because, and I quote:
“They’re just assholes, in my opinion. A bunch of white dudes circlejerking and shitting on everything and everyone ad nauseam”
That could definitely be someone from r/ChapoTrapHouse tbh
Non-zero chance that he posted here. Two days until CNN picks it up and Hexbear is mentioned on national news
Not former, he was active duty air force (an IT guy though not flying or working on planes)
