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

The square you have to circle is that they were spitting when they said that. I doubt the hosts would disagree.

What part of ‘ruthless criticism of all that exists’ do they not understand?

Now that you mention it, most people on chapo were either hating or ignoring the actual podcast so it could be.

Similtaneously both the least likable quality and precisely why i was there. Made me feel like I was shitting on everything and everyone vicariously.

On the other hand, others do it better these days

Non-zero chance that he posted here. Two days until CNN picks it up and Hexbear is mentioned on national news
