Stuck between mental illness, stupid fucking crypto bro type of sorts or both.
Either way, loaded with pop culture references and dumb as hell.
Here's the main point of what he's saying:
So he isn't for cryptocurrency but saying it's a scam to rob society. It is indeed a conspiracy but conspiracies turn out to be true all the time. Epstein's pedo ring and America's gun and drug running to fund despots all started as conspiracy theories.
Settings yourself on fire doesn't mean you're right but it shows enough resolve that you could at least read the text before misrepresenting him. He's clearly not a crypto bro.
At least his idea bout Bitcoin and cryptocurrency being mostly a Ponzi scheme are on point.
Where there's smoke there's fire I guess.
Crazy? Probably. I mean mental health is this country has been fucked for awhile.
But setting yourself on fire takes some goddamn resolve. He’s clearly trying to get out this message that was so important to him. The saddest part of this whole thing was believing that we wouldn’t be jaded enough to just scoff and change the channel.
I worked crisis intervention for a few years. I have arrived to probably a dozen or so suicides. About a half dozen left these huge manifestos.
Every. Single. One. Got thrown away, 2 had family members toss it in front of me. Turns out your loved ones do not often want to read the crazy shit you killed yourself over, especially when it ultimately changed nothing. One individual had 1000+ pages written, the family wanted nothing to do with it.
I'm not pro-suicide for anything. Most of these people are just depressed. It's not resolve when you're giving up on life.
Just curious, but was any of those suicides you arrived to a case of self immolation? I get giving up on life, but I can just off the top of my head think of 5 ways to off myself that would be much less painful and take less effort.
Setting yourself on fire kinda has a history of being the most extreme form of protest. This guy clearly did it because he believed that he needed to wake people up to the reality of the world he found himself in. But yes, he was probably also depressed. I don't blame him. The conclusion he came to is goddamn depressing for all of us. Unless you're a billionaire.
