I mean, really, a Valedictorian couldn’t make it any further than central PA? The hard part is getting out of Manhattan and the next hard part should be getting on a plane or making it across the border. Couldn’t have found a safe house with someone on Reddit that cheered you on?

It is just a perfect little bow on the story, huh? All wrapped up nicely....murder weapon, the same fake ID, and a backstory that takes the air out of his stated cause. Oh, and don't forget the manifesto, you always need one of those.

As if the guy wouldn’t have gotten rid of all that shite and disappear. Lee Harvey Oswald all over.

I'm not arguing that he was right, just successful.

His take on JP is VERY COMMON in the exact community I'm talking about.

Fondness for the underlying themes, but believe he undermines the entire thing by repackaging it and rebranding it as "Rules of Life"

People who don't throw out the pre-Trump political playbook are going to really struggle to understand what's going on in the coming years (and this guy has little to do with Trump, he's just a watershed for political culture in this country).

And don't forget that they made him a spoiled ivy leaguer to take some air out of his folk hero status.

I wonder if they found him from some other technology that the Government or a Commercial entity doesn't want the masses to know they use to spy on citizens and they then fabricated the "McDonald's Tipster".



foxacid was 8 plus years ago. Google and Apple and Facebook all have face match tech and voice match has only gotten better in that time. If these frickers really want to put the screws to someone i bet they have access in real time or near real time to every single IP enabled camera in the world that can auto detect someone's face/voice instantly. Hell, think Batman's sonar tech in The Dark Knight only times a million and in HD.

He did an interview with Elon and as Elon is trying to say some profound shite he just kept cutting him off

He likes to hear himself talk I think

I think y'all are jumping the gun a little bit on the whole communist/anticapitalist line.

This guy had lots of posts on his Twitter about how porn and poor physical health was causing decreased birth rates. He had posts shitting on atheism and Dawkins. I think this is going to go a lot deeper than "he was a (right/left) wing radical!" The guy was clearly very intelligent
