    I’m really not understanding. He was supposedly a MAGAt, but he blew up Elon’s truck at a Trump building. What the hell was his point?

      I guess he figured he’d get more attention for his manifesto if he blew himself up using basically the 2 just talked about symbols. Unfortunately for him, someone else decided to do something similar in New Orleans and killed more people.

        And yet we’re all talking about him and not New Orleans.

            I already forgot about it until I saw this post. This is just another Monday in the 20’s.

          It’s been relatively equal from what I’ve seen around both traditional media and fediverse posts.

          New Orleans was ISIS. As much as it sucks we’re used to seeing that. This is a straight up puzzle to people unfamiliar with the mental and brain health problems being discovered in soldiers with long service and a high number of deployments with combat.

      “He was supposedly a MAGAt”

      Well, there’s your answer. Do you really expect logic from these guys?

        Probably because conservatism comes from fear and hate, and those are pretty violent emotions. Someone with a lot of empathy, that sees other people as whole humans, is less likely to be right-wing and also less likely to do violence + terrorism.

      He was diagnosed with depression, and if you read the article, it reads like someone suffering from more than just depression (perhaps PTSD or something).

      The point is he was suffering from mental illness. There’s no more logic to it than that.

      He was out of it. He didn’t even know Harris had replaced Biden. You know those guys screaming about aliens on the sidewalk? Add 15-20 years of special ops experience and Republican propaganda. That’s all there is to it. He didn’t have any internal consistency, he both wanted veterans to take over DC for a purge of politicians and for everyone to rally around Trump.
