Here's an image of one of the pamphlets.
Here is his online manifesto:
Blames the Simpsons for brainwashing American. Sounds like a total logical mind at work.
Doh
Capitalism's demand for endless growth is unsustainable, OK, but I don't see the link to setting yourself on fire. The government is complicit, yeah, we know, this isn't new information. The Simpsons is a secret brainwashing plot? Incoherent rambling about climate change, COVID, random media, canned water, and somehow Trump is both part of the scam and the only one who can defeat it? I know I shouldn't be expecting much in the way of, you know, rational thought, but I can't even tell what his delusion consists of. It's a ramble of self contradictory nonsense.
How did the government get his laptop and which branch of government was it? I hope it's a cool story and not just "I forgot my laptop at the DMV".
"Abolish our criminal government" by supporting a known member of the establishment with a history of fraud and infidelity. I don't know what can go wrong.
But then again it's a two party system there. So they really don't have a way out and it might seem like the only one.
