I’ve scouered his Goodreads, Instagram, Twitter accounts.
He looks like he’s a tech bro who went to University of Pennsylvania. He had some cool somewhat anti-capitalistic takes, and criticised Elon Musk. But was also following and reposting a couple alt-right accounts like RFK Jr and Joe Rogan. He seems to have been a big consumer of the capitalistic self-improvement type industry.
Sigh. The hope was fun while it lasted. He’s too anti-capitalist for the right and too problematic for the left so no side will claim him, and they’ll just devolve into claiming it was the other side for a bit before not caring anymore. No revolution to be found here, just more sadness.
Ohhh I just shared the fish one cuz I thought it was funny and cute and humanising.
My conclusion is he wasn’t a pure ideological leftist like many of us here. But he shared similar critiques of capitalism and grievances.
And on the culture war side of things, he seems to have been more “centrist” ie. taking some points from “both sides”. Which in my opinion is problematic, but also shows we might have more in common with the populist right than we think. A lot of them are deeply critical of heirarchy and inequality similar to us (although they end up supporting billionaires 🤦).
Ya, that’s really giving off woman-are-baby-receptacles vibes without ever addressing women except as their physiology (“pocket pussies”) or sexuality (dancers), which makes it worse. Not to mention it completely misses the point of why people arent procreating.
It seems really weird (and racist) to criticize a culture you aren’t ingrained in with such odd specificity.
That just shows how lemmy would be willing to eat alive anyone being able to critically think instead of repeating their pre-recorded mantras on what’s good and what’s bad.

Here’s his github picture and account
Doesn’t look like the guy to me.
Different angle and no hood,.but yeah, somebody else.
He was caught with the same new jersey fake ID the suspect used and an anti-healthcare manifesto
I mean you can give me all the forensic evidence, and it’s not him.
Ahhhh.
“it can’t have been him, I was in London with him all of last week”
“He couldn’t have been with you in London because he was also with me in Turkey on a Hot Air Balloon ride”
I Am Luigi’s Alibi
ohhh I see.
Pardon.

It seems likely that within short order his unifying action will be drowned out by any divisive perspectives.
Kinda like universal healthcare.

Makes it better IMHO. He spoke for all of us, we’re all getting sick of this corrupt bullshit.
How has no one mentioned that he legit looks like Dave Franco?
If it weren’t the information age, the only thing we would know about the guy is what the government wants us to think!
That’s a github profile
my bad. keep on mixing the two up.
Some problematic interactions with alt right type stuff
(this gives “traditional family values” vibes)
Do expect him to conform to your ideas of approved right think?
Ironic.
But also some cool anticapitalist takes
And some weird ass takes
I appreciate you posting his takes from every side. Idk wtf to think about this fish one.
Edit - oh just saw the date, he was like 16 when he posted that. I posted stupider weird shit at 36 so I’ll give that weird one a pass.

agreed
I don’t see how #1 and #2 are problematic. #2 might be, but I’d need to see the video.
Unless your argument is that anything remotely positive about Tucker Carlson or Peter Thiel is automatically bad?

You’re ridiculous, and probably 18.
you mean to tell me he’s a programming nerd too!?
