He set himself on fire as a protest.
Self-immolation may be on the rise, but we of the older generation remember the classic case, of Thích Quảng Đức, the Mahyana Buddhist monk who set himself on fire to protest the persecution of Buddhists by the U.S.-supported government of South Vietnam.
The most recent self-immolator was outside the “Trump trial in Manhattan,” and he has been accused of being “crazy” and “right-wing.” To make up your mind about those accusations, you should read his own testimony:
My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan.
This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery:
We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.
Let us hope he is incorrect. Still, a lot of people are saying things like this. And the Great Reset is promoted and worked towards right out in the open.
But it is mostly anti-leftists who make such claims. And, as we all know, according to Left Pole Theory, anything “not leftist” is “right wing”! But was Max Azzarello really a right-wing extremist? (We can safely call anyone who burns themselves to death in protest an extremist, surely.)
The now-deceased and burnt-to-a-crisp protester believed the proof lies in the nature of our financial order: “If you learn a great deal about Ponzi schemes, you will discover that our life is a lie.”
Like many other critics of the current American order, he notices that the current political order is bipartisan: “That Bill Clinton was secretly on (former CIA Director) George H. W. Bush’s side, and that the Democrat vs. Republican division has been entirely manufactured ever since: Clinton is with Bush; Gore is with Bush; Trump is with Hillary, and so on.”
Max Azzarello called the current order a “totalitarian doomsday cult,” and asked why the elites are pushing us to disaster. “There are many reasons,” Max answered, “but the simplest is because capitalism is unsustainable, and they knew it: Climate change and resource extraction would catch up eventually. So, they never intended to sustain it. They knew all along that they would gobble up all the wealth they could, and then yank the rug out from under us so they could pivot to a hellish fascist dystopia.”
This does not sound very right-wing, does it?
More important, though, is the truth. Surely not all of Max Azzarello’ claims are true. But how much?
