Aaron Bushnell's reddit account: https://old.reddit.com/user/acebush1/
Looks like he was a diehard Christian (a WaPo article mentions that he was raised in a Christian "compound") leading into the pandemic, lost a job during COVID, and had to join the military to afford to live. It looks to me like his journey leftward began shortly after that when he started listening to an audiobook about the real MLK, not American school disney MLK. The bend toward anarchism from there came from chafing under the military hierarchy life forced him into. More recently, it looks like the show "Fleabag" made him drastically reevaluate his upbringing and realize he had been abused.
RIP to a real one.
Heads up, a couple of things if you go reading through it: there are some shitheads going back through all his old comments making fun of him, so be prepared to be outraged; also, any comments about him having a wife and kids aren't actually borne out by the user history (believer in relationship anarchy, wishing to find a commie girlfriend to turn anarchist due to lack of anarchist girlfriend) or any actual news source (yet), I think it's just a smear.
Ngl going through his account and realizing I had already upvoted some of his posts was... a weird sensation. I've been feeling weird about it all morning
Holy shit we are so fucking back. I actually got twitter to return my account by telling them I was targetted by the woke mob lmaooo
I got a ban for advocating for violence (which I literally did) turned into a 6 hour suspension for saying it was a right wing call to violence lmao
I am a sensitive little guy and get mildly upset when my comments get downvoted, lol. 😭 This is why I mostly just read on social media and rarely post anything
advertisements are psychic warfare and every advertiser should be executed
okay this is my first ever job but today i think i've finally got the hang of being employed in a communist manner:
- arrive late (my manager works remote lmao)
- abuse the office printers to print sewing patterns and RPG character sheets
- time theft by reading
- realise the company are required to buy me new glasses if i want them, take advantage of that
- bonus: go on a walk and "forget" to scan my lunch. you gotta love self checkouts
aw yeah, its reclaim the value of my labour time
Met an actual himbo today. He giggled in a low pitch voice after almost everything he said, and after all my jokes. His name is literally Chad. So fucking adorable.
Unfortunately for me, he is straight.
The reactions in reddit threats about Aaron Bushells self immolation are a little... I dunno weird? Like the initial ones were all making fun of him or calling him just insane/suicidal or mocking him for caring what happens in Israel. And then lately there's been a lot of "concern" that people think what he did was cool or a good thing, we should just ignore a suicidal man who left behind 2 kids. Sometimes they mention Trump.
I think his protest worked, it's a shame he had to die and make it such a spectacle. And the grinding PR machine just... doesn't know how to counter program against it. Revealed by how they went this really weird inhuman way in the comments of reddit posts, just really weird.
taking the quiz and then transitioning to whatever it says i apparently am
All my important life choices are made based on quiz results
pathetic and lonely and horny
at 7 months of dry spell i am beginning to deeply miss the warm touch of a woman and also feel very certain that i will very certainly die alone
Every day I hope I see the end of amerikkka in my lifetime. Same with iSSrael.
I think I ran into another card counter at the casino tonight. I can't be sure but it was kind of funny, because we were playing together for a little while, but right after the shoe's true count hit -2 we both stopped at the same time.
It was a standoff. Without going into it, the shoe being at -2 means that your chances of losing are higher than usual, so we were both waiting and hoping that the other person would play so we could sit back and wait for the odds to be more favorable.
I had actually successfully deployed exactly this strategy an hour earlier, going to the bathroom and fucking around for twenty minutes while I waited for two gamblers to play a different negative shoe for me. Usually I can't do this at the casino near me because it's always packed, but I guess Monday night is the time to show up if you don't want someone smoking right next to you.
I don't know if the dealer realized what exactly was going on, but he accidentally dealt me one hand when I didn't have a bet placed so he was real careful not to make that mistake twice. He started leaning back in his chair and whistling, while the other guy stared at his stack of chips, and I stood up and got on my phone.
After like a half hour of us both waiting for the other person to play, he left. After another half hour of waiting around to see if anyone would sit down at the table, I left. Four hours at that place and I left with exactly the amount I showed up with - GG.
Hexbear in general is ridiculous. It’s a system of rules enforced on people so people look to power posters to get told the rules, when a critical thinker scientifically oriented sophisticated intelligent person will look at the logic and PHYSICS of how to post or comment.
What a banger of a tagline. Analyzing how my fingers tap instead of reading the rules.
Is it just me or has the right been admitting that they're monsters in droves?
We got a recent republican who got stage 4 cancer who admitted that she and people like her want another holocaust. I've seen a ton more open nazi propaganda met with hordes of praise, and another chud admitting that "when we say no politics we mean no undesirables."
It makes me worry they've won the culture war so much that their original argument of "There is no such thing as racism." isn't needed anymore, and instead its "Racism is totally awesome and only losers disagree!"
Give it a couple years, and they will admit that they're wrong, but they're intentionally wrong because "being the bad guy is cooler, only nerds try to be good."
how am i still finding new shit in bg3 after 6 playthroughs, what the heck
Really funny getting comments from reactionary fans on my videos about how I “look like a woman” or asking me “why am I a woman now” for wearing eye shadow and having my nails painted lol
These dudes are so fucking sensitive to any kind of gender fuckery. Like thanks for making me sound cooler than I am but nothing I’ve done with my appearance in these things is more subversive than shit Bowie and prince did a half century ago. I don’t even wear clothing that would typically be gendered as “female” like dresses and shit in my videos lol
Woke up to some bad news about my grandfather. Basically a zero percent chance to live past the next couple of weeks. This fucking sucks, he's a real one.
CW: . liberalism

Ever hear of WW2, where even the Soviet Union admitted that they could not have won without the United States? Or the deradicalization of Japan and Germany, done mostly be Western liberals? And we did it without oceans of blood and oppression, the preferred way of the tankie.
I'm doxxing myself but Jesus F William Buckley what the fuck even is this?!
Got a coworker openly talking about trying to use the union contract to get me fired so they can take my job. Very cool, very good work environment to be in. Love to be the subject of office gossip.
what sacramento really needs is another ziggurat. or many more ziggurats
I crossdressed and went out in public today. My drag skills have improved so much that I can go stealth and not get clocked. Even got the voice down perfectly.
It always feels good when I get referred to as “she” or “her” by people. It means I did a good job.
If twitter libs are sharing fake screenshots of Aaron Bushnell's reddit account, I'm going to assume the actual account is pretty pristine and milquetoast.
Honestly if Biden (while definitely not as sharp as he was) doesn't actually have dementia, and his recent speech issues are a side effect of the face lift that makes him now look like a melting wax figure; that one face lift might be the worst trivial decision ever made for a president, right? Imagine getting a cosmetic procedure that constantly makes you look and sound like you're dying right before an election lmao.
edited this comment to remove it because there's just too much personally identifying information in it.
I don't know if I'm nb/fem/something else but I definitely hate how I look now, and that sucks. I wish I even knew what I wanted.
I keep apologising to my stuffed elephant because I don’t know if she actually like my cuddles
Can you play DnD as just like... a literal dog? I wanna have real good detect hidden cause I can smell stuff, roleplay by describing a dog doing do stuff. Not a hyper intergenerational fog, a Magix dog or a person in a dog's body either. Just a normal dog. I'll bite at bad guys and no one needs to keep watch cause I'll bork at any bad guys, find food, do all the stuff a dog would be useful as hell for.

In today's Very Functional State news, my state legislature is responding to a looming energy crisis caused by gas companies intentionally restricting the natural gas supply to inflate their profits and a crippling education and transportation budget shortfall by introducing a new bill to define life as beginning at conception so they can classify abortion as murder and sidestep around the constitutional abortion protections that they already tried and failed to eliminate in 2022
Is the reason Americans love WW2 stuff because it’s the only time we were the good guys?
JOE BIDEN IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE PEACE IN ISRAEL
14.3 Billion dollars in military aid to Israel in november, come on now why are libs so gullible
