His recent death exposed some people who really think he’s some kind of based anti-civ anarchist revolutionary. He’s far from being left, and his views align with ecofascism. It’s so baffling to see people on the left celebrate him when he wrote this.
personally, I think it’s a rather funny ×offensive× meme to uphold bomberman.
What a bitingly hilarious potential sentence. Timeless, too.
wrt genuine support from anarchists or others, I have only seen one case. The anarchist wrecker in town who had enough friendly connections to make their way into parties they did not belong in as someone with an avowed distaste in the party structure, vanguard and otherwise.
During a lengthy one-sided conversation wherein they accused the party I represented of being a sex cult and China of being imperialist… they told me that they wrote letters to Teddy boy and then began to engage in regular correspondence. I nodded politely and prayed I’d never have to deal with this person again. My prayers have been answered, but I still hear news of some ‘leftist infighting’ disaster they are involved with from time to time.
In my experience, this person seemed to crave attention and seemed waaaaay too online. If other anarchists do support him genuinely, I’d assume much the same.
He’s kind of like Pol Pot in that regard. Terrible person who shouldn’t be supported, but memeable as all hell.
Yeah I haven’t seen anyone defend unabomber though I don’t engage with the western left that much.
