He did seem to drop off the radar, cut contact with friends and family for 6 months.

So while he probably does have incoherent and reactionary beliefs. Judging his motives from old posts may not accurate.

He could have turned into the correct kind of communist or gone fully fash or something way weirder in that time.

Wonder what his manifesto says.

i think if it's trash we'll see it. if it's based we won't

He apparently set up his youtube account to post a video of him reading it in 2 days. the account will probably get banned, but I wonder if he had other accounts set up, or on other streaming sites

there's no proof the youtube account is him it's most likely fake given you can change your @ on youtube and the channel description is just a copy paste of his twitter bio

just saw it myself. should have dropped immediately as a techbro he has got to know they're going to shut down his socials

My theory is that he is just really smart (Ivy league/private school education) and set up a hard/alt-right social media presence years in advance while planning this hero mission so when/if he got caught the right would be blamed for the act/radicalization.

Smart assassins change, flee to Russia, and Dremel their Glock into shards and throw it in the Hudson
