Strange. Every comment I saw on here about him was overwhelmingly positive and as soon as he was identified I've seen a lot of comments calling him right-wing, and anything to distract from the fact that people were coming together to celebrate what he did.

It's almost as if people have received their talking points on how to keep us divided.

I don't give a fuck if he liked right wing media figures. Class solidarity is the most important motherfucking thing we have right now and I'll be damned if we let people distract us from that.

There is a lot more than liking right wing media figures. Class solidarity is a bit of a stretch since his family wealth is closer to what that CEO had than most Americans.

Is the enemy of my enemy my friend? Maybe. I'm just not sure this guy is a great banner carrier. I respect your opinion and realize I'm in the minority. I'd be much happier if he was never caught. I don't desire to see him punished, but I don't see it being helpful if he gets painted as the next Ted Kaczynski. His background is just not helpful.

Well, stop portraying him like that. You're beginning to perpetuate the narrative you don't want to see.

Love the act, hate the agent?
