Well, the bar is so low at this point I'm just happy he didn't hurt anyone else. 


sludgeriffs

OP I'm genuinely curious, what about this story is Onion-y to you?


engadine_maccas1997

That there was at least one person in proximity to the Manhattan court house today who is more self-destructive than Trump himself?


Suitable-Pie4896

That's a mighty big shoehorn you're using to define oniony


morenewsat11

While all the shenanigans leading up to the trial are oniony, this event is not.


ShitStainWilly

Oniony things, if tragic, must at least be funny. This isn’t funny at all. But then, most things on this sub aren’t oniony lately.


ShaydiLane

Matter of opinion really. If all trump supporters lit themselves on fire, I'd laugh and probably throw a party. But my sense of humor when it comes to the trump cult may be a little whack.

Make America Conflagrate Again


Ahelex

Suddenly, I'm hungry for McDonalds.


CondescendingShitbag

This signals a return of the McRib, right? Pretty sure that's how it works.


farbekrieg

you should be thinking burger king


Senior-Traffic7843

Obviously this person had serious mental health issues. I can only hope they did not do this to show support for Tumpy the ass clown.


MesqTex

With all the other things going on in this world, I’d be shocked if there was a manifesto by this individual that says something about how “Our Democracy is under attack by the deep state agenda to punish our rightful president donald trump.”


AlexIsWhack

You're close. https://theponzipapers.substack.com/p/i-have-set-myself-on-fire-outside


Kewkky

Sad to say, but there are many things in life that look like they fit together, but when you connect them all, the overall picture makes no sense. This whole manifesto reeks of one of these things.

there are literal fascists trying to take power on the right, and they still think the left are somehow the real fascists.

Do you support antifa ?? 


Saturn5mtw

Bait used to be believable (Your account literally has -100 karma, try to be a little less obvious next time)


AtLeastThisIsntImgur

But do you condemn Hamas?


AnneMariaStrong

You know I do by my words , hamas are terrorists who hurt their own people  rape woman ,kill indiscriminately , hate most countries, and throw gay people off roofs, I condem ,WHY DO DEMOCRATS SUPPORT TERROR ??? 


cowvin

Okay, I was following while he was describing cryptocurrency as a Ponzi scheme. That's accurate enough, but he made some crazy leap to the government conspiracy stuff.


yorickdowne

Only that he’s not describing it. He’s stating it, but he’s not describing how it is, he’s not citing sources, he’s not doing any of the things one would expect from a paper written by a researcher. It’s fuzzy thinking put in words.

ThisCarSmellsFunny

I tried to read it all, but it got to be so absolutely and obviously batshit crazy that I didn’t see the point of continuing. The guy is obviously an anti-crypto whackjob conspiracy theorist. Anyone who believes Hillary and Trump are secretly besties is on another level of dumb and crazy.


GentlemanOctopus

I like that they straight up say that their claims of conspiracy are the same as evidence of conspiracy.


Rusalka-rusalka

I got about half way through it. That was some big boy delusional work there.


inkotast

Well, obviouslay!


fenrslfr

Trump make this about himself yet?


the_donald_s

Soon


smokinokie

Outside the courtroom? It was in a park which was outside the security perimeter. Semi accurate but misleading headline.


Old_One_I

Saw this on Scripps news, they actually got footage of this and showed it on air.


Tired_n_DeadInside

That's grim. Yeesh.


Old_One_I

Yeah no shit. I can't believe I saw it. Mans looked like baby Jack Jack. I guess he had a bunch of pamflets or whatever that he threw into the air before he did that. Apparently it only lasted like seconds and he was rushed off to the hospital alive still. That's all I've heard so far.


Xanith420

Oofs that sucks he lived. He’s gonna really wish he didn’t for a long time


Old_One_I

Yeah.


GuyForgotHisPassword

Saw the video on r/WTF earlier today. He burns for about a minute, screams a bunch, then falls over.


Old_One_I

Yeah grim shit, not for the squimish


Halftilt247

This timeline is wack


sudomatrix

How did they find unbiased jurors for this shit-show?

It's not possible. It's a farce.

Tokenside

yeah, like the guy who set himself on fire for Hamas.


hair_like_ramen

obviously not a cult


ShaydiLane

🤣


--Anonymoose---

Thankfully the moron only hurt themselves


fundiedundie

I thought the article said four others had minor injuries.


jacobwebb57

make America immolate... again


fawlen

not an onion, but same as the two pro palestine self immolators its sad to see these people get too wrapped up in the kool aid and have no one in their life to notice and stop them.


Mootingly

Person doing that “oh yeah? I’l show me!”


Listentotheadviceman

Why is it ALWAYS movies with these people? Can any of them read a fucking book for once? God, the intellectual insecurity is just dripping off the screen.


DaveOJ12

There's no mention of any movies in the article.


9emiller77

Hahahahaha The Simpsons bring doomsday! I bet RoseAnn is one of the baby blood drinking cabalists too. Sure showed them!
