Aaron Bushnell, from the people of loyalty and sincerity, to your pure soul. Your devotion and loyalty to the Palestinian people will remain a [trust in?] our necks for eternity.

little known fact, roqchams is a former Chapo guest (Episode 15) who turned on them for iirc being "bros" (maybe because of Hillary but I can't remember)
The day he killed himself we had some comments on here along the lines of "good, another kkkracka down," "he should have shot up his workplace otherwise this is meaningless" and the like. These were shut down early, but they show the limits of memeing about topics like anti-imperialism: it's really easy to fall into ultra territory, where you get out of step with the more practice-based approaches of the people you're trying to support.
Memes are all about building on and one-upping each other. That can get pretty far afield from a principled approach that's trying to improve the real world.
Yeah I know someone who recently started posting stuff like this and it's really sad. And baffling, since he's a white American.
Unironic use of "Another KKKracka down" is my red flag that someone might be a massive edgelord and probably very young.
I recall bad take empanada made a video shitting all over him too.
