Discussion To all the people who were very quick to declare Aaron Bushnell as a national hero

[Pessimist]

Question: Why were you so quick to declare that his motive was pure and merciful? With more information revealed now, it turns out that he was an antisemitic lunatic who advocated for the genocide of Jewish people (which can be seen on his Reddit account acebush1). His death is still tragic; but only a radical antisemite would refer to him as a good-hearted man or a "hero". In my view, that's just another product of the rise of antisemitism in left-wing circles in the West.

Extremely doubtful he wrote that goofiness. Reddit's censoring his posts, so can't verify it — and tellingly, your screenshot has virtually zero context

I found screenshots from a more credible source. Apparently he was a leftwing anarchist. Highly unlikely he was racist against Jews, due to the enormous influence of Jewish anarchists. (Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, Murray Bookchin, Noam Chomsky, David Graeber, etc)

These screenshots help depict a great-hearted hero

These screenshots show nuanced arguments. While anything's possible, such a person would likely be embarrassed to say something boneheaded like "Palestine will be free when all the jews are dead":

Even in the screenshots here you can see that he says there are no innocent civilians in Israel; a genocidal statement.

False & unconvincing interpretation. "A genocidal statement" is gruesomely ironic, when Israel drops genocidal bombs that blow kids to kibbles & bits & bits & bits

In contrast, he ctb'd by fire to bring an end to genocide

"There are no innocent civilians in Gaza".

Is this a genocidal statement?

That post was fake
Lets just say this I dont allign with him.
As far as I know he's some bad Empanada fanboy who is also a Communist + Anarchist.
Just calling Israeli Jews as white is wrong which is why he used "whiteness"
A more catch all term that I last heard when 3 black police men beat down another black person in Florida.

Do you have proof that it's fake?

He didn't call Israeli Jews white. He was responding to the question "What is an anarchist approach to cults?", where the example was Falun Gong in China

To prove Israel is committing a genocide you have to first prove that their goal isn't to dismantle Hamas, but to eliminate an ethnic group. It's actually much easier to accuse Hamas of genocide, because the governing charter of Hamas, "The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement", openly dedicates Hamas to genocide against the Jewish people.



And they also filmed themselves slaughtering Jews.

Please tell me how this victim murdered by Hamas jihadists is an example of "whiteness"...

That post is just a screenshot and doesn't appear anywhere in his history
This means its either fake or a screenshot before his death
I find it highly unlikely that someone made a screenshot of a post of him before and quickly distributed around the same time his Account was discovered.
Only way to prove it is to reverse search the image and look when it was first posted.
Im too retarded for this though and too lazy.

And the second option is that it's very much real and antisemitism is becoming an important aspect of the far-left.

Its unlikely that the screenshot is real.
This doesn't mean I agree with him at all.
Anyway, I don't think his death will have such a huge impact beside social media babble.
You can see this as good or bad.

I'm sorry but nothing about the screenshot looks fake to me.
