We’re talking about Max Azzarello, who on April 19th set himself on fire outside the Manhattan Criminal Court where jury selection was concluding for Trump’s Stormy Daniels/hush money trial.

In the final post on his Substack titled "I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial," Max Azzarello explained that “[t]his extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery. We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.”

We get into Max's conspiracy laden writing. Sean floats the idea of spontaneously developing, ad hoc conspiracies, and we both agree that, all things being equal, a cop is gonna cop.
