    He was a Leftbook regular that passed away a few years ago. The fox news guy apparently made a beeline for him with the camera crew thinking he was an easy mark. Constantly arguing with liberals prepared him for this very moment. o7

        From what i recall, he was another victim of the opioid epidemic. He was just a kid when he passed. Was talking big game about organizing and getting involved in local groups, and we were all happy for him. He was part of the first modern “tankie” cliques i remember seeing online, and ended up convincing me more times than i wanted to admit at the time.

        Edit: thinking about it now, i remember him having interests in computer sciences and cybersecurity, and hating on redditors. Were it not for the circumstances that made him leave us so early, I think that he’d very likely be posting Stalin memes alongside us if he were here today.
