A 37 year old man named Max Azzarello of Saint Augustine, Florida self immolated outside the New York City courthouse where a trial of former president Donald Trump was being held yesterday and, not surprisingly, the media tried to imply he was a Trump supporter. However, his memory and deed will soon be deep sixed by the media because Azzarello’s leftist background goes against their narrative.

As it turns out, Azzarello was a self-proclaimed investigative researcher whose activities included a variety of political interests, among them climate change. He maintained an Twitter account where Azzarello posted continuous tirades about government corruption and fascism.

Azzarello’s environmentalism was revealed when he expressed love of Mother Earth magazine to high heavens in his Reddit profile recently posted on Twitter X.

Azzarello also maintained a Substack account called the The Ponzi Papers where he posted his farewell before setting himself on fire. While present at the New York courthouse where the Trump trial was being held, Azzarello carried a sign that indicated his disdain not only of Donald Trump but also Joe Biden too.

Max Azzarello’s views were totally unhinged and he was obsessed with people like billionaire Peter Thiel, crytocurrency, fascism, capitalism, and climate change. He also had a history of involvement in Democrat Party politics too having worked as Operations Director for the campaigns of New York Democrat Tom Suozzi and California Democrat Ami Bera.

At one point, according to Newsweek, Azzarello unsuccessfully tried to sue the Clinton Foundation accusing the group of being involved in a “decadeslong” Ponzi scheme that caused harm to his overall mental and physical safety.

Max Azzarello was no Trump supporter and, as unlike what the media will tell you about him, fits the description of a misfit or true believer as accurately described by philosopher Eric Hoffer. He is no different than many other misfits before him like mass shooters Anders Brevik, Brenton Tarrant, or Connor Betts. The only difference is the outcome of their acts. It is very likely Max Azzarello obviously concluded his death was the best way to highlight the message or warnings he unsuccessfully tried to convey to the world and his radicalism was deep enough to where he was willing to take his own life.
