He knew he might go to jail for this, that’s the whole point, if you’re so afraid of jail the thought makes you want to kill yourself, you dont do things like hacktivism.
Way to victim blame someone who was clearly suffering from a collapsing mental health at the hands of the US empire.
Were you not implying that because he knew he could go to jail, he’s somehow foolish for killing himself when that possibility surfaced? A la he should have seen it coming and if he couldn’t deal with it it’s his own fault?
Again, your exact words were:
if you’re so afraid of jail the thought makes you want to kill yourself, you dont do things like hacktivism.
Implying that his literal death was his own fault.
Because that’s victim blaming. It’s not that different logically from “she wore skimpy clothing in a dark alley so it’s her own fault she was assaulted!”
you misunderstood me, I’m saying it sounds like he got killed by James Bond…
I literally thought this was sarcasm. Like, genuinely didn’t connect that line to a serious statement of “I think he was assassinated”. Maybe don’t reference a movie franchise when expressing that you think a real person was really killed by a real regime? Even if people realize that’s what you’re saying, IMO it’s still in poor taste.
But yes, if your intended context was that you think he was murdered and did not commit suicide, then no it wasn’t victim blaming what you said. My mistake.
so you genuinely mistook that for some “don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time” conservative mumbo jumbo about laws being important? you’re not just fucking with me?
its alright dont worry about it… but look at this shit does this sound like a suicide case to you?
“He was brilliant and funny,” Lessig wrote in a blog post Saturday. “A kid genius. A soul, a conscience, the source of a question I have asked myself a million times: What would Aaron think?”

okay well now you’re just purposefully twisting my words around, may I ask why or is that a secret?

did you just edit your comment and a bunch of extra shit after I replied to make it look like I was dodging your questions?
No, I was providing more information on why I thought you were victim blaming. I didn’t ask any extra questions, I copied and pasted a quote from you.
okay?
literally the first sentence is me saying I think he was assassinated, did you even read it, or are you just like on a tear?

No. I don’t fuck with people on this kind of subject matter ever. I’m also not great at reading implications sometimes.
