A small business owner got in a series of fights with city hall and other business owners, largely his fault. After a long series of self-inflicted hardships, he took a bulldozer, armored it with layers of concrete and metal plates and guns, and went on a rampage through town, destroying buildings of everyone who he thought wronged him, most while they were still occupied (everyone escaped safely). Eventually the killdozer got stuck in a ditch and he committed suicide.
The whole story became famous after someone posted an entertaining SomethingAwful thread valorizing the guy as a hero of the people. (Which I can’t find, wtf Google)
So the internet is valorizing a guy who threw a hissy fit over someone else doing what he pleases with property the killdozer guy does not own?
And all that destruction is heroic because “ItS fUnNy!1!1!1!1!”
Once again, the west fetishizes its respect for property rights until someone they don’t like leverages them…or if they think it’s funny enough to disrespect them at any given moment.
