'Haunting' last words of the man who self-immolated during Trump's NYC trial: 'Rotten truth of post-truth America'

Man sets himself on fire during Trump trial in NYC, leaves world questioning his 'totalitarian con' statement
On April 19, during former President Trump's trial in New York City, a man set himself on fire and uttered haunting last words before succumbing to his injuries. His final statement, "We are victims of a totalitarian con," has raised eyebrows about the motivations behind this desperate act of protest. The incident, witnessed by onlookers and captured by media cameras, has left the world grappling with questions and concerns surrounding his manifesto.

While this may not be the first time such an extreme act has been witnessed amid legal proceedings, Max Azzarello's actions have sparked widespread debate over his final words. “My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan,” his rambling manifesto read.

The 34-year-old man from Florida set himself on fire as a protest to highlight what he believed was a dire revelation: “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.”

The self-proclaimed investigative researcher said that these allegations may seem like far-fetched conspiracy theories, but they are not. According to him through thorough research, these claims can be proved. “If you learn a great deal about Ponzi schemes, you will discover that our life is a lie.”

there's nothing "haunting" about his last words.
He went down the rabbit hole of conspiracies and couldn't come back.
