So I'm listening to MSNBC and they said they got a glimpse of the papers that the gentleman tossed in the air before lightly roasting himself.

"Vast conspiracy theories" they said.

Q-Anon has entered the chat

Here's an image of one of the pamphlets.

Capitalism's demand for endless growth is unsustainable, OK, but I don't see the link to setting yourself on fire. The government is complicit, yeah, we know, this isn't new information. The Simpsons is a secret brainwashing plot? Incoherent rambling about climate change, COVID, random media, canned water, and somehow Trump is both part of the scam and the only one who can defeat it? I know I shouldn't be expecting much in the way of, you know, rational thought, but I can't even tell what his delusion consists of. It's a ramble of self contradictory nonsense.

How did the government get his laptop and which branch of government was it? I hope it's a cool story and not just "I forgot my laptop at the DMV".

"Abolish our criminal government" by supporting a known member of the establishment with a history of fraud and infidelity. I don't know what can go wrong.

But then again it's a two party system there. So they really don't have a way out and it might seem like the only one.

I read his reddit account before they deleted it, honestly didn't seem qanon more left wing anti tech doomer. Obviously struggling with mental illness, seemed like a lot of the gang stalking types.

I suspect seeing the adulation people heaped on the last mentally ill person to kill themselves like this he was inspired.

What's a 'gang stalking type'?

The people who believe there's a vast conspiracy of people playing cruel pranks on them personally, it's associated with mental illness most often schizophrenia.
