Hi I knew awake the rapper/ Robert / Bobby Crimo. We used to make music together around 2015-18. He’s not antifa, he’s not some maga overlord. I know that shit sounds really interesting. But it’s not the truth. He was an isolated stoner who completely lost touch with reality. 1/2

He coopted aesthetics from the left and right but I don’t think he was any of those things, I think he was lost. Gravitated towards aesthetics he found interesting. Maybe things can change in a couple of years, but he was never a white nationalist. And was never a leftist.
Not to excuse him or anything. What he did was awful and I hope he rots. But to say he was an antifa shooter, or a qanon supporter or whatever. It’s bullshit. He was not mkultra’d. he liked ARGs and thought it was cool. I know leftist twitter and trump stan twitter want to make

Him into whatever type of person they want to vilify but he isn’t that. Anybody that knew him could attest to that. In his last years he was making some weird ass videos. But like, yeah, no sane person does what he does. There’s nothing deeper to it. Crazy being crazy.

If I could say one thing it would be this: do not spend your time focusing on his motives, his backstory. This isn’t a tv show, there isn’t some grand conspiracy here. Maybe elsewhere, but not here. Please check in with your friends. Please show the victims support.

He actually is a big participant in trump rallies. You can find pictures of him at trump rallies and wearing trump flags.

It's fair to say he took whatever form he thought was socially acceptable. Acceptable in terms of violence. It's no coincidence that he co-opted both sides. Antifa in early Trump and Trump later. The thing is, how do we hold Trump and others foisting this accountable?

The thing is: Aesthetic IS Ideology. It sounds stupid on its face, but Aesthetic is directly informed by ideology
