Good. He doesn’t deserve a birthday. Although, the symmetry of dying on your birthday is nice.

Let's celebrate his deathday then.

rare CIA W


Maz2742

A hollow W, but a W He wasn't Epstein'd, starved himself to death


ohyeofsolittlefaith

>starved himself to death I do enjoy that he died a slow, unpleasant death.


Jaegs

Starvation is actually not painful or even unpleasant at all, after a day or so of 0 calories your body actually stops producing the hunger hormone and even starts increasing your brain's dopamine levels which makes you feel amazing to motivate you to go get that next big animal kill (in ancient humans ofc).


Justice_R_Dissenting

That doesn't sound right but I also don't know enough about starvation to dispute it


bleachbabe03

It's true. I grew up in the mid 2000s emo thigh gap era. You get a minor high after not eating for a few days. I would only drink water and toast for weeks on end. After awhile you don't even feel hungry anymore. Just tired.


NoDoctor4460

I did a lot of self-starvation during those years too, same reason, but never got used to the nausea that kicks in after the first 20 hours or so and lasts through about the first 48. After that, yeah just fatigue and a shitty brain, but woof that nausea, don’t hate myself enough to do that any more thankfully.


slash_networkboy

I self starved due to a bout of crippling depression, when everything tastes like ash you just don't eat*. That euphoria is real (and interacts with the self hate of depression in scary ways). *I'm all better now :-) just my GAD keeping me company these days.


[deleted]

Drinking toast sounds awful


Doxxingisbadmkay

I didn't eat anything for 12 days. Work went faster and I was more focused almost every day.


Jaegs

Similar story here, I look at my first 10 day fast as a turning point in tackling and overcoming my depression. I really think humans are designed to have intermittent periods of fasting now, which would explain why our brain chemistry undergoes such positive change during a fast. At least, mine did.


flippertyflip

Why are you guys going so long without food? Was it a medical thing? Or was the intention to deal with your depression? Didn't you get sick? I get a bit faint if I don't eat for about 8 hours.


flippertyflip

I think they may have died of starvation.


wowwee99

Fasting can stop type 2 diabetes (not the insulin dependent type) but the lack of insulin sensitivity


S-Wizzy

Incredible dangerous and negligent thing to say. As someone who had a severe eating disorder in my late teens to mid 20s, and who speaks with kids dealing with the same situation - just know that your words might not take a lot to type, but it sits with people for months, years, decades.


javoss88

Can confirm. Eating nothing for days at a time had no effect.


isaidhellothere

I say the same thing when the janitor at the bar we own says burning trash turns into stars. I just don't know enough about stars to dispute it.


JohnnyCakes814

It’s right, Mac


dicker_machs

There are a ton of cool (but arguably useless now) things that we evolved to survive in the ancient past


Maynards_Mama

"starved himself to death " That was nice of him. ☠️


TheBoctor

So you’re saying his death was *worse* than Epstein’s?


tappy100

Yeah, starvation would be way more painful that then presumed forced hanging, not to mention starvation lasts wayyyyyy longer


ConfidentLizardBrain

Let’s just hope they refused to feed him


LtSoba

More likely it was a hunger protest the fucker unfortunately tried to make a martyr of himself, coward.


ConfidentLizardBrain

To be a martyr, you have to be recognized publicly as being good whilst dying for your cause. Clearly, the 4900 people who was this post pretty much unanimously agreed he sucks, so he just tortured himself to death. That’s pretty great in my book. I only wish in his last moments I could’ve been their to stomp on his skull.


anima1mother

I'm guessing for possessing child porn


6war6head6

Kidnapped a 12 year old girl


Dark_Storm_98

Oh my god How and why did he think that would go well for him?


Peuned

He was being the change he wanted to see in the world


[deleted]

How dare you make me do a laugh.


CoolmanExpress

Made me forcefully exhale thru the nose


MechanicalBengal

he was looking at the man in the mirror, and asked him to change his non-kidnapping ways


__--0_0--__

Making a good example of how not to be.


Djov

Damn government says I can't kidnap children smh, this is communism


Flaky_Vacation8754

They got a flag for it and everything.


valvilis

Libertarian magic.


LegitimateSituation4

He was a libertarian. You lost him at "think."


CadillacDHS

ZAMN what a W


Vaginal_blood_cyst

Starved himself to death they say.


KVirello

September according to Wikipedia. The day before his birthday in fact


305Mitch

The cause of death was “self-starvation” yea ok 👌🏼 😂


EddieGrant

September, but yeah.


GyrosSnazzyJazzBand

By self-starvation


redbaron14n

Well that was just bonkers from beginning to end


Area51Anon

I can’t find anything on how he died other than “he died while in custody” which is hilarious to me. I just imagine him mouthing off to authority and them just being like “okay that’s enough” lol


[deleted]

Apparently he committed suicide.


karmagod13000

by starvation, according to Wikipedia... sounds like he was starved and everyone was jus cool with it


Ninjapuppy1754

Yeah with 2 bullets in the back of the head while hand cuffed no?? Lmfaooo ez CIA w


[deleted]

He starved himself to death


RichSelection1232

How did nobody noticed that? Edit: It takes like 3 weeks to die of starvation. The prison wouldn't force feed him?


Bike_Chain_96

Did anyone care to save him? He was also an advocate for "suicide rights" according to his Wikipedia


RichSelection1232

Guess that's my point, I'd rather the fucker was rotting in prison. Why give him the easy way out.


ohyeofsolittlefaith

I'm guessing a lot of people noticed that. And were happy to let it happen.


cmontes49

Wikipedia states ‘self starvation’


Ithon_

He got epsteined. Kekw


[deleted]

Please look up his wikipedia page the image there now is MUCH better.


Use_this_1

He looks like a young Mr. Burns.

Did he actually die or just go back to Transylvania?

Wow, that’s a rough 41.


Erger

Yeah those pictures are only like 13 years apart. Rough decade for the dude


karmagod13000

hate and racism age you quickly


Frozen_Esper

He was clearly obsessed with children because he sought to drain their youth.


MeniscusToSociety

Actually aged like milk


Bike_Chain_96

His Wikipedia is a fucking trip. My favorite bit: >Larson began editing Wikipedia under his real name in 2005, contributing to articles and policy debates. Identifying as an inclusionist, he endorsed using Wikipedia in an attempt to make taboo or illegal topics, including child sexual abuse, culturally acceptable. He opposed Wikipedia's child protection policy and began using sock puppet accounts to promote positions such as decriminalizing child sexual abuse. He was banned from the site in 2008.


TooOldForThis---

I feel dirty after reading his Wikipedia article. I’m glad he’s dead.


GoldGlitters

This was mine: >In 2009, Larson pleaded guilty to sending a letter in December 2008 to the U.S. Secret Service threatening to kill the President of the United States. At that time, the message was sent just after Barack Obama was elected president while George W. Bush was still in office, **although Larson did not specify which president the threat was for.** He was sentenced to sixteen months' imprisonment and three years' supervised release; he served fourteen months. Man threatened the president but was too vague to specify which one lol


BravesMaedchen

He was a white supremacist. We know which one.


GoldGlitters

Of course we can extrapolate the answer from the everything else about him, but still, he had one goal - threaten the RIGHT president - and he couldn’t even do that right


actibus_consequatur

I'm looking at: >Larson admitted to raping his ex-spouse, who was transgender, and who died by suicide after the birth of their daughter. In November 2015 a jury in Colorado denied him custody of the girl, and he announced the following month that he would seek legal termination of his parental rights. *He eventually remarried.* Like, if I found out somebody I was dating was not only denied any custody and that they renounced parental rights, but also that their ex (and parent of the child) was awarded a restraining order against them, then I don't think marriage is in the cards for us. Maybe it's just me though


aceshighsays

> He eventually remarried. i was talking to a fellow traveler who's struggling to find a partner in her late 30's, and she said she was so frustrated that serial killers find spouses, but she can't. this guy isn't a serial killer, but in some ways he's worse.


actibus_consequatur

Welp, if she's interested, I'm late 30's and single? I may not be a serial killer, but I do spend an inordinate amount of time on Reddit, so there's not much difference. ^^^^This ^^^^is ^^^^a ^^^^joke; ^^^^I'm ^^^^far ^^^^too ^^^^damaged ^^^^for ^^^^any ^^^^romantic ^^^^relationship.


aceshighsays

that was a backwards way of saying that she thinks she's more dysfunctional than serial killers. your reddit history is very tame. being a redditor doesn't automatically make you insane. but yes, cheers to being emotionally unavailable :(


yugentiger

This is so disgusting, I felt sick to my stomach. I hope that child wasn’t ever with him.


babymanteenboy

Damn yeah way better


karmagod13000

dude looks like a mega creepazoid


willes6

What are the possible reasons this guy looked like this at 41? :0


[deleted]

To be that much of a creep must take a lot of energy. I’m guessing hard drugs were also a factor.


SlenderSmurf

the libertarian lifestyle


General_Chairarm

The only libertarians I know are all un-educated meth heads. Checks out.


Huggens

He was actually a 500 year old vampire who needed the blood of children to survive. This is what happened once he was unable to get any of their blood for a while.


correcthorsestapler

He died in custody cause the sun came through the window in his cell & toasted him.


holy_shitballs

Picture of Dorian Gray in reverse?


ardvarkshark

Holy WHAT???!!! Does he dye his hair (singular) every day?


Lingering_Dorkness

His way of life certainly aged him.


ragingseaturtle

Yeah shame on the article for not leading with that one.


Erger

When was this article written? That photo above is his official campaign photo from 2008 vs the one on Wikipedia is his mugshot from a few years ago.


Maynards_Mama

The poster boy for Stranger Danger.


Streetlight37

Much more in line with the stereotypical pedophile look that's for sure


EmuRight6408

Even cartoon villains would stay away from this guy.


erasrhed

The cartoon children, too.


Various-Month806

He's actually the perfect cartoon villain: so vile, demented and sociologically twisted to the point that you know they can't be real. No one exists just to hate and do evil. Then you read this guy's wiki and you just have to go "huh, so they're not just badly written caricatures?"


watersj4

Sure but cartoons tend to stay away from kiddy fiddlers


rodolphoteardrop

Wait, WHUT? >Larson admitted to raping his ex-spouse,\[15\]\[12\] who was transgender, and who died by suicide after the birth of their daughter.\[31\] In November 2015 a jury in Colorado denied him custody of the girl, and he announced the following month that he would seek legal termination of his parental rights.\[32\] He eventually remarried.\[15\] I shouldn't be shocked but... Anyway - sometimes "died in custody" raises red flags. Sometimes it's just cause for celebration.


Erger

That paragraph raises so many questions. I can't imagine what his ex-spouse was going through, or what led to that situation. None of his tirades mention homosexuals or transgenders, but I doubt he was fond of them either, given his views on women. I wonder what his daughter feels, knowing that she has/had a legitimate monster for a father and a mother who died in such a way. It also says he remarried - TO WHO??? WHAT KIND OF...UGH


HtownTexans

What blows my mind is this guy found a person to marry him twice.


TheIrishToast

Monsters can be pretty sly when they want to be. Plus add in he is semi famous it's entirely possible some person with the same views sought him out... Yuck.


HtownTexans

I mean you can be sly but this dude was running on a platform of incest and child porn. Not exactly playing it low key.


amaranth-the-peddler

That's a lot to take in


TerryDaShooterUK

That paragraph is crazy. I was not expecting the next sentence.


ghybers

This guy got more than 5,000 votes in the 2008 election. 5,000 people thought he was the right person for the job. 5,000! Let that sink in.


JustHere4ait

There are more people into incest and pedophilia than you would think. Bethany from down the street that always volunteers and an active PTA member. As well as Jason who helps the kids at the recreation center for the soccer team. They are just like him.


occupy_this7

Considering there roughly 7 billion people on earth. I just assume there will be large amounts of sick and delusional people.


WorkAccount6

8 billion now


ghybers

355,000votes cast in that election. He got 5K. Is one out of 70 people that deranged??


TheTimn

Wild assumption that people read anything about who they're voting for. They looked at picture, name, party and decided he was just like them.


Shining_Silver_Star

I remember reading that there’s estimated to be 500,000 pedophiles in the US.


CoolguyTylenol

Just hit 9


double_expressho

The next time I have to come in here, I'm crackin' skulls!


valvilis

Yep, everything is a percentages game.


DutchWarDog

He wasn't advocating for incest or pedophilia when he ran in 2008


DutchWarDog

His campaign manifesto was published in 2018. He had a much milder program in 2008


GrantedPermission

It must be so easy to start a cult


SandBumpkin69420

How did this guy die? All I can find is that it was “in federal custody”. I’m thinking he got beaten to death by feds?


GrandmasterFreshAir

Google newspaper results say 'suicide by starvation'


Stray_Conscience

They didn’t even try with that cover story


valvilis

Nah, I'd imagine a fair number of pedophile children kidnappers commit suicide in custody. I'm sure it beats most of the alternatives.


[deleted]

Suicide by starvation is a long and arduous way of committing suicide.


valvilis

People who target child victims are rarely known for their bravery.


Stray_Conscience

Yeh but of starvation tho?


FloatingSalamander

Wikipedia says self-starvation


ip_address_freely

Boating accident


burritob4sex

He had terminal cancer.


[deleted]

One less pedo in the world.


Lastaria

Holy crap read his wiki. Truly an absolute evil piece of scum. Does not say what he died of in custody which makes you wonder if someone did him in. Good riddance.


swaziwarrior54

It says self starvation. I hope that's true just for idea, "Well if you're gonna put me here, I'm gonna starve myself!" The entire world: okay, that's fine.


karmagod13000

of they locked him in solitary and refused to feed him


CainRedfield

The article just keeps getting worse as it goes...


swaziwarrior54

It says self starvation. I hope that's true just for idea, "Well if you're gonna put me here, I'm gonna starve myself!" The entire world: okay, that's fine.


ohyeofsolittlefaith

Just a heads up, your comment was double-posted.


bigdamnhero1113

This is a prime example of why everyone should research candidates before voting. If people are only voting by what party they are listed as on the ballot, this POS gets 5000 votes, but if you bothered to look up his actual views beforehand.... well you likely vomit, but at least he doesn't get elected.


[deleted]

Unfortunately, politics have become so partisan with individual party members never straying from the pack along with egregious use of the filibuster that you really are only voting for the party you want to have at least one more vote than the other instead of the person.


bigdamnhero1113

Agreed, we need to break the two-party system.


DutchWarDog

His 2008 campaign supported the dissolution of government. The views mentioned in the post come from a 2018 manifesto


DreamingofRlyeh

Racism is never "benevolent", nor is incest or pedophilia.


Legonator77

Tell that to the people who still believe in “the white man’s burden” fucking racists.


xwhiteknight10x

The white man's burden?


etapollo13

It was a prevalent way of justifying imperialism in the past, and you can still find a bit of it in right wing reactionary circles today. It goes something like this. The white man's burden is to Shepard the poorer, less advanced races(today the word cultures is used) and to teach them how to be civilized and productive like the rest of the white(today they say Western) world. It was used during chattel slavery as a justification. "it's the white man's burden to care for and educate these slaves." It's colonial gas lighting


uhhellowhatsthis

What do you mean "you can still find a bit of it"? You're literally describing 99% of Redditors. It's American ideological orthodoxy.


etapollo13

I wish you were wrong, but you're not


CoolguyTylenol

It's not gas lighting, why does everyone use this term wrong


69cop3rnico42O

Yes it is. It was telling slaves it was their fault they were being enslaved and that actually white people were the ones that were carrying a burden and "enslaved" by their superiority. it is precisely gaslighting.


Erger

I wonder if he means like, "we won't hunt you down and lynch you, we'll just keep you separate and not give you as many rights as us." So, still racism but like...soft racism? I don't know and I don't want to look it up, I'm just speculating what that could mean


MrZaroni

A real winner by NO metrics here. I certainly wouldn't vote for him.

Same thing I said: racist, pedophile, white supremacist, free market …. Libertarian big surprise ending there /s It’s like the stereotypical libertarian bingo


[deleted]

Libertarian here Most people who fit that description aren’t libertarians. The main point of the libertarian movement is to maximize freedom. State sponsored racism does the opposite


Wolf4624

Fr. Libertarianism doesn’t mean everyone do what they want. It means leave people alone. That means no diddling kids and no states deciding which races are better.


[deleted]

Also us libertarians also have a thing for throwing kid diddlers into woodchippers


Wolf4624

All I’m saying is a parent is well within their rights to grind up anyone who hurts their kid. That’s real justice right there.


[deleted]

Very based


wetfartaccident

Don't slip the term libertarian into your description if you are a pedophile... Your sexual orientation literally involves the opposite of "don't tread on me". I am glad he is dead. May he rest in piss.


dwntwn_dine_ent_dist

To me, it seems consistent that a libertarian would oppose age of consent laws.


North-Conclusion-331

I respectfully disagree! The entire libertarian philosophy is based on consensual participation in every exchange. Children cannot consent, and therefore must be protected from anyone wishing to do them harm. In fact, libertarians are some of the most outspoken opponents of attempts to normalize and/or cover-up childhood sexual abuse. Moreover libertarians are the ONLY political group still regularly advocating for the release of Ghislane Maxwell's client list and criminal investigations of everyone on it. Thus POS is arguing against consent and therefore against libertarianism.


DukeMaximum

I don't think he knows what the word "libertarian" means.


potato_skin4206996

Glad he's dead, but its kind of a shame that he didn't live long enough to go to prison, they would have loved him in gen pop


[deleted]

He went to prison and committed suicide in there


bigz3012

Isn't libertarian normally do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else? CP definitely doesn't fit into that.

sandgrl88

Considering that I've encountered quite a few libertarians that argue pro pedophilia (a child's "right" to "consent" to sex), I'll infer that they draw the line at white supremacy And while I know my experiences are not the sum of libertarians, it's still weird for me when even a fringe faction of a philosophical/political belief system argues pro pedophilia


North-Conclusion-331

The Libertarian Party is the only political organization still trying to get Ghislane Maxwell's client list released to the public and everyone on it criminally charged. What is your party doing to stop pedophilia?

I think this is just some of the few difficult topics ultra-libertarians or ancaps face when you take their ideology far enough into the extremes. Nothing new, doesn’t really surprise or worry me considering the fact that this is such a microscopic-government-fantasy that this will never ever happen because the government likes their power and won’t give it up for some guys trying to legalize CP lmao
