I don’t think there is anything to “know”.

I don’t think there is any “big secrets” that this guy had. He was just one of these Manosphere influencers who happened to live in Kharkiv.

He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, didn’t understand the risk he was running. There is no great ‘hidden story” here.

Remind me again who was president during the period 2018-2020? Was it Biden?

I didn’t mean anything about him having secrets but that it appears he was the ultimate nobody, we don’t even know his politics.

It is disturbing that he is being portrayed as a hero and a warrior who sacrificed his life for truth (a different thread, not this one) etc. without us even knowing who he was.

The headlines are almost comedic these days. I think people should check their spelling and content before posting. Trying to get the scoop leaves us wondering who Gondola is. Haste makes waste.

Some people are going project a political agenda or “hero” story to try to give meaning to a meaningless and un-necessary death.

Or try to create a “innocent victim story”/Ukraine atrocity story for the ongoing ideological conflict over the Ukraine war.

Prior to the invasion his politics appeared to be Manosphere “dating coach”.

The only thing he ever did that was significant or notable was to broadcast anti Ukraine messaging from Kharkiv, during the Russian invasion.

Difference is giving Ukraine 100 billion dollars and our state department letting him die because Victoria Nuland. If Gonzalo were a tranny WNBA player in Russia, .gov would have intervened.

Yes. But that was May 2023. I’m sure he could have got out if he had left months earlier.

By the time he realized he had to get out, it was too late.

Not to me.

When some of them wanted a nuclear war in 2022 rather than allowing Putin to “win”, I realized there was nothing they wouldn’t approve of.

When one is motivated entirely by hatred, it justifies anything, including self-destruction.

Well, when you're visiting a country fighting in an existential war, it's generally wise to keep one's yap shut and not attack the host government or else dox its military service people or other reporters covering the news there.

Which is exactly what this loser did.

No sympathy.

He was an American expat married to a Ukrainian.

He used to be mostly a conservative/men’s right social issue commentator.

He evolved into discussing more geopolitics including criticizing the UKR regime.

He was locked up in UKR jail for his speech. He was released and then then later captured at the border while trying to leave UKR.

Joe Biden allowed him to die in prison. Allegedly torture and abuse led to his demise.
