      When I read it, it just felt like ramblings of an madman. Kind of like the shit basement dwellers who've not gone outside for a decade would write.

        This is what I've heard and I find the idea of treating it like a Wittgenstein text and extracting every coherent thought you can from it incredibly funny.

          Yeah it’s basically a big long unhinged rant. Sort of like an early 20th century German version of some chud wearing Oakleys and sitting in his truck making a 3 hour long video about god knows what.
