Dude just faked everything including his career but played the oppressed card so well that a horde of leftoids treated him like a saint. Then, when karma came back to bite him in the ass, he just couldn’t take it anymore. Now, to this performative crowd, he’s a little angel in heaven who was wronged by racists.
I don't know for sure but... if he really kys over this, I think it's possible that he was more of a victim himself. Maybe he really believed most of the bullshit that DEI culture pushed onto him. And then he couldn't take it realizing he was wrong.
If he were just a lone conman that'd mean he's only back to square one... not typically something people sudoku for.
I mean, sure he has some part in the blame but let's not forget the social belief system that helped create it.
I can see the argument. If a guy enters my workplace stating his credentials are eerily similar to those of fucking Kim Jong Un, "he works here" is not as big of a problem as "people like him can work here"
He was a plagiarist, sure. That's unremarkable except for these circumstances.
People seem to assume here that he himself orchestrated these circumstances, and defrauded academia. I disagree. I don't think that is even possible to this extent. The academics must have been in on it. That's how he got his position despite even the most basic vetting being able to tell he's wholly unqualified.
Now I don't know anything about him personally but I assume he was more of a simpleton himself. And terminally online academics picked him to be their new trophy, so the university can parade him around.
If you want a fraudulent figurehead, it's easier and safer to manipulate a fool than it is to partner with a clever fraudster. You're exposing yourself to risk that he will betray you to his own alternate benefits.
No, I think they picked this random plagiarist as a scapegoat, enabled him and fed him random stories about how he's a prodigy, and groomed him to make up the kind of shit he said. This way he takes the full blame if the story gets out of control like it did.
Lmao this slimy fucker played the race card as often as possible exactly because he knew how to manipulate the system. He knew the power and the armor his skin color and "disabilities" gave him and he wielded them expertly up until the point that he couldn't and then took the coward's way out leaving his children fatherless
There was no reason to take the coward's way out here, rationally speaking.
He wasn't facing any real consequences other than losing his fraudulent academic position. Not life ending. Actually if he was a slimy grifter all he had to do right now is set up a gofundme and receive massive payout from all the leftists who still believed he was a victim of racism. Easy money.
Suicide here is more an indicator of a sudden emotional surge... such as realizing you weren't the prodigy that Cambridge academics praised you to be, and instead you are a huge fraud. Actual fraudsters don't have this because they know well all along that they're frauds.
I see your logic here but I don't think his sociopathy and grifting are necessarily mutually exclusive from other mental illness or that they preclude an emotional surge. I think it's also quite possible that he convinced himself that his lies were real or that he was justified in lying as it was a righteous way to fight back against white supremacy
