Bushnell did post things online. His facebook is https://www.facebook.com/aaron.bushnell.94, but from what I can tell his final message ("Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now.") is deleted.

There are several Bushnell quotes scattered throughout, like "be complicit in genocide", from some of his last spoken words: "My name is Aaron Bushnell, I am an active-duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide". And when it says "No, he clearly stated" in the article, what follows is a quote directly from the mouth of Bushnell. Bushnell had an active Twitch channel, in which he among other things streamed his self-immolation, and during that he says a number of things, like "I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonisers, it's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal."

Probably referring to 'free' markets. AKA neoliberalism as opposed to economic democratization.

I think they mean the free market? I'm a bit confused on that too, especially consider Bushnell was an anarchist..
