The sudden death of anyone at a young age is always tragic. Yet, the act of suicide is selfish and only hurts those they leave behind. Aaron was not a martyr, he was a coward and like typical millennial parents they blame the government not Aaron for his own death. I feel bad only for his family because they lost a son and a brother and did not deserve this. The rest of this circus is millennial grandstanding because they feel entitled to illegally download whatever they want, whenever they want.
I saw nothing in Aaron but an average kid who was way over-hyped as a "prodigy" while doing nothing of real significance. As with most Millennials, during his whole life he was likely told how "brilliant" he was and excuses were made for what should have been learning experiences. Millennials love to over-hype their own accomplishments and fool themselves into believing they are or will change the world. Very few actually do and Aaron was not one of them.
Aaron was nothing more than someone who had a knack for attaching himself to noble causes and inflating his importance in them. Even in this documentary they incorrectly stated that Aaron was a co-founder of Reddit when in reality he was nothing more than a co-owner. These are two vastly different things. Yet, most low-information Millennials believe otherwise.
For an alleged "genius" he appeared to not be able to think one move ahead, let alone contemplate the repercussions of his actions. He actually came across as a pathetic whiner who could not handle the "stress" of working at a corporation and being interrupted to (gasp) play video games. Is this some sort of a joke?
Aaron was such a "mastermind" that he gets caught like an incompetent amateur half-ass connecting a laptop directly to a network switch in an MIT closet. What sort of "genius" thinks that the MIT network admins are incompetent? Come on Millennials you cannot be this stupid.
What Aaron did was illegal, make no mistake about it and while not something that deserved more than a slap on the wrist, we never get to see the end because he was too afraid to own up to the consequences of his actions just like a true coward. Yet, no one holds Aaron accountable and just makes more excuses for his behavior.
At the end of the day, there is nothing to see here but the inner-workings of the delusional millennial mindset. They create idols and martyrs out of emotional rhetoric and hollow talking points to cover up their selfish entitlement mentality.
