i always knew bob bryar wouldn’t live a long life. naively i thought that other people understood that. but then i would watch fans fall for his self destructive bait, hook line and sinker.
“i don’t support bob” yeah no one did. anyone who tried was pushed away. he was alone and he died and days passed until he was discovered.
i’ve always been curious of who receives help for their mental health. how for some people the world stops for them and people rally around them and for others they are entirely toss aside and ignored. (think about it). i think it is charisma at the end of the day. bob didn’t have it.
and bob was very difficult.
poor mental health can make you be real fucking shitty. especially is you were already a bit of an asshole to begin with. it can make you self sabotage. where there isn’t anything off limits to wreck your own life. where is the line of accountability and illness? can there never be redemption? and what about those who never get better is there no understanding at least?
when it comes to the right wing stuff, you got to realize that maga is a cult, and cults prey on the vulnerable for recruitment. a mentally deteriorating white man is their main demographic of recruitment. but i was always a bit skeptical of his politics mainly because i could see he was trying to piss fans off and that was one of the easiest ways to do it. how authentic was it really. because when it actually came to the causes he supported it was always about animal rights and supporting shelters. he auctioned off his drums and black parade costume and donated it all to animal shelters. those are his actual actions compared to his words.
and who knows if he even voted in this last election, he was last seen alive the day before. and remember he was just a citizen, being the ex drummer from mcr actually doesn’t give you political power. he was just a man. self isolated one too.
and you can’t tell me that this fan space actually gives a shit about holding people accountable. mcr fans are always willing to overlook the prejudice of their favourites, but will make up stories about others to hate on them. bob is accountable to his actions, but mcr fans have also created heavily exaggerated lore for him as well. I hate the high horse, if you were bullying him online when he was alive that does not make you a good person and did nothing to help any cause you claim to support.
and if you care about mental health and envision a future where everyone can get help and become stable and happy, you should at least be curious about what could have been different to have a different outcome. bob slipped though every crack.
i am glad they did the tribute in chicago.
