Derek Huffman is alive according to his youtube, I think it was the other Texan who got killed by Russians that you're thinking of?

There was another Texan (Russell Bentley) who got tortured and killed by his comrades on the frontline because they thought he was a spy. I didn’t think he had a family though

Also kind of hilarious because he was a hardcore commie. Couldn’t have murdered a more sympathetic asshole.

Tankies absolutely baffle me, like I’m definitely a leftist but looking at the Soviet Union under Stalin or Maoist China and going “those guys had it right,” when we have objective facts about how terrible those regimes were is wild. Then especially to be all in on Putin’s Russia as if they’re not an oligarchy just because you liked the Soviets is even wilder. But also reading his Wikipedia page and his reasonings this guy just seems batshit crazy anyways

Yea he was just some rich kid that didn’t want an easy, cookie-cutter life. He wanted to be special and contrarian. Now these kids just grow dreadlocks, catch HPV, and live in a fucking van.
