Urban v's the Commentariat

News reports about Weev claim he's from a poor background.
Maybe it's more than money then. He exudes entitlement, he expects to b listened to & taken seriously. Idk his background but he seems more middle class/privileged than, for eg, the stereotype of racist edl supporter. Who no doubt would b mocked by lp & ilk for things like grammar, spelling, unsophisticated politics, etc. Not sure I'm explaining this well
 
Where? I can't find what school he went to or info on parents etc but this 2009 doc says he went to James Madison University in Virginia.

I just googled before I posted because I saw a quote by him saying something like 'jail was ok for me because of where I'm from, Aaron Swartz killed himself because he was posh and he couldn't handle it', but of course I can't find it now. Also another journalist quote that he was 'raised poor' - whatever that means in journalese these days.

Raised poor might just mean daddy only earned $200k a year and they only holidayed alternate years in the Hamptons.

ETA cross-posted.

Next para:

While Auernheimer’s behavior in the past has made internet freedom activists reluctant to come to his defense, the chorus of support is growing. Even Immunity Sec founder and former NSA security researcher Dave Aitel, who has accused Weev of once posting “rape porn” fiction about Aitel’s wife to Aitel’s own site, has grudgingly pointed out that the verdict could be dangerous for the security industry.
 
i think it's an internet thing about people wearing fedoras being mens-rightists, anarchocapitalists or generally unpleasant people.

Tick. I've met plenty of posh northerners camping up their accents in London.

I wasn't saying I'm buying his story, just that that is the story. I can't find any details.
