Fair enough. I misunderstood what you were talking about. Sure, in theory, an outside party could file an amicus brief or a motion to intervene. But so far, no outside party has expressed any wish to be involved in his disaster of a lawsuit, and I don't anticipate that changing. The idea is borderline ludicrous.You seem to be confused about either some legal terms, or, alternatively, what we are talking about.
Let me break it down:
1. A pro se litigant can file an amicus brief
2. This is not representing anyone in court.
3. A pro se litigant can file a motion to intervene.
4. This is not making someone else appear, this is asking the court to let you become a party. No more, no less. It's different than the non-legal meaning of the word "intervene"
5. Yes, a pro se litigant can only represent himself, and literally no one argued that this is not true.
I also don't know why you are focusing on Russ so much. Neither the original question, nor the followup answer said they were talking about Russ. The original question heavily implied it was not, and the followup answer specifically mentioned "non party"
Russ, however, wants to bring all these "victims of Kiwifarms" before the court. And no matter how much Russ wants to, he can't. The court would have to disregard it; it's irrelevant to his case, prejudicial, and he doesn't have standing. They'd have to bring something, and they aren't.
Even what's-her-face pretty quickly noped out when Russ asked her to provide an affidavit.
Also, it's a persistent issue with pipsqueak. He tried to file that one lawsuit with the hooker as a co-plaintiff and quickly got shot down that time because he didn't have standing and she wanted no part of it.
