Same poor souls are feeling so hopeless about the genocide that they are burning themself alive. Meanwhile politicians and billionares are laughing and feasting.
But we gave Palestine a table to sit at in the UN! /s
I wonder if the cops threatened this guy with their weapons while he burned to death like they did that other poor soul.
Some poor souls are voting and forgetting. Weep for those who will die prioritizing their comfort over justice.
This is the
secondthird one. Here’s the second:On February 25, 2024, Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old serviceman of the United States Air Force, died after setting himself on fire outside the front gate of the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C. Immediately before the act… Bushnell said that he was protesting against “what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers” and declared that he “will no longer be complicit in genocide”
OP’s article not only discusses Aaron Bushnell but also points out that this is in fact the third.
Holding a Palestinian flag, a female protester also self-immolated outside an Israeli consulate building in Atlanta in December, in what US police described as “an extreme act of political protest.”
Edited correction. Thank you.
The fact there have been two is astounding to me. Im sincerely interested in the psychology behind this.
The US being complicit with the genocide of Palestinians led to both…
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
When a revolutionary speaks truth and justice to sheep they hate them for it. The sheep want the convenient, short term comfort of bandwagon safety. They’ll readily sacrifice their shallow moral and ethical principles to defend this feeling. They’ll viscously attack all who disturb it.
Some of us commit our lives to the fight for future lives of dignity. Some communicate with words, some with actions, and many with both. But, words are increasingly meaningless: Our semantic appropriated, reading comprehension taking a nose dive, attention spans less than a minute, human communication itself corrupted in capitalization of technology.
Aaron Bushnell killed himself to communicate with you. It’s not horrific. It’s what’s necessary.
And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men … trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love … but they had the strength … the strength … to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, then our troubles here would be over very quickly.
Revolutionaries without a revolution to join. It’s, ultimately, our failure to be get organized.
Man, dude burned himself alive and I bet most have already forgot the whole thing. Fucking hell.
Finally, a method of protesting that truly reflects the situation.
This kind of protest only works if the political class possess empathy, instead of being the most corrupt and narcissistic puppets the plutocracy can muster.
I wonder why they aren’t sympathetic?
It’s for the people.
Pointless waste of life. This doesn’t move the needle at all.
I’ll wholeheartedly disagree with that.
But I still wish it wouldn’t happen
