TRIGGER WARNING: We have people self immolating because of genocides happening and because people are losing housing. This nation is going down and it's the greed of the capitalists that's the cause.
I'm basically in that elderly gentleman's shoes as far as housing goes. I'm sorry to his family and to him for being pushed into this situation.

Elderly man self-immolates while being evicted.
Housing is a human right.

Eviction caused a mental health crisis which resulted in self immolation (you can also insert any negative outcome at this point).
You have invented a "hierarchy" of cause and effect that is backwards.
The correct order of operations is: Event happens that forces a mental health crisis in an individual, which can have various results (sometimes immolation).
Some people with mental health issues may be in a near perpetual state of mental health crisis. This is the only type of situation where you'd be correct and anything could be a trigger. This is absolutely not the standard, but you assert that it is, which is why you are wrong.
