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.

At this point I'm only responding because it's perplexing (and admittedly somewhat affirming) how angry this has made some of you. And how weird it is that you're giving me attention, while in the same breath accusing me of needing attention.
Honestly? Because i don't lie to myself. We both get off on attempting to annoy people, but perhaps you are uncomfortable admitting it. My personal targets are trolls, people just like you, that i feel need a good lesson in humility.
Sometimes it works, sometimes i get a funny response. Sometimes they're unreachable, or at least pretend well enough. and i think youre probably that second one. I won't get the response that will satisfy me, so ill just find someone else that ll scratch that itch
