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.

Obviously society needs to have a good look at itself and how people are getting holed into despair.

That aside, this fad of crisping oneself makes no sense to me. There are far less painful ways to go about it.

The pain is part of the whole deal. Just offing yourself isn't enough to get attention anymore.
