And here I thought my bit yesterday about liberals saying that Bushnell was attacking a police officer was in poor taste. Literally IMPOSSIBLE to parody.

She said if we see anyone self-immolating we should report it to the non-emergency FBI tipline. Which rocks so much. Perfectly functional brain right there.

Protest

Sorry, not trying to be a doomer. It's just hard to understand where we can go next when every avenue of expression seems like a dead end of vapid takes that get more attention than anything real and meaningful.

smuglord "the definition of terrorism is 'using violence to meet a political end' therefore he's a terrorist. Yes, the violence was against himself and he stated his albeit nonviolent intent"

I think suicide protests are okay as long as they're not murdering innocents. Self-immolation has been a way for the unheard to cry out to those who won't listen for millennia. It lays bare the contradictions of empire.

Hard to call this "suicide attack" when nobody else was hurt.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Or more to the point, he didn't even try to hurt anyone else, and there's indisputable video evidence proving it.

A coworker of mine said Bushnell didn't respond to commands from the cops, which is inherently harmful, he said. The pigs were shouting "ON THE GROUND" to a person on fire and burning to death

[-] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago

Not obeying a cop is more dangerous than a cop pointing a gun at you I guess.

This coworker also once said America needs South Africa style apartheid

[-] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

which is inherently harmful

Holy shit I'm dying. That's the most brainworms take I've ever seen. Even if you're fucking burning to death you have to obey the cops or it's "harmful".

On a little more serious note, some people actually have no critical thinking skills and it makes me deeply sad.

I don't think suicide protests are ok because they're useless

[-] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

There is no way of knowing that.

As far as I'm concerned, the best courses of action for US Military members in order are 1) commit treason (godspeed) 2) quit the military and use their social status as former military to advocate against imperialism and 3) exactly what this guy did. There are probably other options, too.

This article has a list of famous self-immolations. Some of them were quite effective. I will concede that there are many more fruitless self immolations that didn't make this list, however. https://time.com/6835364/self-immolation-history-israel-hamas-war/

[-] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

if i were the cia id be spamming the airwaves with how great self immolation is so all the leftists would kill themselves

all of these instances of 'self immolation helping' had material circumstances that were already volatile. the idea that the immolation itself did anything is absurd, and all youre doing is encouraging vulnerable people to kill themselves

[-] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It won't do anything significant to change politics on Gaza, but it will magically convince a significant percentage of leftists to follow suit? Doubt.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

its well known that suicides cause chain reactions of suicides, especially among vulnerable people

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

People over here are too shocked to notice that, they don't want to believe the guy that set himself on fire died in vain

Depends. This guy in particular is probably the most perfect candidate for the act and he’s received the most media attention out of anyone who’s done it in the past idk 10 years or so. Maybe something might come of it or maybe not.

Wouldn't be surprised that this is some hollow climber who wants a media/politics job pumping their personalized brand image full of liberal soylent.

There is no way someone can in total good faith be this unashamedly fucking heartless and stupid. No way.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
