          Nope. But we’re gonna keep doing it anyway, and calling this guy crazy because it’s easier than admitting that we are all culpable.

            You are in no position to determine my degree of culpability, or that of anyone who’s not pulling a trigger.

              If you want to pretend that we live on a sane planet, well, when on Earth, do as the Earthlings do, I guess.

                I’m saying killing yourself over US actions isn’t a sane move. You brought up global warming in reply as if that meant anything in this discussion.

                  I’m saying killing yourself over US actions isn’t a sane move.

                  And I’m saying that no product of this barking mad oblate spheroid is qualified to make that assessment. But dismissing him as insane is a great way to not have to treat his rebuke to humanity as the just condemnation it is.

                    He did covered himself in gasoline and light that up as a form of suicide. It does sound a bit insane.

      That’s tame in comparison to the genocide he is protesting.

      What’s nuts is you attacking the man who was killed by the US support for genocide, rather than continuing to attack the US genocide.

      If you disagree with his form of protest against the genocide, fine, ignore it and go do your own form of protest.

      What’s the point in criticizing him? Make yourself feel better?

        I’m encouraging others not to waste their lives, when they can accomplish far more by staying alive and engaging.

        But if you want to torch yourself and refuse to get professional help, I can’t stop you. Just don’t encourage others to emulate your disordered thinking.

        More immediate cause was probably all that burning gasoline he poured on himself. What a waste

            You’re trying to blame the US for some suicidal man killing himself. Idk, I’m not a fan of suicide overall.

                That’s unfortunate

                  That’s unfortunate

                  It’s unfortunate that you would rather attack a man for the way he opposes a genocide than move on and oppose a genocide yourself.

                  You can’t support him because it would support his truth that we are all culpable, and you can’t face that reality.

                  And yes, it is America’s fault he has genocide on his conscience and felt compelled to go to such measures, he is a victim of America’s genocide. Was Hitler just suicidal in that bunker? Or do you recognize that external actions can influence such things in that case, and just choose to remain ignorant in this one?

                  Would you like me to be pro-suicide.

                  I would like you to be a sympathetic understanding human being opposed to genocide, who even if they don’t agree with this man’s actions themselves, recognizes the context they exist in and focuses towards the true goal of opposing a genocide, rather than attacking a righteous martyr.

                  But that’s a tall ask for Americans in the core of the genocidal imperialist project, unfortunately.

                    If the way of your protests is suicide then yes I’m going to “attack” that protest. Bazillion other ways to protest that don’t involve literally killing yourself.

                    But that’s a tall ask for Americans in the core of the genocidal imperialist project, unfortunately.

                    Btw I’m not American, hopefully you didn’t assume that. There’s life outside of the US you know, we exist
