    Yeah I just watched the video and I just gotta say massive fuck you to all the people who shit on this dude or just write him off as “a troop.” He opens up the video and says he’s about to engage in “an extreme act of protest” but “compared to what people in Palestine have been experiencing at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all” and then lights himself on fucking fire.

    If you watch that and don’t have even the slightest bit of empathy or think that he is not in any way a comrade, there is something wrong with you

    Yeah he shouldn’t have joined the military, yeah he shouldn’t have killed himself, but jesus fucking christ people that just makes it more tragic.

      Seconded. Anyone who watches that and doesn’t have some empathy for what he’s trying to do, to bring attention to the victims of Israel and the US, is seriously fucked.

        people this is a video where someone burns himself to death, please only click it if you are like, okay with making the decision to see that. If you want to watch him talk and not see him die, he puts the camera down before he, y'know, does it. I'm not trying to upset people by sharing this, but I do think it is important that the video is available

        I found it in this article linked here

        direct link to the post on twitter I’M TOO LAZY TO REMOVE WHATEVER SHIT THE FIRST SITE MIGHT HAVE ADDED TO THE LINK, I’M NOT A NERD TRYING TO CLEAN YOUR REFERRALS

        it is not extremely visually graphic since it has been blurred, but you can definitely hear the agony, so

          Jesus Christ maybe it’s cuz I just did my estrogen injection but I’m fucking sobbing

          It’s fucking horrible to see a man driven to this point by guilt in complicity

          God we must end this genocide or be judged without remorse for our sins

            It’s not just you :(

            I saw the news hours ago but it finally hit me and I can’t stop thinking about it or sleep

            I haven’t even seen the video yet

            Shit is so fucking bleak no words can express how fucking bleak it all is

            I’m really sorry if I should have maybe just PMed the video the the other person, I thought about it, but I thought that it would be better to not like, hide it? idk. but yeah. I blamed it on being on a little adderall but same, I was tearing up the entire time, and I was already upset just reading about it

              Please don’t feel guilty. I am not scarred, I have seen this before. Thank you for sharing the video. I would rather have him in my memory than not. Plus, it’s not like the video is unlabeled or without a description that can be read before clicking the link. It’s more hard to process the pain I get from empathizing with his mental state tbh

          Shout out to the cop who just kept pointing their gun at him as he fell to the ground. Just in case he was going to jump back up as a fast zombie or something.
