      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

          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.
