In a video, Matt Nelson said he would set himself ablaze "to stop supplying Israel with the money and weapons it uses to imprison and murder innocent Palestinians" and "to pressure Israel to end the genocide in Gaza."
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.
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
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.
I mean dude did kill himself by setting himself on fire. That’s pretty nuts
I mean, we’re kinda working on that as a species as well.
And would you call that sane?
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.
Wash those hands, Pilate.
Friend, come on
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.

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

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.

Would you like me to be pro-suicide…? That’s whack
