The self-immolation, the most non-violent form of protest, no longer works. After Aaron Bushnell that I have heard about, there ware two more attempts that I didn’t. (Matt Nelson and Samuel Mena Jr)

Recent events have shown us that violent protest still works, but it got me thinking; When was the last time someone resigned from position of power due to social pressure?

I have this hunch that shame worked in the past, but now PR departments and relentless pursuit of money has removed social acceptance from an equation.
