    “I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers—it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

      Please don’t NSFW it, mods. This is akin to an Emmett Till open casket, I’d argue, with apologies all round, but good fuming Christ this photo we all really need to look at.

      That’s what’s going ok there. THAT’S why people are protesting everywhere. Just for a second we gotta not look away

      Is the image real? Why would you record the situation instead of helping or running away to save yourself? Or maybe, it’s surveillance footage…

        Here some reason that might help

        • If you don’t, people will refuse to believe you saying “health ministry runs by hamas”
        • You are not expected to help someone on fire because you yourself may burn as well.
        • Never blame the victim instead of the killer.

          Was so obvious… It took me like 5 minutes to think about how to write the question to not hurt anyone… I even provided an alternative explanation… But nope… Someone is triggered anyway.

          In the age of generative AI, I think, it should be allowed to ask the question. If the source site was CNN or similar, I wouldn’t ask the question. But I don’t know the source site.
