IF YOU TAKE IT ALL TOO SERIOUSLY IT VERGES ON BEING IDIOTIC

why do I see people acting like Aaron Bushnell's self-immolation in protest is particularly disturbing? I know we have all seen nearly limitless physical violence inflicted on Gazan people's bodies and none of that at any point appeared to generate this level of absolute handwringing theatrics. This is not a good look for many people.

PhDs in missing the point here

some of you are so fucking stupid you reverse the very logic this man tried to demonstrate with his very sacrifice. "People only care because it's some white guy" show some goddamn respect. By "handwringing theatrics" I mean the backflips people are doing to tag his protest and slap it with 12 thousand "trigger warnings" and waxing about suicide. You are doing consent manufacturing suppression for the feds for free. You are feeding the chosen narrative of mental illness whether you want to or not, and you are doing it completely unpaid. "It's so horrific, don't watch" no please do. He was an extremely courageous young man. And the fact it particularly disturbs YOU is the point.
