    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.

            That’s unfortunate

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

                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
