It's sad this was blurred out. This man chose to have people see him die as the ultimate peaceful protest against genocide.
Sorry...that shit did nothing during Vietnam war protests either.
A rather large portion of the world doesn't give two shits about Russia (or themselves) committing Genocide however they see fit.
This notion that human life even has value comes distinctly from the better nature of western civilization, one we too often fail to honor ourselves.
It is not logical for one to sacrifice in this way for this cause.
It is better to live and act against. To vote so long as we still vote.
Those who side against such violence lost strength from his sacrifice.
Those who endorse it REALLY couldn't give a shit.
Look at Russia, who scrape their people off the streets and throw them at another country to be used as human meat waves - under threat of torture and death. All for the purpose of causing a new Genocide in Europe. To forcibly displace 44 million off their land. And that is current history that is still ongoing. Every day this year, more humans discarded as meat. By a nation MANY nations side with and endorse in this action. China and India. By any account, a majority of the human population fully endorses Genocide for the sake of Genocide. Not to defend oneself, but to eradicate the other.
The Palestinian issue being much smaller does not make it any less wrong. Though the level of violence sparking this current round does throw shade.
Our world is a lesser place when we have fewer people who care, who want a better path. People who could turn opposition into action. If they all immolated, no one would be remain who even cared if the rest of humanity was served up on a platter as fresh meat. And I for one want one of those people to have my back. Someone who cares if we live or die. For, if history is any teacher, we are desperately going to need more of them. For ourselves and our loved ones.
