The choices were go to prison and shut up or kill Palestinians. Shitting on the dead because their suicide is not going to be the spark that saves the Palestinians is kinda fucked. If you don’t agree then that’s fine, but I’m disengaging at this point. Hope you get over yourself at some point and realize people do things based on what they think is right and not if you personally agree with them or not. Go be mad at someone else.
It's ultimately the christo-leftist self sacrifice ideology that we see on display here. These people fetishize the idea of sacrifice even when it accomplishes nothing. It's also telling that Bushnell had just severed connections with a Christian cult. This has nothing to do with respecting the dead and more to warn people not to fucking kill themselves. You can do so much good in your life and it's possible and worth it to live so you can feel happy.
I've also had many many friends kill themselves over the years, as is common for a trans "elder". I'm sick of seeing good people die to no benefit and I'm sick of seeing ideologies disseminated that justifies it.
Maybe there were other options, maybe there wasn’t I don’t know but if someone more knowledgeable knows something I’m all ears. Ultimately whatever ended up happening was going to change the course of their life forever and in the end they chose to end their life in service to the Palestinian people speaking about the injustice they face. It makes no sense to lambast them for it just because it might be in vain.

Sort of tortured binary thinking there.
