Ukraine flag bios and having the most dogshit opinions possible, name a more iconic duo.
two flags for that extra bit of support; would have gone to three flags but can't afford it right now
if only those TREASONOUS TRUMPISTS would stop blocking congress we could get 3 flags up there to really show Putler
And here I thought my bit yesterday about liberals saying that Bushnell was attacking a police officer was in poor taste. Literally IMPOSSIBLE to parody.
She said if we see anyone self-immolating we should report it to the non-emergency FBI tipline. Which rocks so much. Perfectly functional brain right there.
[Scolding a burning body] "Sweetie, if you really want to LIGHT A FIRE, send a message at the ballot box. Toodles~"
I wish I could find the image again, I remember a good shirt that had a molotov or a brick labeled 'vote' and a flaming police car labeled 'ballot box'
someone is burning alive and screaming in agony
: Calling paramedics to save their life.
: Reporting the incident to the FBI, good job citizen, you're doing your part!
Everything is dead.

Sorry, not trying to be a doomer. It's just hard to understand where we can go next when every avenue of expression seems like a dead end of vapid takes that get more attention than anything real and meaningful.
There's always been people who ignore the meanings of things when it is inconvenient for them, and there always will be. Doesn't mean it's a dead end just because some people choose to be willfully ignorant.
On an individual level, yeah. But look how many retweets or re... X's? These idiots get. It's not just your idiot buddy, it's an idiot influencer who gets more eyes on their stupid take than anyone here ever will

What do you mean? This is the funniest thread I've seen in a while.
The brave officer was forced to sweat a little in his all-black uniform due to the heat of the flames, he is the real victim
"the definition of terrorism is 'using violence to meet a political end' therefore he's a terrorist. Yes, the violence was against himself and he stated his albeit nonviolent intent"- "yes i know by that logic every single armed force that ever existed can be classified as a terrorist organisation, but its only 'political' when they fight back against an oppressor you see... Did I mention how much I fucking love science?!?!?!"
I fucking love science?!?!?!
translation: "I watch youtube shorts where they do science things, i dont know what they're called but they're such science!!!!"
I think suicide protests are okay as long as they're not murdering innocents. Self-immolation has been a way for the unheard to cry out to those who won't listen for millennia. It lays bare the contradictions of empire.
Hard to call this "suicide attack" when nobody else was hurt.
Or more to the point, he didn't even try to hurt anyone else, and there's indisputable video evidence proving it.
A coworker of mine said Bushnell didn't respond to commands from the cops, which is inherently harmful, he said. The pigs were shouting "ON THE GROUND" to a person on fire and burning to death
Not obeying a cop is more dangerous than a cop pointing a gun at you I guess.
This coworker also once said America needs South Africa style apartheid
which is inherently harmful
Holy shit I'm dying. That's the most brainworms take I've ever seen. Even if you're fucking burning to death you have to obey the cops or it's "harmful".
On a little more serious note, some people actually have no critical thinking skills and it makes me deeply sad.
your coworker sounds like somebody prone to accidents
the piece of fucking shit cop was yelling him to get to the ground while he was already ON the ground, barely clinging to life
There is no way of knowing that.
As far as I'm concerned, the best courses of action for US Military members in order are 1) commit treason (godspeed) 2) quit the military and use their social status as former military to advocate against imperialism and 3) exactly what this guy did. There are probably other options, too.
This article has a list of famous self-immolations. Some of them were quite effective. I will concede that there are many more fruitless self immolations that didn't make this list, however. https://time.com/6835364/self-immolation-history-israel-hamas-war/
if i were the cia id be spamming the airwaves with how great self immolation is so all the leftists would kill themselves
all of these instances of 'self immolation helping' had material circumstances that were already volatile. the idea that the immolation itself did anything is absurd, and all youre doing is encouraging vulnerable people to kill themselves
It won't do anything significant to change politics on Gaza, but it will magically convince a significant percentage of leftists to follow suit? Doubt.
its well known that suicides cause chain reactions of suicides, especially among vulnerable people
People over here are too shocked to notice that, they don't want to believe the guy that set himself on fire died in vain
They don't always cause a chain reaction. I'd have to read a study to find out the exact percentages.
Regardless, what you said above is unproveable. There is no contrafactual situation in which the Thích Quảng Đức self immolation in Saigon didn't happen. You cannot say with certainty it had no effect. And that's just the direct effects.
The knock-on effects of people questioning the US empire after that image of the monk on fire became widespread are impossible to calculate.
the fact that you cannot measure the effect and that the ultimate price is someones life makes it completely not worth it. honestly, i find you completely reprehensible and disgusting for continuing to defend this, im done here
all youre doing is encouraging vulnerable people to kill themselves
That’s a little out of hand I think.
How is it not? They are arguing that suicide is useful for political ends, particularly in the case of self immolation. The logical conclusion is that more people should do it
I will concede that there are many more fruitless self immolations that didn't make this list, however.
But they didn’t.
They're arguing that this one is good and the context is right, though. That means the context can be right in the future
Depends. This guy in particular is probably the most perfect candidate for the act and he’s received the most media attention out of anyone who’s done it in the past idk 10 years or so. Maybe something might come of it or maybe not.

"What the hell distorted way of viewing the world do you have to have to come up with opinions like this?"
"Oh..."
I love the double Ukraine flags here.
"How can I make people know how much I Care About Ukraine?!"
"I could put the flag in my profile, but that isn't enough...wait, what if I put two flags?! That way everyone would know I'm the Person Who Cares The Most about this important issue!"
ukraine flag in bio: bout to read some stupid shit
two ukraine flag in bio: bout to read some stupid shit squared
Indistinguishable from neocons. Does she have a National Review subscription
His convictions scare her so much that she needs to defend her position even if it is just posting.
this has to be a fed account no real person does this right im dreaming right
Praise be to his Holiness St. Bhagavan Shree Matt Christman, large adult prodigal son
Liberals try not to get dumber by the day challenge: impossible edition (they're getting dumber by the second)
Wouldn't be surprised that this is some hollow climber who wants a media/politics job pumping their personalized brand image full of liberal soylent.
There is no way someone can in total good faith be this unashamedly fucking heartless and stupid. No way.
.... probably the same tho.
