This is not a logical response to world events.
Feb 26th 2024

I can protest or speak on war..
Feb 27th 2024

no its just mental illness

Yep
Feb 26th 2024

      his last social media post
Feb 26th 2024
12
           It doesn't have to be either/or.
Feb 26th 2024
13
           I meant I want to see where he was getting his information
Feb 26th 2024
14
           I think you trying to frame this as an act of empathy is dangerous
Feb 26th 2024
19
           Explain why this is illegitimate
Feb 26th 2024
20
                I didn't say a protest is illegitimate. I said this form of protest.
Feb 27th 2024
39
                     Yes you did
Feb 27th 2024
42
                          I'll clarify using your language.
Feb 27th 2024
82
           I am not the gatekeeper of empathy, I got three responses
Feb 27th 2024
89
I don't like assuming he's crazy
Feb 26th 2024
8
      Co-sign!!
Feb 26th 2024
10
      But he was crazy. And he didn’t sacrifice anything.
Feb 26th 2024
21
           you're using the act alone to determine whether he was crazy or not
Feb 27th 2024
30
           crazy , yes but.. uh a bit of a sacrifice on this part
Feb 27th 2024
31
                Not only was he willing to die
Feb 27th 2024
34
                     there is a question here that can't be answered
Feb 27th 2024

Self-immolation in context
Feb 26th 2024
5
Norman Morrison is a more apt comparison.
Feb 26th 2024
6
And why was that particular Catholic in charge?
Feb 26th 2024
7
Obfuscation would also be distorting his explicit reason, no?
Feb 26th 2024
9
      No, it's just imprecision
Feb 26th 2024
17
      Or, put another way
Feb 26th 2024
18
           Fair.
Feb 26th 2024
23
                So how about hunger strikes?
Feb 26th 2024
24
                     Sure. Self-harm comes in many forms.
Feb 26th 2024
27
                          I think you're avoiding the question
Feb 27th 2024
35
                               No, you've just drifted away from the topic.
Feb 27th 2024
41
                                    I don't agree that's the only topic
Feb 27th 2024
43
More eloquent a response than was deserved but thank you for it anyway
Feb 26th 2024
22
Were the folks who killed themselves in Jonestown crazy?
Feb 26th 2024
16
      Is a gang banger crazy for dying over his block or gang affiliation?
Feb 27th 2024
36
      being in a gang or the army/combat isn't suicidal though
Feb 27th 2024
47
      its suicidal to get into a shootout over a tag
Feb 27th 2024
50
           but their intent is not to die
Feb 27th 2024
53
                Are we really sure their intent is not to die?
Feb 27th 2024
64
                     generally, yes
Feb 27th 2024
69
                          to be clear, I asked if a gang banger WHO DIED over a color is crazy
Feb 27th 2024
75
                               and that's not suicide
Feb 27th 2024
78
                                    I didn’t ask if it was suicide.
Feb 27th 2024

Feb 27th 2024
40
           Not disingenuous at all. I 100% believe there is no difference.
Feb 27th 2024

Feb 27th 2024

                As Walleye mentioned, what about hunger strikes?

134
                          exactly. he seemed pretty convicted in his thoughts...
Mar 01st 2024
135
                               So the fact that he commited suicide is evidence he had no regret once
Mar 01st 2024
