Anyway, overall, I think this guy is a piece of shit for doing what he did. And anybody who reports him as a "hero" is also a piece of shit.
Also, addressing an issue with what people think of self-immolation as a whole, there's also the potential psychological damage you're causing on random people who unfortunately have to see you burn alive. A lot of people have acquired serious mental damage over things like that. That's why it's not really a "protest of non-violence". It may not be so physically, but some people are definitely being heavily impacted for the worse, just mentally. It isn't not harming anybody. It is only a potential that somebody would be hurt that way by it, sure, but you going ahead shows that you're willing to risk that. Take it as you will.
Next guy.
>he stated fossil fuel use and the environmental destruction it causes as the reason he decided to end his life by self-immolation with fossil fuels.>Most humans on the planet now breathe air made unhealthy by fossil fuels, and many die early deaths as a result—my early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselvesUuuuuuuuuuuugh. This retard.
I really don't know what people like this expect. Did he think that people would suddenly give up fossil fuel because of him doing this? Did he believe that he would raise awareness, somehow? And what would that achieve? Is it really worth his life, and the impact on whoever possibly cared about him? The answer is no.
I have no idea how you think this out for any longer than a minute, and come to any conclusion other than the one of people simply laughing at you if you did this.
How does anybody take some retard who burns himself alive over fossil fuel seriously? How deluded do you have to be to think they would? What the fuck. The funny thing about that comes later, by the way.
