    Like I question his method, but realisticly speaking, you and I wouldn’t be talking about it if he hadn’t.

    And that’s just it. We’re talking about his methodology more than what he was trying to say. And for the government supporting a regime that’s commiting genocide, that is already talked about ad nauseum online. There’s already pro-Palestine protests, there’s groups joining the “Uncommitted” movement—like, his act of self-immolation will be lost among every other act of protest going on.

    Was it extreme? Yes. Was it effective? I don’t think so.

      You are. Because that’s the conversation you wanted to start rather than address his statements. The President of the United States almost certainly read about this event. It’s being covered in newspapers throughout the country. It’s only people like you who is saying it’s meaningless and no one cares.

        I am almost certain nobody will be talking about this next week.

        I do not apologize for accepting cold reality.
