Yes, I do. I think we should be like him and stand up for what is right. 100% correct.

It was about creating an in-group and implementing a caste system under the deceptive guise of democracy. What it’s never actually been is democratic or free.

Because I am not going to disrespect a deep and meaningful selfless act like his. I’m not so disrespectful

We’ve failed him, we’ve failed the Palestinians, we’ve failed our immigrants and refugees, we’ve failed our LGBTQ+ people and people of color, we’ve failed our poor. The story of America is a story of one failure after another.

And I say “America” even though this is world news, because he was American.

I’d never presume to be so haughty as to prescribe to another person a form of protest, nor to disparage a meaningful and impactful act like this.

A role model is someone you want people to imitate

Yes

Sacrifices like this should always be super rare. If he’s inspiring others to action, then it should be mass protests (at least), not more immolations.

Imagine gatekeeping protests.

It was a protest against our nation’s complicity in genocide. This was objectively one of the most selfless acts and meaningful sacrifices imaginable. I have nothing but the utmost respect.

Bullshit. You are insulting everyone who’s had a legitimate reason to commit suicide and their loved ones by proxy. Get this puritanical nonsense out of here. I’ve known multiple people who’ve committed suicide, and while it hurts to lose them, they’ve all had valid reasons, and it’s really tasteless for me to dismiss that or guilt trip people who want to check out.

And in this case, it’s objectively one of the most selfless acts imaginable.

Pretty tacky to explain to a person who made such a huge impact what he should have done

Also uncivil to call me a d*mbass for respecting this man. Reported.

Aaron Bushnell is a fucking role model

I wish I had half the courage it took

It takes courage and convictions to do this kind of protest. There’s no need to reduce it to just a suicide. It was a courageous and highly honorable act. I’ve got nothing but respect.

I fully agree. I have mad respect for him, which is why I expressed my admiration and support.

How so? I’m expressing my respect and gratitude in the best way I know how.

This is tiresome and pointless pearl clutching.

I’d like to know why anyone would downvote this. Do you support genocide?

Aaron Bushnell, hero and role model

So if the author’s opinion is correct, then that would not be a good outcome. Do you think they’re wrong?

May I create a South Dakota community? I noticed there’s not one. We’ve got North Dakota, but not South Dakota.

For context, I live in South Dakota.

I feel fortunate because to me what that person described actually does sound enjoyable and satisfying. I will straight up eat handfuls of raw spinach because I enjoy it. You’d be surprised by how many people feel compelled to share their disgust, though, which is one reason I prefer to eat alone.
