yeah y'know our culture is so afraid of simple little things like skinning a human alive and making a suit out of their skin that we immediately jump to labeling it as "mental illness," when in fact it's possible that person is more sane and lucid than all the rest of us

The dude is totally reading this thread. 

Dunno if he genuinely thinks this a good take that to this thread.

White guy cures people’s blindness and brings freshwater to poor African villages 


White guy sets himself on fire saying “free Palestine”  

[Polident]

Thing is these vultures will never take action themselves. They see themselves as important to the cause as thought leaders. They’ll groom the distressed, mentally ill, dispossessed, juvenile, etc into being fodder.

The silver lining here is the era people are too stupid and repulsive to attract let alone convince anybody.

[Nintex]

Do not forget the bravery of this man and his actions.

This post is comparably horrifying. I see little difference between this and pro-terrorism propaganda. You should not encourage the creation of martyrs no matter what your cause is. Hopefully this thread is locked soon because I don't see a positive conversation being possible at all here. 




I feel for the gentleman and his family. May he find the peace he was unable to find in this life.

I see little difference between this and pro-terrorism propaganda.

Then you are politically illiterate. 

Aaron Bushnell was not a terrorist. He did not want to be complicit in the genocide of Gaza.

Disingenuous bitch.

[Nintex]

How would he be complicit in the genocide if the US hadn't been involved in the bombings or the war?!?

HERE-A WE GOOO

[DocWager]

Next time somebody creates a suicide thread the mods better encourage them to do it, but make sure to mention they are doing it for a “Good Cause”.

…And there you have it, the perfect political martyr!

[Nintex]

It's only February, the Russians have yet to take Kharkiv, Trump has yet to be nominated and ResetEra is already at the "If you want to make a REAL difference set yourself on FIRE" phase.

[Boredfrom]

I just love that I need to take seriously assholes that bitch about Legend Of Korra not being political accurate to the real world.

We're getting closer to the 'internet madman shoots up place in somewhere, America' news story about Resetera

The other forms of protest people mention haven't done anything. It's why, rightly or wrongly, people take it to this extreme. It's a final attempt to be heard, to effect change. Immediately discounting it as mental illness is to invalidate their desperation at having no other means to do so in a system actively complicit in genocide.

Yes more fuel to the fire

[Nintex]

I'm sort of waiting for the disabled to chime in angry because they can't set themselves on fire and rest in power like the rest of us.

They don’t remember somebody already did this in December. That’s how little they actually care.

And here I thought RE deeply cares about plagiarism. That Chinese companies plagiarize without abandon is well known. One might even argue that it's simply not considered as big of a deal in Chinese culture https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/ip-plagiarism-is-rampant-in-china-and-media-companies-profit-from-it.html

Truly cult like behavior. Woooooooooow… I was totally right about this months ago. I should play the lotto today!

[Nintex]

No, I'm expecting people not to equate Bushnell with the US and answer the question that was posed. The question was how he as a US citizen was complicit.

I found funny the absurdity of a vile failure of a person has found validation in a video game forum by being an opinionated shit poster. 

I think is sadder how are just two or three people willing to say “you are all scum”. Complaining about mental illness not being taken seriously while having a shit poster outright “pills and shrinks just lie to you, man”. 

Is more repugnant because is clear to me that Nepenthe is fully aware that she is crossing a line, and she is so scummy that is wording carefully everything she is saying.

[Nintex]

You benefit from it, its like white privilege

[Hap Shaughnessy]

Anybody who voted for genocidin' Joe Biden is complicit.

I don't want to derail this thread into a discussion of whether or not suicide is acceptable, specially not any more than it's already been derailed, but I legitimately don't understand posts like this.
If your first reaction upon reading this story is to simply shout SUICIDE BAD and end your thought there without having enough empathy to understand the reasoning behind why Aaron did what he did, I dunno what you tell you.

It's like some posters have an extreme averse reaction to the entire concept of suicide in general and I don't get it at all.
Nobody in this thread is endorsing what he did or is saying it's good that he died. We just have enough respect for the man to understand the reasoning behind why he did it.

The simple fact of the matter is that it already happened and we couldn't have prevented it.
How do we fix the root cause that led to this?

[Besticus Maximus]

It's like those 9/11 pilots, objectively, when you think about it

I also think that Dril ISIS tweet is kinda gross. In hindsight maybe they were fighting for the right thing.

[kaleidoscopium]

God these people are now worshipping a suicidal self immolating retard, and it’s only February in an election year. 

This year is going to rule for content on there

Kerosene won't work very well. You should use gasoline.

[kaleidoscopium]

He had the right to end his own life, just as we all do, and he did it in service of a cause he cared about. Choosing an end to one's life is not exclusively the domain of the severely mentally ill

Again, this guy lit himself on fire… 

It's not normal, but self immolation is not correctly identified as suicide. It's a political act.
If someone wants to die there are many paths available that are not the most painful death imaginable.

Almost as if he was….. mentally ill!!!
