having viewed the video now, i initially found myself surprised i was not more horrified. my best guess as to why is this - what seemed most notable to me was his apparent sanity and intentionality in making this choice. he chose the where and when of his death and intended it to matter.
The uncensored video is here as well: https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616102/shock-us-air-force-airman-sets-himself-on-fire-to-protest-israeli-palestine-war/
The comments on the video are actually more horrifying than the video itself. How can a human watch another human suffer like this and be happy/laugh about it? They're wishing that others would do the same just because they think differently from them? Do we even have any hope left in humanity anymore?
That comments section is such a dumpster fire of what I hope are bots and not actual human beings... Because damn, otherwise, Giant Meteor 2024
They are angry sounding. I wish there was giant meteor.
Ugh, I hadn't even noticed the comments until you mentioned it. I avoid the comments sections on most "news" sites because they're almost universally dumpster fires if they're not properly moderated.
Edit: although Giant Meteor 2024 definitely sounds like a winning ticket.
"law enforcement drew guns at the burning man" 💀
God damn, this is brutal. I watched it and it gave me absolute chills. The world won’t forget this man’s bravery and sacrifice, even if the media doesn’t cover it.
Oh the country will forget. By Friday there will be something else.
There's going to be some big presidential debate drama. Bidens going to forget to wear socks or Trumps going to go tanning again... The important stuff.
Wanna bet?
We won’t forget.
