A guy literally self immolated on the steps of the Supreme Court in the name of climate change and it was barely covered. Anyone who is getting riled up over these glue stunts has lost the plot. Don't look up!
- cwkoss 4y agoWhen did that happen?
- kingTug 4y agoAbout 6 months ago. It barely got one day of coverage from the media. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/24/us/politics/climate-activist-self-immolation-supreme-court.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/24/us/politics/climate-activ...

- cwkoss 4y ago"Those self-immolators are so selfish" is a heck of a take.
- drak0n1c 4y agoSuicide when done for notoriety or self-righteous fundamentalism can be very selfish. He traumatized those who witnessed and cleaned up after him, put his pain on those who now grieve him, and stochastically inspired other mentally vulnerable individuals to act out. All because he had an unshakeable belief in his pessimistic worst-case-scenario viewpoint being the absolute truth of how the world is and will be. Is that not irresponsibly self-centered?
