The true activism is the media that highlights this kind of thing. In college, we had a news story, that a friend had found, pinned to a wall. The story was about a man who had lit himself on fire, in protest of something, but people hadn't realized that he was doing it and his body was only discovered days later. We kept the story as a kind of dark joke, but it highlights, i think, that the effectiveness of a protest is related to how much attention it gets - not what you are doing or why. An extreme action, like self-immolation, that nobody pays attention to, is not nearly as influential as a mild action, like gluing yourself to a protective cover, that lots of people pay attention to. Someone glued themselves to a glass covering. Okay? Did I need to know this? Why is it in the news?
