“This Is What Our Ruling Class Has Decided Will Be Normal”
On February 25, we received an email from a person who signed himself Aaron Bushnell, announcing an act of protest against the genocide of Palestinians.
"but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all."
This guy gets it.
This is probably the best coverage of such a tragic event.
Wow one guy sets himself on fire for palestine and the world loses it minds but the tibetans do it all the time and noone bats an eye.
I didn't believe you, but one search told me otherwise.
"as of May 2022, 160 monks, nuns, and ordinary people have self-immolated in Tibet since 27 February 2009" ref.
Your take should still consider the differences in these issues and the prevalence of Israel v Palestine in western media and why that might be, instead of sounding butthurt a dude's sacrifice for something he believed in worked somewhat. If it makes you happier it's probably gone with the next news cycle.
I have considered why one is far more prevelent its simple really china makes us fat and rich and in the western world we dont want to think about how our cheap shit based consumer economy is powered by chinese slaves working for a country committing genocide.
And i dont really have any opinion about israil palestine (dont try convince me of either side please) just find it interesting that stalin really was right 1 death is a tradgedy a million is a statistic.
We should definitely be batting more eyes in general
Thats a bit like saying everyone should be smarter. Its a great ideal but unfortunatly the majority of people arw morons.
Can we have our own protest but on site and with guns? Anyone have a boat?
