It's obviously sad and very disturbing, and should be the kind of thing that wakes people up. Unfortunately, the US media is very careful on downplaying/misreporting self-immolations, even though in theory it's the type of macabre story that they'd capitalize on.
Soon from the US media: "We need to ban all images from Gaza so young people don't hurt themselves!"
“We must accelerate the development of the empathy-disabling brain chip”
I think it’s treated similar to suicides where giving them certain kinds of publicity causes a predictable uptick in suicide rates. How it took them so long to start applying the same standards to mass shooters, I’ll never know.
Remember when they had kill ranking boards for mass killers on CNN? Like it was a contest?
No I don’t. What the fuck?
