      Damn dude. This guy stood up and protested about something that meant something to him, and you’re busting his kneecaps because it wasn’t soon enough.

      The fuck have you done lately?

      No one is ever going to be perfect. The least you can do is be happy that some people are legitimately trying to take a stand against the IDF’s genocidal actions.

      Could be too young to remember Iraq.

      Anyway, shut up. He literally lit himself on fire. I think that makes up for it.

      We all should try to be as brave as him.

      One could almost be tricked into believing that the world is a little bit more complicated than what some simplistic tropes of good and evil would have us believe.

        LOL one thing that makes conservative-minded people very sad is when you assert that there is no such thing as objective good or evil.

      “Americans don’t care when they’re bombing brown people!”

      This happens

      “There must be something exceptional about these brown people, or else my broad assumptions about all Americans being racist warmongers might not be right!”

      Boomers aren’t in charge anymore, that’s what happened. Gen Xers are aging in place and Millenials are starting to take over.

      Also what have you ever done to make the world a better place?
