In a video, Matt Nelson said he would set himself ablaze "to stop supplying Israel with the money and weapons it uses to imprison and murder innocent Palestinians" and "to pressure Israel to end the genocide in Gaza."
He set himself on fire to raise suicide awareness? I thought it was about the Palestinians… Pretty sure everyone was already aware of that situation. In any case, it’s incredibly sad and I don’t support it.
The people who need help are the ones who can sit by and criticize people for their opposition to a genocide.
It’s not some silly game. Our lives are not more meaningful than Palestinians, this is awful, but it pales in comparison to what we are putting Palestine through.
For some people, not taking any action they can to try and stop the genocide, no matter how hopeless, is worse than death. When the pain becomes unbearable…
This man is a martyr and a hero, and he didn’t kill himself, the US and Israel killed him in the name of their genocide.
People are “brave” enough to put a shotgun in their mouth and pull the trigger too. That’s not worthy of respect, it’s the symptom of a disease. And we’ll all rest the same way, since the afterlife is a bronze-age fairy tale.
Unbelievable that someone would be brave enough to do this. Respect… rest in peace.
No. I refuse to glorify suicide. Anyone thinking of setting themselves on fire needs help. This is awful.
And yet here we are talking about it. Like the whole goal might have been?
Oh great, you got to talk about something on the internet. That made someone dying worthwhile.
A person killed himself and some internet ghouls think it’s a good thing.
Some people think suicide is quite romantic.
What’s the point when all day erryday we hear about the war anyway?

He’s a man who, in a less dysfunctional society, might have gotten the mental-health treatment he needed. He’s neither a martyr nor a hero.
Oh yes, he fucking did. And Netanyahu cares as little now as before this poor suffering fool offed himself. The grand gesture accomplished nothing.
To each their own

Idk its their life to do what they want with it.
