One of the most horrifying videos on YouTube that appeared in my feed this week was that of US Air Force airman Aaron Bushnell immolating himself just outside the Washington DC Israeli Embassy in protest of the genocide in Gaza. Evidently, he had received orders that he would be assigned along with other US military personnel to assist the Israeli Defense Forces in their so-called war against Hamas. As he stated in his video, he preferred to take this extreme step rather than be complicit in genocide. He was only 25 years old.
Rest in peace Aaron. You are a hero. I hope that your action draws more support in the US to end this heinous slaughter of the indigenous Palestinians by their genocidal oppressors.
Tomas is coping with avulsion reallyyyyy well. yup.
May Aaron rest in peace. His values and the legacy he leaves behind is one of humanity. Society has failed, to the point where we must go up in flames to request a natural obligation such as freedom.
what the fuck who wrote the wikipedia page for Aaron Bushnell?!?!? what the fuck is misleading and polarizing about his statement????!?!
I simply cannot understand how so many USians can sit in terrible traffic every day for their commute and not become like, radicalized public transit advocates.
Like I sat in a 3-hour jam on I-95 once, and it made me so mad I was writing a letter to the editor about how we desperately need to increase train service along the East Coast Corridor, and then I got involved in a petition to get it to happen. (And it did, we got a piddly ONE train run added, we had been pushing for 9)
But like while I'm doing all this, literally millions of USians wallow in this shit every day and do jack shit about it. Like seriously, WTF?
You do realize that if even 10% of people who sat frustrated in traffic jams daily wrote all their reps to increase public transit funding, the US could become like a transit utopia. Like how we once used to have a coast-to-coast rail network going even to small towns. We could have that and then some, what with all the modern technologies.
Do you really hate yourselves so much that you'd rather just sit in that traffic and do nothing about it, just suffering and making everyone else suffer with you?
