    The Arab Spring was started by a self-immolation in Tunisia. If there’s any form of protest that matters, this is it.

    Self-immolation is the one form of protest that matters to you? Your answer to leftists being inactive is to get them to kill themselves?!

    It also showed the people struggling on the ground in Gaza that we aren’t all heartless monsters in the West

    Literally doing what?

      It’s the only protest that has ever accomplished anything. Point me to a single act of protest by any person in history that has ever accomplished as much as self-immolation.

      Ask the PFLP and Hamas. They’re the ones that actually praised Bushnell and honored their sacrifice.
