Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
I feel like self immolation is a psyop to keep people from adventurism. Cause like this is depressing depressing.
Self immolation in the Imperial Core is an expression of profound helplessness, and speaks to the utter inability of the left to provide those people with a comprehensive ideological framework.
The U.S. State has done such an effective job of destroying revolutionary movements that those who could be drawn to a clear-headed Marxist perspective cannot find purchase; there are no revolutionary organizations that are not captured.
Blame Trotsky and the New Left I suppose (after you blame the State for the murder of the Black Panthers and the original BLM leaders).
TL;DR - Imperial Core collapse in slow motion
There's literally nothing for people to do. If you do adventurism you get denounced as a fed and the state uses it as an excuse to strengthen itself. If you immolate yourself you get denounced as a fed and news of it widely ignored. If you try to join a group the group is denounced as feds and the state uses the group existing as an excuse to strengthen itself.
We should probably stop fed-jacketing people with zero evidence
