Fucking idiots, if you're willing to go out self immolating, might aswell go for sabotage, given your access. It's one thing when you're a Buddhist monk dedicated to pacifism, but if you're a soldier you don't have that excuse
What a weird response to someone literally killing themselves in an incredibly excruciating and visible manner in an effort to do something. You dont know what this man had access to or what he reasonably could have done. The American military, as evil and genocidal as it is, is not the body carrying out the genocide of Palestinians, Israel is. America is complicit and we are funding them, but theres no way to know if this man had any access to relevant personnel or any higher officials in the US gov. And theres no saying as to whether soemthing like a scuttled jet in some Air Force hanger would make an ounce of difference in Palestine (and this is assuming this guy could have carried out sabotage on that level alone, which is a long shot).
As awful as it may be, the suicide of a service member may be more effective than any other thing he could have done. Propoganda can be, if properly utilized, a far more useful and effective tool than adventurism and individual acts of violence.
let's all self immolate ourselves for Palestine, see how that will go. Better yet, let's start the revolution by all collectively killing ourselves, that will surely make the bourgeois feel sorry about us and just go down. You know the problem with what he did? he wasted his life for NOTHING, this self immolation just like the past few self immolations done for Palestine where the easiest things that the western propaganda swept under the rug, So what if he's a soldier? they'd just wipe it off as a "he was mentally insane, this is all due to male loneliness" nonsense
All would've been better options than self immolating.
What is the difference between this act and adventurism? atleast sometimes with adventurism a fascist dies.
How. Literally how. What could that have accomplished? Explain please
And I spelled out the difference between this act and adventurism. We can turn this into pro-Palestine propaganda, adventurism will be turned into Israeli propaganda.
Something more than self immolation, and there's a hundred things he could've done instead of just wasting his life.
You are so naive to believe that the self immolation won't be turned into pro israeli propaganda, easily spinnable as a cult thing... we're talking about a genocide over here the mfs we're dealing with are funding bombing children in Gaza they see the same videos you and I see of kids crying, of ambulances being shot, of parents losing children and children losing parents, do you seriously think that a person setting himself on fire will nudge them? No the only way for them to feel anything is to be hit in the pockets to make this genocide not worth the money they're losing. What benefit will this bring to the Palestinian cause? A tragedy? Comrade if someone's heart felt nothing for people being kicked out of history for 75 years, they'd feel nothing about a soldier killing himself, it just means they won't have to pay him his salary anymore.
Ok so you dont know what to do either.
