    All I know was some guy killed himself. I don't know why. He didn't communicate his "cause". But if he had....it would have no impact or staying power.

    Yeah, probably. I mean, kinda don’t want to die a climate refugee.

    It’s not a one or two move kinda deal. It’s a little here and a little there and people will eventually come across a big wave of social change. It wasn’t the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson that set the city ablaze. It was the racial profiling of the police that started the process. Same with the Arab Spring. One man set himself on fire yes, but it was also the decades of corruption that finally did Tunisia in.

    And yet you might be curious to find out why. So you will probably look it up.

    Well...I don't think he died for a cause. I think he just wanted to end his life. I did look up to see if he was some sort of extremist weirdo type. But he didn't leave much of a footprint and nothing strongly activist.

    He protested for the environment by setting a fire?

    It's insanity. It's like a person gets mad at you because you would not let them merge into traffic, by cutting the line in front of you. So, to retaliate, they purposely drive off the road and total their car, and promise to never drive a vehicle ever again. They accomplished nothing except hurting themselves. Even if someone did take notice of what they did, they'll just think that person is nuts.

    Let's say someone is upset at what i said, they can rage quit this forum and never post here again. Same thing, no one will care if you do harm to yourself like that

    Left wing activism claims another life. The liberal ideology is a cancer on society.
