a 25 year old man who was in the u.s. air force recently self immolated outside the israeli embassy. aaron bushnell. i'll remember aaron. how calm, articulate, and resolute he was. an act of crazy courage of a kind i've never had.
i've thought from time to time of the morality of self sacrifice as an act of protest or a desperate attempt to draw attention to issues like dystopia and doom. but that takes some crazy courage, i'm too addicted to staying alive, and it's so so easy to rationalize such thoughts away. easy and convenient.
this is an outstanding discussion! it highlights the courage, compassion, and selfless determination of aaron bushnell without losing sight of the just cause he died for:
