I dont personally mind the take that Jesus is a proto-revolutionary.

didnt this literally happen to tens of thousands of people during the white terror or am I tripping
That was the vibe I got from other commenters that havent replied to me. I appreciate you and others have less deranged views on this.
I dont think there is a magic number, I think the hope behind these actions are to inspire to enact more change and to show all human life has value, I think disregarding this as nothing demonstrates a lack of empathy or working class spirit.
You absolutely should be against chain suicides, like any good person is.
‘Chain suicides’ you’re inserting a bunch of nonsense no one has argued for. Lenin absolutely sent people to commit acts of violence on his behalf, and there have been many examples of suicide protest during occupied nazi europe having an impact.
You judge these things as not being impactfull the literal day after it happens, this is ridiculous. Its had enough of an impact we’re sitting here talking about it, this can be said to be more than most are doing.
Because it shouldn’t be copied, by anyone. There were many dozens of people that did this during Vietnam, of similar ages. Did that cause America to stop? No. None of the protesting did. Military defeat at the hands of Vietnamese communists did.
It pressured people to come back to the table, of course it did. Your ignorance of the impact of those protests doesnt make them not impactfull.
‘Inspiration’ and nonsense does not make a change in the world. All it does is add another sad headline, of which there are plenty to be had.
It likely sounds like nonsense because you’ve already accepted defeat.
Material reality. People have done this before for a myriad of causes. Does it stop empire? No. Lenin never said ‘go kill yourself it totally will change everything’.
Marxism isnt a orthodoxy that needs to be followed like a religion, im not going to judge the protest actions of others if it serves to protest a ongoing genocide being comitted by that persons government.
I run a homeless shelter. Thats at least one thing you could do that is far better than killing yourself for a cause. In fact, anything is better.
Firstly, cool. That doesnt change anything about how much you’re smugging over a dead person rather than allowing it to inspire.
Did Bushnell doing this do anything? No.
Says who? You?
The people detracting this as ‘nothing’ are clearly so comfy in there own situations they cant imagine any action, nevermind a strong one like this having an impact.
Thats your problem.
‘lmao’ the libshit says after someone gives there life to stop a genocide
make it england
Id consider that Gomer is meant to be a stand in for the ‘special division’ of draftees; they would literally pool togther the lowest IQ people they could find and put them into units togther.

I think its a clear reference to this, Kubrick was making.
Given that its a reference to a mentally disabled man being tortured and forced to kill against his will, him killing his commanding officer is completely justified.
Nah, they basically split there highest democratic chamber into two, with one half being elected and the other half appointed unelected people to represent UK buisness interests, they have a majority over the elected half.
Also to clarify the small minority of the other half have more voting power than all of the other elected members, to effectively give them a majority.
HK has essentially been a autocratic imprealist state serving the bougie of HK and UK interests since it changed hands to the UK.

As you can see here, they ‘permitted’ HK residents to elect half of the people in the chamber, with them (the UK) retaining control of the other half (while still retaining the deciding vote) and that China actually offers them full democracy, unconditionally.
The founding members of what is reffered too in HK as ‘ExCo’ (with the other chamber usually its ‘LegCo’)
Daily reminder HKs minimum wage is 1 dollar for servants and 5 dollars per hour for workers, they have the highest rent in the entire world yet some of the worst living conditions and historically have only had 49% of there parliment able to be elected, the other 51% is 8 western buisnessmen.
HK separtists advocate for the above because they are the lucky enough ones to be above the slave class and they want this relationship to continue, and for things to remain the same rather than for things to get better via intergation with china, which would give the HK working and underclass access to cheap housing via mainland China, who have 90% house ownership rate vs HKs like 17%.

turns out if you just kill everyone who mentions it no one is left to complain about it, interesting
