me when i make a knee jerk reaction post instead of researching a topic
#Kathy Change who is remembered through songs and plays and an annual memorial?#Siripur Yadaiah and Eshan Reddy who self immolated for the statehood of Telangana which was granted a couple of years later?#Mohamed Bouazizi whose death sparked the Tunisian Revolution?#Thích Quảng Đức whose photo is the most famous case of self immolation like ever?#i dont think the act of self immolation should be encouraged#but to say 'that's never done anything' is flat incorrect and extremely ignorant.#at least try to research something before you act like this#the history of self immolation as a practice is ancient and had many different purposes.#there were THOUSANDS of self immolations to protest against US involvement in Vietnam#many recent self immolations are acts of pure desperation#why would you denigrate them all like that when you have no idea what you're even talking about???#its one thing to be aghast at the action because of course its shocking and obviously its going to cause upset#but this was a DEEPLY ignorant take.#op
