Yes, and how is turning yourself ON FIRE related to a constructive solution to the problems in the Middle East?
I hear your point but I’m not buying it. Sounds like fear to me. I think people should do ALL KINDS of shit EVERYWHERE. Not fit themselves into some kind of rational frame of “what makes sense”.
I’d guess it’s not what “makes sense” that sparks revolutions, it’s the real crazy stuff.
Setting yourself on fire is an ultimate and devastating personal sacrifice, not a bratty lashing out at random stuff. No comparison. However, once you set yourself on fire you can’t help anybody anymore, ever, so it’s still a bad idea.
Gluing yourself to things has proven to be a failed strategy. Everybody just makes fun of you. It’s humiliating and does a disservice to actual activists.
