The Embassy no, but dead Americans… Yes…
Far more than Hunter Biden cocaine fueled antics.
I guess they are kind of comparable. I would argue most people could care less about Hunter Biden though. But I’m sure neolibs will blame it on that instead of Biden actually being unpopular though.
Based on what I leaned from the article about his final message, the protest wasn’t for Israel’s sake, it was to draw those living under the rule of a government’s attention (whether Israel’s, the U.S.'s, or wherever else’s) to the situation. To point out that we are indeed living through a genocide perpetuated by our own government. Like I question his method, but realisticly speaking, you and I wouldn’t be talking about it if he hadn’t.
And maybe nothing will ultimately come of it, maybe it was a desperate act against his own powerlessness to stop it.
I would argue self immolation is a pretty powerful statement though, you weigh everything you are, everything you could be; against the hope that a message takes off somewhere.
