People have set themselves on fire and it didn’t change a thing. More effective measures seem appropriate. It needs to affect the people responsible.
“Why I virtue signaled and accomplished nothing except my own humiliation,” should be the title.
Pretty much every sitout non-voter there.
Cool, how many bombs did the hunger strike stop?
Oh…
40 day fast
So this isn’t a hunger strike. This is weak-ass bullshit that—as you can see—did little more than thoughts and prayers. She got an article. Great. An actual hunger strike ends in death. It’s a time bomb. It gives the other party time to decide if they want to let you die.
And before any of you cry about what I’m “doing,” name a single thing I could do to end the war in Gaza and I’ll go do it. Otherwise shut up.
You could use the immense amount of privilege you have (being in the top 3.5% of people in the world with food, water and electricity) to lobby your government. And if you’re feeling so inspired as your angry clearly shows, why don’t you run for government yourself.
Go touch some grass instead of criticising someone doing something

Considered lobbying the government as a single human. Went to work instead since I cannot dine on privilege and need to eat.
Your math is wrong sweetheart. You are angry that I was born into a country that currently is on top. However, As we have noticed that is quickly becoming not the case. I had nothing to do with that.
I understand your anger, but it should be directed at her and not me. She is literally doing this for a headline. I would be happy to make a friendly wager that she attempts to make money on this by doing speaking engagements or perhaps writing a book.
Did you read enough to know that she was participating in a group organized “hunger strike” (whatever you want to call it, idrc) and that she was arrested for her protesting? Lmfao if you’re just gonna sit around and do nothing about it, then at least keep your mouth shut, too.
I don’t really see why any of the people in power would care if this person had starved themselves to death. I don’t understand what the perceived leverage was here.
Exactly. The was none. It’s just dieting for genocide, how much more American can you get?
We are exceptionally good at performative bullshit that accomplishes nothing.
Gotta do something with that performance art degree I paid 200k for 😂
