Is self immolation a legitimate form of protest?

No, unless you are protesting intelligence

If someone is willing to burn themselves alive to make a point... I'll give them 60 seconds to convince me.

I don't know who's dumber, the monk, or the retard who tried to save him.

>Durr I'll just run towards someone covered in a flammable liquid and holding a lighter that's a great idea

Sure. Though loosing your life in the process doesnt really help.

I don't know if it ends up getting the point across. Best case scenario you get something cool-looking that will end up on a black metal album cover.

I think he was helping him by lighting him on fire.

Rage Against the Machine had this on a major label album.

>>132576660
For some reason I thought for sure it was on (((Geffen))) but I guess it was actually on (((Epic)))

It is if you're black or a leftist.

what was his name

Death by burning is very painful death.
I don't know how people do it.

seems to work for some people.

when Monks do it it is far more dignified though. they sit in absolute stillness while they are being burnt. it causes an eary sort of feeling like "well. that guy was a bit of a bad ass wasnt he?"

but when some random nig starts himself on fire and then runs around trying to put himself out you cant help but think "bit off more than you could chew there didnt you dumbass?"
