Rules TBD.
yes it’s a test of morality and ethics, but claiming it’s “simple” reaches a bit far. there is a whole host of complex misinformation and well-funded propoganda one must evade before coming to this true conclusion.
i agree with your rhetorical goals, i am just certain their are better ways of identifying decent people haha
I mean, we don't all need to self-immolate to be a decent person, but it's like how John Brown became a litmus test in the Pre-Civil War era. Was John Brown right or wrong? Only horrendous people believed what he did was morally wrong. Aaron Bushnell might serve a similar purpose in the modern era.
I don't listen to the news cause I have the big tism. I just read the BBC's report on Aaron and found it quite neutral in tone, though obviously the acts themselves are self-evidently heroic. Can you dish the deets on what lies are being told about him? I wanna hear what the assholes are saying.
Neutral in tone or passive tone?
I think minimally qualifying as "neutral" (if such a thing is possible) would require publishing his words before lighting himself on fire verbatim. Or publishing the video before it becomes graphic.
