CMV: Setting yourself on fire or murdering yourself for ANY cause is pointless and stupid. It is not brave nor heroic.
Post Body

People are so worried about violence these days. Disagreement is violence. Misgendering is violence. Peaceful words are deemed to incite violence. But when a disturbed anarchist offs himself publicly in one of the most violent ways possible, it is lauded as bravery. He committed an act of supreme violence against himself. And it accomplished nothing except getting himself notoriety. It did not raise awareness of a cause. That cause already has the attention of the entire US. Those who applaud him are practically encouraging other disturbed individuals to mimic him. THAT is the kind of speech that is dangerous.

Violence can be brave

We often associate bravery with danger and violence

Being a soldier is brave, standing up to a criminal is brave, speaking out against violence is brave etc etc
