So uh in not-as-disturbing-but-infuriating-and-yet-unsurprising news, apparently Marge added an amendment to the Ukraine funding agreement regarding a conspiracy theory pushed by Orban and the Russian information network:

Yeah there’s no loving way that the CrossFit Tantric Sex Gorilla, who infamously is one of the dumbest politicians in the GOP, happens to know or care about the supposed plight of Hungarians in Transcarpathia. This lady is a goddamned Russian plant and it’s insane that Congress isn’t kicking her rear end out immediately.

Trans Carpathia? Sounds like a woke Ghostbusters 2

I'm thinking that, in this case, the human torch was fairly inept. Both in political and incendiary actions.

So the trump-loyal set of facts is
* Trump actually won the 2020 election and Biden stole it illegally.
* Totally Peaceful and Cool 1/6 protestors have been locked up and oppressed by the FBI.
* The legal actions against trump are crooked and baseless because obviously trump could do no wrong, it’s not like he’s a slimy businessman or anything. Also, this means the justice system is fake and bad.
* The Bad Guys are trying to keep Our Guy out of the white house through litigation, witch hunt, if he isn’t reinstalled by 2025 democracy is dead.

If millions of people believe this set of facts at least a few of them will go violently insane and it will be entirely logical from their point of view.

i just watched the replay on the AP live feed

don't ever ask the NYCPD to put you out lol

a cop sprayed him down with an extinguisher, then went over to put out the gasoline container, and didn't notice that they guy was still smoldering and started burning again, he's laying there on fire again, and no one is even trying to smoother it with their coat or anything

At one point a lady entered the park area abd started unhelpfully screaming "put him out" as the subjects legs continued to burn.

It might have been the case that the first fire extinguisher ran out of retardant, but that's because the cop tried to extinguish the gas canister after the person.

Self immolation: super effective.

Protests rarely "end" whatever it is they're aimed against, but they can and do influence the course of events and alter people's perceptions, which might lead to change down the road. Stopping a war or whatever with one act never happens, it's a slow process that every act of protest and resistance gradually builds on, just like acts of violence and provocation can slowly build toward the opposite. The world is more complicated than "A leads to B leads to C"

Yeah but when I go to a protest and don't set myself on fire I can keep protesting instead of being dead, and the movement will likely gain or lose the same amount of momentum regardless of self-immolation incidents, going by historcal self immolation effectiveness.

I do not have any difficulty imagining him standing there brandishing a sheaf of printouts of news stories of the guy on fire, using them to prove how popular he is and how he should be let off

This is true, but when it expectedly does not work, Trump will 100% move on from the incident to the next thing he thinks will give him TOTAL EXONERATION

"My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan.

This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery:

We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup."
