TRIGGER WARNING: We have people self immolating because of genocides happening and because people are losing housing. This nation is going down and it’s the greed of the capitalists that’s the cause.

I’m basically in that elderly gentleman’s shoes as far as housing goes. I’m sorry to his family and to him for being pushed into this situation.

Elderly man self-immolates while being evicted.

Housing is a human right.

    Hey I agree with you. I mostly just don’t like the way this tweet is framed without the context of him also killing his dog and putting his wife at risk. I think that’s a very important distinction that should’ve been included.

      Fair, the tweet does lack that context. That does add a bit of nuance and questions related to mental health to the discussion. I apologize for reading too far into your comment, and just assuming that you were attempting to downplay the actions of the police and state in this situation.

        Well I appreciate your reply instead of just downvoting and moving on. Hey look at us being civil on the internet!
