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..

This "stop Trump or democracy is over" thing is so goddamn flimsy that I don't know if anyone, no matter how mentally ill, would willingly put themselves through any discomfort at all in order to defend it

Even those who honestly take that slogan at face value do not feel at all moved by it, except to performative tears... no lib would ever do any kind of violent or hurtful direct action like that, because this slogan is not about life or death, as was the case with Bushnell and, mistaken and ill as he might have been, with this man. It's all about feeling comfortable and undisturbed.
