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.

    The guy probably felt as if himself, wife, and dog were better off dead than being homeless.

    Fun fact, this is the thought process of most family annihilators. They, for example, lose their job and feel like it’s better their family be dead than suffer the embarrassment of losing standing in the community, or get caught cheating and feel it’s better for them to be dead than suffer the embarrassment of divorce.

    There’s nothing really useful you can do with that knowledge, but it’s been floating around in my brain since I learned it and now I gift it to you.
