He may have been a troop, and a single death is nothing compared to what Israel is doing to the Palestinians, and maybe his action didn't achieve anything, but we are still talking about a human life of someone who got where they are partially due to the material reality they grew up in, and of someone who in the end saw the wrongness in it all. I thus am a bit alarmed that some of the comments' first reaction on here is to insult him.
Yeah that's super fucked up and not to be tolerated.
Well my mom and dad made a lot of money and I've never needed to consider doing something like joining the military or have the audacity to be an ignorant product of my hyper-propagandized crumbling society.
That's why I said that he got where he is partially due to the material reality he grew up in. To me every death is sad even if who died did evil, but that's because I attribute a person's decisions a whole lot more than just "partially" to the material reality. But I wanted to make clear that even if one doesn't share that belief it's still fucked up to react that way.
