real talk, did Caitlin Johnstone pen the most embarrassing blog post of all time with her over the top post mortem fellatio of the crisped commie?

She wrote at least three of those lol. Which one specifically?

I'm not sure how online you are, but "A profound act of sincerity" instantly reminded me of the "An hero" Mitchell Henderson myspace obituary meme from 2007.

She keeps talking about how it forces eyes on the war in Gaza. The thing is, it really only gets eyes on the airman. I don't think the suicidal protest is really connecting with anyone other than a small subset of leftwing twitter that obsesses over Israel (people like Johnstone)

She actually has good essays occasionally. When it comes to Israel though, she makes it clear that she's mentally ill. I mean that in the nicest way possible.

I just looked up the "an hero" thing and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Thank you. And yes I'm talking about the Xitter "profound act of sincerity" post where she claims that the world will never be the same after what really amounts to a few hours of content for the overly online set.

As to her other output, she's ok sometimes. Her problem is that she's one of those "George Bush is still president and it's still 2005" type liberals that are good on some issues (COVID overreach, being antiwar) but seriously off the mark for others (it's all the corporations mannnnn, etc). It's clear from her writing that she's severely depressed, is a slave to her emotions, and has a chip on her shoulder.

I agree, it seems he believed in his shallow mimesis without understanding he is not and was not connected to a real community with real relationships he had cultivated and that this would be a sacrifice or martyrdom instead of pure suicide playacting. The action without the essence.

Don't kill yourselves, it is cursing the gift of life you were given.

speaking from the point of view of someone who just lost a friend to suicide, you really have no idea how much of a shambles you will leave behind. Don't do it
