UCLA Psych Resident Wants To Normalize Setting Yourself On Fire In Protest

A man in U.S. military fatigues set himself on fire outside of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. in February, reportedly as a way to protest against Israel and their so-called "genocide" in Palestine. The Hamas-sympathizing death cult took to X to praise Aaron Bushnell, who died from his injuries. "Rest in power!" one person posted. "His sacrifice is now part of the sacrifices of the Palestinian people in its struggle for dignity." He was a traitor and a dipshit. -- This month, two psychiatry residents at UCLA, Drs. Ragda Izar and Afaf Moustafa, hosted a talk in which they argued for the "de-patholization" of self-immolation. They said that self-immolation isn't a sign of mental illness if it's in resistance to colonization, homophobia, and white supremacy.

UCLA medical school’s psychiatry department hosted a talk this month that glorified self-immolation as a form of "revolutionary suicide." We have obtained audio of the talk, which argued taboos on self-immolation serve "the interests of power." 🧵 We are now at the point of institutional rot that top tier university psychiatry schools are reconsidering whether dousing yourself with gasoline and lighting yourself on fire should be stigmatized as a sign of mental illness. And don’t forget, UCLA had to turn down a lot of normal applicants to make room for her.
