I cannot thank you enough for your work. This piece in particular, right now, in print and as a video, is absolutely vital. Lucid, eloquent and a genuine expression of the moral seriousness whose gaping absence in our society you target with deadeye precision. The late 20th/early 21st century history of self-immolation as a profoundly altruistic, sacrificial expression of legitimate moral despair has indeed been forgotten or buried or both. I'm tempted to ramble on, but won't. You know what you wrote and why. All I can do is thank you for a dose of palliative antidote for hearts poisoned by a steady drip of pure toxic mendacity.
Thank you for the kind words. More people need to know the stories of these self-immolators. As Chris Hedges wrote, Bushnell’s sacrifice speaks to our better selves.
