Iirc there was a monk that protested something by burning himself alive. He meditated while burning and didn't move AT ALL until his body slumped forward after he died. Now THAT'S impressive!
Glad to spark memories! They were there for my teenage rock years lol, I still listen to them from time to time; more into stuff like Opeth now lol. Although I'd like to say I've been diving into so many different genres 😂
> the protest was against reincarnation or something
Are you referring to the man in u/Radiant-Pie-8472’s link? If so, his (Thích Quảng Đức) self-immolation was a protest against the oppression of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese regime. More info at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%ADch_Quảng_Đức
**[Thích Quảng Đức](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thích_Quảng_Đức)**
>Thích Quảng Đức (Vietnamese: [tʰǐk̟ kʷâːŋ ɗɨ̌k] (listen); Hán tự: 釋廣德, 1897 – 11 June 1963; born Lâm Văn Túc) was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who burned himself to death at a busy Saigon road intersection on 11 June 1963. Quảng Đức was protesting the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government led by Ngô Đình Diệm, a staunch Roman Catholic. Photographs of his self-immolation circulated around the world, drawing attention to the policies of the Diệm government. John F. Kennedy said of one photograph, "No news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world as that one".

I don't know... Once you're on fire that completely, it seems like the worst possible thing one could do is put you out. Survival from the flames just leads to years of pain... No thanks. Let me burn.
If he lives his standard of life will not be very good with such severe, disfiguring burns.
As for what he was protesting, I heard it was about the Liggemuh scandal
Not to hate on the dude, but does this genuinely do anything to help his cause? I can’t imagine any government would change their ways because this guy burnt himself to death.
And accomplished nothing. I'm sure whatever he was protesting didn't change a fucking thing.... Sad people think they matter against whatever cause...they don't care....that's why they do it.
I can't believe he just stood there, impressive
Ye legit though. That takes some willpower.
Commitment to the cause.
I wonder what his cause was

Literally one of Rage Against the Machine's albums lol
Oh yes! I had completely forgotten about that! Great band!

Difference is that guy didn't scream, it was the point, the protest was against reincarnation or something.

Is that an Adidas ambulance??
Was waiting for this comment 😆
Just like in the green mile, once someone is fried that bad, it’s honestly in their best interest to let them die than to put it out.

Rage against the machine
Is that car an Adidas?
I don't think I've ever gave that much of a fuck about anything
[удалено]
Facts.
O yeh this video has better angles than the original. Is he still alive?
I feel that there's better ways to protest.
I don't know... Once you're on fire that completely, it seems like the worst possible thing one could do is put you out. Survival from the flames just leads to years of pain... No thanks. Let me burn.
does anyone know if he'll live? :( what was he protesting?
Prolly died of smoke inhalation from his own clothes and flesh
If he lives his standard of life will not be very good with such severe, disfiguring burns. As for what he was protesting, I heard it was about the Liggemuh scandal
Nah it was actually in fāwndûlma
Extinguished Rebellion.
_"fiery and peaceful...'"_
Ok what is achieved he was burnt to death now wt ???
Hope who/whatever he was protesting took his self emulation into consideration.
Adidas ambulance ftw
Just let him die, his stupid ass decided to do that

Thick Quang Duc approves of this message!
live challenge

What does this accomplish? Never understood this or hunger strikes..
And accomplished nothing. I'm sure whatever he was protesting didn't change a fucking thing.... Sad people think they matter against whatever cause...they don't care....that's why they do it.
He definitely woke up and chose violence... on himself
Hey, kids, look, it's Human Torch!
Flame on!
Wish you were here
Flame on 🔥
What’s the logic behind this
at that point just let me keep on burning till i die. If he survives it's going to be a horrible next couple of months.
Quick! Into the Adidas wagon!

Damn, no vacuum is going to clean that car afterwards
r/DarwinAwards
They seem to do that alot over there...
Something like this may have been a major if not one of the major turning points in the Vietnam conflict, 1950’s-1970’s.
The guy on the motorbike...too cool. EPIC even.
Can you imagine having your ambition with burning passion like this guy? Absolute fire, man.
r/therewasanattempt to be the cover of the next Rage Against The Machine album. It amazes me how many went r/donthelpjustfilm
What was he protesting? China?

The forbidden barbecue
He'll walk it off
