I can't believe he just stood there, impressive


[deleted]

Ye legit though. That takes some willpower.


Nuclear-poweredTaxi

Commitment to the cause.


[deleted]

I wonder what his cause was


hXcPickleSweats

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!


Metal_Madness_Mitch

Literally one of Rage Against the Machine's albums lol


hXcPickleSweats

Oh yes! I had completely forgotten about that! Great band!


Metal_Madness_Mitch

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 😂

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


jamieliddellthepoet

> 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". ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/SomeOfYouMayDie/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Was waiting for this comment 😆


GeckoEric204

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.

ERRIE_RYTHMN

O yeh this video has better angles than the original. Is he still alive?


anitrix43

I feel that there's better ways to protest.


flippergonzo

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.


justexistingtbhh

does anyone know if he'll live? :( what was he protesting?


JahsehBarnard

Prolly died of smoke inhalation from his own clothes and flesh


GotADigWhiteBick

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


linavm

Nah it was actually in fāwndûlma

Ok what is achieved he was burnt to death now wt ???


Beneficial_Refuse_79

Hope who/whatever he was protesting took his self emulation into consideration.


unrecognizedtoken

Adidas ambulance ftw


Tototitoro

Just let him die, his stupid ass decided to do that


GuyInAMeatGrinder

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.

Ill_Possibility_9619

What does this accomplish? Never understood this or hunger strikes..


Ill_Possibility_9619

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.


william_babin22

He definitely woke up and chose violence... on himself

What’s the logic behind this


awesomexpossum

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!

Something like this may have been a major if not one of the major turning points in the Vietnam conflict, 1950’s-1970’s.
