Aaron Bushnell and the Burning Guilt of America

Middle Nation · 27 Feb 2024 · 7:12 · YouTube

Well, when I saw Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire while shouting free Palestine, I saw the most dramatic expression imaginable of white guilt. Western guilt and the complete inability, how to figure out how to atone. How to right all the wrongs that that so called civilization has committed and is committing. The flames that consumed Aaron Bushnell are consuming the entire society internally. And unless they change, the whole society is on the path to self destruction.

And yes, symbolically America will burn itself on the steps of Israel just as he burned himself at the Israeli embassy. A much more revolutionary act, a much more useful act obviously for Aaron Bushnell would have been if he had gone to the Israeli embassy and stood in front of that embassy and declared Shahada. That would have been the complete disavowal of the sickness and the moral incoherence and confusion of the West. And an embrace of the pure fitra. I mean so many people have come to Islam since October 7.

Because on the one hand they witness the savagery and the hypocrisy of their own so called civilization and on the other hand they see the faith and the nobility of the people of Gaza. The courage and the resilience and the patience of the Muslims. And that's a patience and a resilience, and a courage that comes from Islam. But it seems that mister Bushnell, could not ultimately extricate himself, from the twisted mentality of the West. I mean, don't think that it was just Gaza, frankly, that was weighing down on him.

No. It's the entirety of western and American history. It's the realization that you come from a people, who have brought innovations to evil, who've been unique in their advancement of corruption and brutality. The West and America have achieved levels of deformity in the human psyche unseen in human history. And as a so called civilization, they have added new disgraces to mankind that shock us as a species.

And again they've not given their people the tools for how to cope with any of that. They don't know how to cope with what, they themselves have done, with what their society has done. I mean I don't know if, Aaron Bushnell was a Christian, but Christianity and Christian thinking permeates their society, permeates their way of thinking. So you have this idea of dying for the sins of others, or sacrificing yourself as an an act of absolution, know. Redemptive self destruction and so on.

Combined with the deeply entitled and supremacist savior complex. You know, this idea that a white man's death may be powerful enough as a sacrifice that it will do what 30,000 Arab deaths could not do. This is all from the moral gibberish of western society. This is what you're doing to your people. Bushnell is a tragic testament to the depths of despair and desperation that can grip a soul, when it's faced with the insidious forces of white supremacy and Western imperialist.

Soul that wants to be right, that wants to do right, but has no idea how to be that or how to do that. I think that there's tens of millions of Aaron Bushnells in America and in Europe. They're burning internally by guilt and confusion, and by the hypocrisy of their society, and by their own hypocrisy. And very few of them ever, can figure out a healthy way to deal with it. More often than not, they use that internal, fire as a flamethrower, and externalize their own unbearable moral apoplexy as aggression and hostility.

It's that cognitive dissonance that I keep talking about, you know. The fact that what you say about yourselves bears no resemblance to your actions, and the fact that you have never really learned how to act differently. How to actually act in accordance with what you say about yourselves. Well this causes severe mental fissures. It's absolutely, fracturing to your mind.

You can't help but see that what you're doing makes you contemptible. But you have a need to believe that you're praiseworthy. So how do you reconcile that when you continue to act in a contemptible manner, and when you don't even know how to not act in a contemptible manner? The whole country, you know, the whole society is perpetually suffering a stroke morally. And again they always revert to violence, to destruction.

That's always the answer, that's always their solution. It's a society whose base code was programmed by Shaitan. So all roads lead to destruction. It's rigged. It's putting people in a pit, and then telling them that the only way out is by digging.

Meanwhile, there is a ladder that you can climb up to get out of the pit, and that's Islam. But their programming has taught them to think that that ladder is a trap. I said that, Bushnell's act smacks of white supremacy and a white savior complex. The idea that somehow his suicide, would have more value than thirty thousand out of deaths. Well, look at the reaction.

Do you know anything about the attacks that happened in Gaza yesterday or you only know about this man setting himself on fire? I mean granted his self immolation is newsworthy as a supposed act of protest, but still the fact is that his death carries more weight in the West than thousands of Palestinian deaths. Even to some extent it carries more weight among some Muslims and Arabs who are bewildered and, in my opinion unsettlingly appreciative of him murdering himself. And there's this battle of the spins going on online with one side saying that he was mental and one side saying that he was a saint. So what white people do, what westerners do continues to fascinate everyone and this is symptomatic of the whole problem.

I would say that, Bushnell setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy symbolizes the fate of western so called civilization. He's all of you. The flames of the evil that your society has inflicted across the globe are consuming you. I said from the beginning of this wave of the genocide that western civilization, is gonna be buried in the rubble of Gaza. Zionism is the lighter fluid that you've doused yourselves with, and you yourselves are now flicking the lighter to set yourselves on fire.

Just like with Aaron Bushnell, there is another way. Just as he could have livestreamed his conversion to Islam at the gates of the Israeli embassy, you should do that too. You should do that instead. I mean, would love to see that become a movement in The US as a result of what this man did. Let people go to the spot where Bushnell staged his suicidal protest, and instead of destroying themselves, save themselves.

And one by one, you might just save your society.
