I wrote about the libidinal tendency for my generation to make sacrifices for victims of struggles that they have never felt. Not before the end of the month, Air Force serviceman Aaron Bushnell burned himself to death in protest of the Israeli occupation of Palestine. “Let his death inspire you to live, with your whole being committed to the cause of justice for oppressed people.”Bushnell’s death was broadcast live on the streaming platform Twitch. Liberals will take this opportunity to call leftism a “death cult.” We know better — there is no greater celebration of life than community. So then you learn not only by reading but by experiencing humanity — hence, Grace Lee Boggs lives out a fulfilling life of service and activism in Detroit.
