The newest liberal fad seems to be public self-harm in the name of 'protesting' whatever they think is happening in Gaza they typically refer to as 'genocide.'
Not to be outdone, however, each must find their own creative and absurdist methods of gaining enough attention ... um, we mean, awareness for their cause.
Meet Victor I. Cazares, a NY playwright who has vowed to stop taking his HIV medications until the NY Theatre Workshop calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
No, really.
Can't forget this bit.
Nonbinaries are the new Vegans.
Posing for a photograph on his Instagram highlighted in a Vulture article, 'Cazares stages their own burial on Instagram,' the brave and courageous defender of humanity curls himself up in some random hole he found.
He even gave several funerals to his HIV pills.
No, really.
'On December 1, instead of taking their daily dose of the HIV medication Dovato, the playwright Victor I. Cazares filmed an Instagram video of the pill’s funeral. They burned the small white tablet on a miniature pyre inside a geode their grandparents had brought from El Apache, a mountain in Chihuahua, Mexico, across the border from their hometown of El Paso, Texas.'
The spirit hadn't fully moved him so he apparently tried again.
'They gave their second pill a burial with a flower on top in their parents’ backyard.'
That didn't do the trick either so, one more time.
'The third received a drop of Cazares’s own blood while Lucía Méndez’s “Amor de Nadie,” the theme song of their favorite telenovela growing up, played as the soundtrack.'
How many of us could display such powerful strength in the face of adversity?
No, this isn't somehow, amazingly, a parody.
Apparently outside of NY's trendy queer theater scene, this isn't as profound and meaningful as he'd hoped.
It seems the NY Theater Workshop think's he's nuts too. From the article, 'Since Cazares’s med strike began, the Workshop has turned off comments on its Instagram and blocked Cazares from seeing its Stories.' It continued, 'No one in senior leadership, past or present, would speak for an interview.'
Isn't that the understatement of the year.
What exactly are these activists hoping to accomplish with this self-destructive nonsense?
Do they really think Hamas is going to raise their hand in surrender as Israel puts down all of their guns and slowly walk towards each other to embrace in their shared compassion for this man's sacrifice?
Lunatics.
All of them.
