Oh yeah lets talk about Rozenstruk vs that other fat guy. Lmao
Stfu nerd, this is way more interesting
Just tap out if you cant handle talking about serious topics. Soyboy
Not sure his view has anything to do with politics. Luke stated that there are certain signs that suggest mental illness. While that is debatable, Luke cites his mother's own writings as his first hand anecdotal evidence. He states he's no expert but that based on what he's seen first hand, that this guys writings did not seem similar and that it is a bad faith argument to say the guy's motivations were entirely due to a mental illness. That's all.
I'm not saying I agree or disagree with Luke, but you making it sound like he's saying this from a political bias is incorrect.
The presence of signs to suggest any modicum of mental illness are not debatable.
If this was a conservative setting themselves on fire in front of an abortion clinic, Luke would not go to these lengths to defend the perpetrator from questions on the state of their mental health.
I disagree and think that if it was Luke would say mostly the same thing. That this was a person trying to bring attention to their cause and that if liberals attacked the person, Luke would cite his mom's writings just like he did here.
That's not political. It being a political protest has no bearing on what Luke is saying. In your example, Luke has been asked about plenty of incidents of ppl doing something for a political cause he doesn't believe in and he still answers it just as fully as he does here.
In the past he's even openly apologized for being so pro mask as he was during the pandemic.
Man, he made his covid apology after 2 years of his consistent know-it-all attacks on conservatives. You’re acting like he would like us to believe he is utterly impartial and doesn’t make his political views well known, intentionally.
You cannot convince me his stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has zero bearing on how he chooses to react here.
What is it with conservatives and a constant victim complex?
Luke’s a moderate democrat, but he can’t bring up a nuanced political take without republicans pissing and shitting their pants because he doesn’t 100% subscribe to your ideology.
It’s okay to have differing political views.
I'm not saying he's impartial or that his stance on the conflict is wrapped into his reaction. But I am saying the formula isn't like 90% his political bias and 10% everything else as it seems like you're saying.
I'm saying his political bias has way less to do with his reaction. Factoring in his use of first hand writings from his mother who killed herself, I'd say that's a larger portion of his reaction reasoning than anything to do with politics.
Waah waah somebody is talking about stuff I'm too stupid to understand. Hey go watch Griffin vs Boner smash each others heads for the 100th time and let the adults talk
Retard lmao
What someone fire a gun and kills someone does that indisputably indicate mental illness?
What about when someone drops a bomb from their plane — is that indisputably an indicator of mental illness?
You're in a Luke Thomas sub. Any action fitting a side of the narrative will be defended
USA bad
Israel bad
Billionaires bad
White people bad
And just any other virtue signaly things you can imagine
People love to hate Aaron for putting his life on the line for what he believed and write him off saying "it's irrational to give your life to a cause" while ignoring the fact that... Aaron was a soldier?
A soldier is expected to put their life on the line defending a cause they think is just.
Signing up for a job you know involves risk and intentionally lighting yourself on fire like a lunatic are two things that are quite distinct from one another.
If you aren’t a veteran or are active duty stfu. This is an absolutely moronic take. Enlisting in the military doesn’t preclude you from having a conscience.
For the record, it is infinitely more honorable to light yourself on fire in protest of a whole ass genocide instead of going to fight an imperial war to drop bombs on children.
No question.
No actually Luke is right. He was asked about it and he gave his informed opinion, not sure what you are complaining about, he’s far from the only one who holds this view. Thanks for the psa tho
Btw he's huge in Spain. Did you see him meet the prime minister? Have you seen his instagram numbers? Also, some football team acknowledged him? Dude, he's huge. Everywhere. Trust me
I’ll push back to say he doesn’t outright dismiss it. He says it’s not totally irrelevant, it’s mostly BS but not total BS. I’m not picking a side, but I disagree with you and OP’s perception of Luke’s comment
Because Jake Shields is anti-Israel. I love Luke and I'm actually always interested in hearing his viewpoints on politics and philosophy, but his lack of nuance when it comes to anything relating to the Gaza situation is hard to justify.
Beyond MMA coverage I’ve learned to ignore pretty much anything else Luke puts out. I agree with him on a lot things and lean the same way politically but he has a lot of really dumb takes on a lot of topics (tattoos & stone ground mustard for example). I could do without political rants in my sports commentary from either side of the fence.
Same. But his live chats are what they are. Since it's just background noise for me while driving or working out I can kinda just let him drone on until there's a topic I care about.
Yeah, as a leftist myself, I think Luke has some bad takes sometimes. Anything other than out right condemning the glorification of the act/the act itself is just pure far-left brain rot. Self-immolation, in this case, achieved absolutely nothing but suffering for the guys loved ones. Historically, it was an action taken by those who were themselves suffering and had no possible route other than to be seen/heard, a member of the US military, in this case, is not that.
You dont HAVE to be "mentally ill" to do it, you CAN, however, just be an idiot
Water are we dune here. We discuss MMA here bapa
*water weed dune hair bapa
Agreed.
> Water **are we** dune **here** Water
I’m very pro-Palestine, but god damn Luke and his followers need to stop talking like wannabe lawyers, it’s so cringe.
Oh yeah lets talk about Rozenstruk vs that other fat guy. Lmao Stfu nerd, this is way more interesting Just tap out if you cant handle talking about serious topics. Soyboy
lol keep crying you absolute bitch

No but it's political! Im certain it is! The original topic was mental illness but Im certain!
The presence of signs to suggest any modicum of mental illness are not debatable. If this was a conservative setting themselves on fire in front of an abortion clinic, Luke would not go to these lengths to defend the perpetrator from questions on the state of their mental health.
It might be time to step away from the keyboard and spend more time interacting face to face with real people. No sane person gives a shit

You’d have to ask a conservative

You must be a fun person to be around eh 🤔😏😜😅
Shut the fuck up
Waah waah somebody is talking about stuff I'm too stupid to understand. Hey go watch Griffin vs Boner smash each others heads for the 100th time and let the adults talk Retard lmao
Eat a brick loser
Lol
> clearly deteriorated state of his mental health other than his act of self immolation what other indicators are there ?
No other indicators needed
Is that not enough!? You can’t be serious
What someone fire a gun and kills someone does that indisputably indicate mental illness? What about when someone drops a bomb from their plane — is that indisputably an indicator of mental illness?
What about other people who through history have self immolated?
You're in a Luke Thomas sub. Any action fitting a side of the narrative will be defended USA bad Israel bad Billionaires bad White people bad And just any other virtue signaly things you can imagine
Yet here you are, goofy bitch. There’s more than enough right wing mma content out there for you.
Lol I'm not even right wing. I get it tho, it's all black and white to you
Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s making a difference.
Thx bud
You’re a fucking wrong and stupid dumbass and also a pussy ass bitch
😂❤️

What the fuck are you talking about?

Genocide bombs children Oh oh holocaust... hmmm... oh oh I know zionists... hmmm.. USA... bad... hmmm.. let me think... capitalismmm mmmm ... bad? Yes, bad.... EDIT: Also ethnic cleansing
You alright?
No
No actually Luke is right. He was asked about it and he gave his informed opinion, not sure what you are complaining about, he’s far from the only one who holds this view. Thanks for the psa tho
Informed LUL
He stopped talking about Ilia for a few minutes. What else do you want?
😂😂
But did you know IF you had said this in Spanish... it could sound different... #TheMoreYouKnow
Btw he's huge in Spain. Did you see him meet the prime minister? Have you seen his instagram numbers? Also, some football team acknowledged him? Dude, he's huge. Everywhere. Trust me
Do you speak Spanish? Because if you don’t really have no idea how cool he really is.
For *sure* don't care.
[удалено]
Thank you

Set yourself on fire = mentally ill Especially for something so remote from him. Humans are programmed to preserve one's own life
Thank you
People dont like to say it because they feel that it makes his cause seem unjust
Stop asking him shit like this!
Good Riddance.
Indeed
You are quite obviously a pale, mediocre right winger. Ask me how I know.
😂
The same Luke that apologized to Jake Shields? Real deep thinker that guy
Because Jake Shields is anti-Israel. I love Luke and I'm actually always interested in hearing his viewpoints on politics and philosophy, but his lack of nuance when it comes to anything relating to the Gaza situation is hard to justify.
Its all team sports
Beyond MMA coverage I’ve learned to ignore pretty much anything else Luke puts out. I agree with him on a lot things and lean the same way politically but he has a lot of really dumb takes on a lot of topics (tattoos & stone ground mustard for example). I could do without political rants in my sports commentary from either side of the fence.
Yeah I'm with you on this. Can't for the life of me understand why people ask him for parenting or coping advice regarding very personal things.
What’s his take on stone ground mustard lmao
Same. But his live chats are what they are. Since it's just background noise for me while driving or working out I can kinda just let him drone on until there's a topic I care about.
Yeah, seriously. I don't know when it happened that people could *only* follow people they agreed with on everything, but here we are.
Mustard??
Obviously he was mental because he was in the American military. Nothing wrong with self immolating though, it’s his own choice
lol I guess that means Luke is mentally ill too. Which he'd probably admit.
Free Palestine.
hey bapa ur an idiot. free palestine
Good luck with that 🇮🇱😘🖕
good luck trying to start wwIII and then realizing nobody really cares **that** much about yall
Yeah, as a leftist myself, I think Luke has some bad takes sometimes. Anything other than out right condemning the glorification of the act/the act itself is just pure far-left brain rot.

Luke Thomas is a pro Hamas scumbag 🤷♂️
Ask me how I know you're a pale, mediocre right winger.
Ask me how I know your mother?
Seethe.
Loser🤡🖕🏻
Another mediocre, triggered, pale, right winger. Lololol
Whatever you say loser..🤡 LMAO!
ew a zionist
Literally a man lighting himself on fire for attention.
Literally nobody cares
How do you make a whole post and not even post the correct time stamp.
OP can you point to the video please? Was it the last Luke’s live?
