   A man in Poland set himself on fire to protest the dominant party's policies. You won't hear about it from corporate media outlets.

     @starbreaker I can confirm this. The man has died after several days in intensive care, never regaining consciousness.

     Left a well-written and argued letter explaining his motives.

     All over media in #Poland. Ruling party is trying to spin this as "an act of a mad man" or a "troubled person". The man predicted this in his letter.

     Haven't seen a mention outside Poland.
