Starting ones self on fire is a suicide attempt, regardless of political motive. This isn't the same as sky diving or even trying to see the Titanic in a carbon fiber pod, this is pure and simple, self immolation to death that failed, so far.

You should talk to a therapist, it might help your situation.
You're making an awful lot of assumptions about something you don't know any fucking thing about. You have no idea the shit that has gone through my mind and the demons that I've faced. You have to be completely ignorant to not see that others are affected by suicide, that they are victims all the same, but the difference is that they have to keep on living with it.
You don't think that Mike or anyone else had to sit there and live with survivors guilt, or wonder what they could have done to help him? Or his wife left with kids to raise all on her own, you don't think that it's selfish of him to leave them all high and dry? Fuck that. Maybe in your magic bubble where there aren't consequences for actions, but not in the real world.
I get around $120 a week to sell my plasma in the middle of the US at a BioLife center. Payment varies a little depending on the center you go to and various promotions, but it's usually pretty close. It's about 2-3 hours a week commitment.
In college, the money was necessary, but now I do it for extra side cash. My wife and I own a home, two vehicles, and are doing well, so I don't need the money. I do it to supplement non budgeted items for fun, like weed, one or more snowboarding trips to actual elevation, and bass guitars and bass guitar accessories to name a few. Could it pay more? Probably, but I don't feel like I'm getting ripped off for the time I'm giving.
I used to double dip, and do my hourly job while donating, which got me out of the office earlier, and got extra money. Now I'm salary and have meetings and shit.
To each their own. I've watched a lot of movies with Tom Cruise and other shows with other Scientologist. The group is fucked, but I guess that's not where I draw the line in who I choose to allow in my media life, but I get that others do, and that's fine. I have my own moral lines with other things.
It's not victim blaming to point out that suicide is a selfish act that has living victims. Like I said, it's sad, but the reality is that when Chester killed himself, the band, his family, and those others closest to him were abondoned.
I've never been in the position Chester was in, and I don't fault him for ending his pain, because as I mentioned, I can empathize with the situation, but he's not the only victim.
My former boss told me that. I asked him if he'd ever been to highschool, because nobody would shit in a litterbox if people knew about it, and no school would be stupid enough to engage in such a ridiculous idea.
I jumped right in the deep end with Arch. I've been a sys admin for about a decade and in IT for another 5 years, so I'm good with computers, but more importantly, I'm good at searching for and finding solutions to my problems. It was a bit rocky for the first setup, but been mostly smooth sailing since Jan or Feb. I reformatted to change to btrfs and snapper after the first month or two.
I still don't know a lot about how Linux works or where any of the config files are, but I'm learning. I'm all on the bandwagon.

Doing something that will almost assuredly kill you is a suicide attempt.
