I'm sorry, but is your argument really that this issue is "n[o]t thought ... through" unless people actually starve themselves over it? That it's all a "ploy" unless this guy actually dies for his cause?

I can't quite tell if you're engaging in a non sequitur or moving the goalposts, but your comment doesn't make sense to me in context.

Correct, because anyone can say they’re on a hunger strike but it’s not possible to watch the guy 24/7 to see if he’s really following through.
