Life is Hell and I want to burn in it until the last person is free.

In which case you will be burning for a long time. And what does that achieve?
If someone is sinking in quicksand we don't help them by jumping into the quicksand with them. Better to stay on firm ground and throw them a rope.
If you want to end the suffering of others, first become free from suffering in yourself. Otherwise you are just part of the problem.
