    Well when suicide rates are at an 80-year high, while the lack of a social safety net continues to deny people the dignity of life after work… well it’s not a huge leap.

    It wrong to say it’s capitalism, since every avenue of governance is plagued by the same monopolization of power and wealth, but when capitalism is held as closely by some as their religious beliefs; and these same beliefs are manipulated so as to convince people to vote against the construction of said social safety net… well. again, not a huge leap.

      I don’t disagree with you, I just find using death and suicide as an opportunity to shill one’s political ideology unasked to be opportunistic and utterly disgusting.

        Don’t talk about why it’s happening or what you think might help reduce it, just be sad that it is happening. We’ll talk about it once it has stopped happening and everyone has stopped being sad about it.
