I agree with you. Suicide-prevention is shallow and meaningless. It's all about empty platitudes. I just recently talked about this subject with other people and I came to the conclusion that it's wasted tax money. Suicide-prevention doesn't solve problems which cause suicide because they would have to address serious societal issues like mental illness, the psychiatric system, poverty, isolation and bullying - these are though topics. And they can't just be solved in one day. They're not really about solving these problems that turn people suicidal in the first place because doing so would require a lot more effort than empty platitudes on suicide-prevention posters. They only fight the symptoms, that's all they care about. Their goal is preventing suicide at all costs and making the statistics look better, so they can boast about it. They simply don't have the resources to assist people. That's why they always mention the suicide-hotline whenever they spread awareness about suicide, because apparently, a little bit of talking will get rid of serious medical and mental conditions, poverty or lack of health care. I can't take them seriously anymore and whenever I walk past a suicide-prevention poster, I can't do anything but shake my head at their incompetence.
Absolutely spot on. It's pretty much disgusting how, even almost halfway through 2019, suicide prevention is still being promoted and paraded around. Worse yet, these anti-choice, suicide-preventionists feel like they are doing a good thing by imposing their will (under
no legal authority, except for LE, doctors, and other people in government) on those who don't wish to continue life.
Also, if there is a way to get in contact with "Eye Doubt It" without actually posting on YT comments where my post is public, I'd like to know. I don't see any contact information or a way to reach him on his channel. I really like to get in touch with him since I share most, if not all of the same views as he does.
I agree, Koal. The value of life is debatable, but i think everyone can agree that suffering sucks.
There's a cult in Russia where "suicide is ok". Made me really curious.
This is an interesting video. There is one thing I do agree with is that the 'cult' is ok with suicide. However, there are many things I don't agree with necessarily, no drugs (I don't do drugs but it seems to affect those that do), no swearing/cussing (I do have a foul mouth, haha), and pure veganism (I like to eat meat since it's tasty and going ALL vegan isn't fun. No offense to people who are vegan, but veganism just isn't for me.). It would be a tough choice to decide whether I want one very fundamental right at the cost of others (no swearing, no meat, no drugs, etc.)
