It's not even mean. And this isn't some niche sub specifically about Sync. It's the most generic sub imaginable. Are they paid by Sync?

FYI Izzy got permabanned for stating this opinion. That's really insane.

I’m all for banning guns.

But I am NOT interested in simply removing a person’s capacity to kill themselves and then leaving their desire to kill themselves intact… and then ignoring the conditions that are making hordes of people depressed enough to kill themselves.

I’m also 100% interested in the people who are depressed but who aren’t suicidal. I want people to live their best lives. This conversation should be about them, about what’s causing this about whether we can help. I want to know what’s wrong. I want them to stop wanting to kill themselves.

Again, I’m not saying “don’t go to therapy.” We are talking about a nationwide phenomenon of depression, suicide, addiction. Therapy can help some of those people. But this phenomenon has some cause. All this talk of therapy is seeking to add therapy instead of removing the cause.

I want to respond to the cause itself, rather than only adding therapy.

Therapy can possibly help heal. I’m more interested in reducing the conditions which make therapy necessary.

Increased gun ownership isn’t causing a mental health crisis.

You’re suggesting that the cause of a wave of suicides is only a lack of therapy? There’s nothing else behind it?

why “exclusively” ?

How will it prevent people from wanting to kill themselves?

Where are you getting this 2a stuff from? How is it even related? Nobody said that guns will save the USA from suicides and overdoses. You’re talking nonsense.

And who is “angry for no reason?” You’re the one angry at men who are killing themselves. This is super weird and cruel.

The enormous numbers of people killing themselves are not necessarily buying guns or hating minorities. And therapy can only respond to pre-exisitng problems. If there are society-wide problems creating terrible living conditions, we need a society-wide prevention scheme.

Or you can spew vile hatred and pretend it’s because you’re against hatred.

Ugh. In these comments I see we’ve evolved from “men should man up and stop whining” to “men should stop manning up and theoretically start whining, but in practice still stop whining actually.”

It’s not their attitudes causing massive increases in suicides and deaths of despair, you fools. It’s material conditions. And it’s not caused by the right wing trolls who might try to take advantage. shoeonhead got it right imo

Edit:

I just read the article and it’s one of the stupidest and most beligerently ideological things I’ve ever read.

I’m sympathetic to this because capitalism is indeed eating society, but I’m not convinced a planned economy would work. Are there large scale examples of planned economies working?

We need a balance of capitalism, socialism, and democracy. We are unbalanced toward capitalism. We just need to tip the scale, not overthrow capitalism.

I would literally have to be kidnapped and dragged to the office against my will.

This is basically an ad saying “if you want to get laid visit reddit.” Honestly reddit probably suggested it. They’re going to coin the phrase “reddit and chill.”

Let’s hope they replace him with someone that’s not a goon for the republicans (they won’t)

So many racisms

Indeed

Yep
