All true. I suspect that leads to the cult of victimization they believe in. But the ones he listed, I suspect drugs were the primary driver of mental instability.

I would argue it isn't that it strikes less. It's that they don't typically seek traditionally therapy that would be reported statistically. They typically seek for guidance for those issues with folks who may not seek traditional licensure and instead provide service through the church or other conservative venues instead.

Country stars just drink themselves to death but 2 of those on your list are suspicious.

This is a really weird thing to be mad at on a Friday afternoon.

Get off your phone and go spend time with your family.

I know that's certainly the consensus in your field. And I don't doubt that it impacts reporting and makes it difficult to take those studies at face value, even if I think they're indicative of a conclusion most of us would also draw from lived experience.

A lot of musicians in general are alcoholics. They love to booze it up whenever they get a chance.

This, people on the left are far more likely to seek diagnosis for mental problems and are also far more likely to receive treatment for it.

According to Facebook, they didn’t take themselves out. They were working together to expose the political and Hollywood elites involved in child abuse and trafficking and were taken out.

First, keep Chris Cornell’s name outcha mouth.

Second, plenty of country singers have drunk and pilled themselves to death. Is that more honorable to you?

It's gotta be difficult going through life feeling the need to classify everything that occurs as either "left-wing" or "right-wing."


Those people are miserable. They see politics in everything.

This. Church-based "therapy" isn't doing anything worthwhile therapeutically.

It typically just pushes blame on the victim and silences them so that the "community" doesn't know what happens.

I've witnessed this firsthand and it ruins lives.
