Experts caution that suicide is complicated, and that recent increases might be driven by a range of factors, including higher rates of depression and limited availability of mental health services

But a main driver is the growing availability of guns,




Yup, that’s definitely it.

There’s a meaning crisis.
The New Atheists failed us.

Return to traditional Christianity. It’s the only way to live well.

I’m not talking about non denominationalism or Protestant Fundamentalism.

Exactly, it’s a war on men. The media and liberal universities want to feminize young men and turn them into girls, literally.

Andrew Tate has been saying this for a long time. When men start to realize their purpose in life and understand that motivation towards success comes from within, that’s when the suicide rates in men will drop.

That’s what the radical feminists and woke elitists fear, a legion of motivated men who respect themselves and understand their purpose in life. When that happens, hopefully we will shift back towards a patriarchal society and away from this disgusting matriarchal one that degrades men.

Mentally ill people need sanitariums. I think we need to build a bunch more and have long term inpatient treatment. If we're not going to do that then I'm fine with them taking the suicide approach.

Regular society is not equipped, nor should it be, to house mentally ill people.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with the results of a lockdown and a shite economy

Ignorant cünt. Prior to 1968 you could order a gun from the Sears catalog and have it delivered to your door with no questions asked.

I agree with this… women sadly use this to gain attention. IMO they don’t really want to die, they just want someone to listen…..

You can thank Reagan for closing down many of the psych hospitals in addition to deinstitutionalization of the homeless and troubled. From the 60’s until today.

I’ll never understand why violent individuals with mental issues are able to walk freely among us. Then when they butcher people to death, everyone bitched that he should’ve been in an institution.

Man look at that chart in that story. Goes relatively sideways from the 70s all the way to 2003 and then starts exponentially increasing.


Good old social media...obvious is obvious.

And there it is.


Clearly written by someone with an agenda. There are books on this topic, the trend has been the same for 35 years. Pain killers and the disintegration of the lower middle class lifestyle are the main culprits. Suicide by gun is not nearly as prevalent as suicide by drugs and alcohol these days.

Closing psychiatric facilities began in the late 60's. 20 years before Reagan came to office.
