Suicide prevention has been an insidious form of control enacted by authoritarians throughout the course of history, a prime example being religion. The rich and powerful require slaves, prisoners, scapegoats and leverage to effectively carry out their plan of endless production and to ultimately remain powerful, in a circular motion. To those who hold socioeconomic power, a human being is a vital resource, and to maintain a viable supply, suicide is a loss that must be reduced, however, you cannot effectively outlaw it or monetize it, so what is the next choice? To demonize it, and to render it an unthinkable act that which is only carried out by the insane. Dissenters are labelled as "mentally ill", and thus, seen as social vampires. This is reflected in the language used surrounding people who either commit to the act, or ideate - "You're being selfish", "what about your family / friends? You'll just pass your pain onto them.", "It is not the world that's shitty, it's you. You're just depressed", among other bullshit rhetoric, all spouted by brainwashed spreaders of capitalist & religious propaganda. As a result, the suicidal can never be viewed as rational, and therefore, are not deemed capable of exercising their own personal freedom & bodily autonomy, this leads to people, even randomers, going out of their way to stop you from escaping, getting you arrested, locked up, institutionalized and beaten into submission. Very real external factors leading to one's rejection of society and the world at large will be dismissed as "crazy", and responsibility will be relegated to the individual.
If you despise and do not want to partake in the current system that has been forced upon you since birth, are you "just depressed"? Or has the system fucked you in every fillable hole?
